After breaking their sworn oaths in a fit of forbidden passion, a sacrificial bride (Shekalane) and her fearsome escort (the ferryman Dravidian) find themselves alone and on the run in the subterranean river-world of Ursathrax.
"Do you know what it is?" he said at last.
She studied it, nodding slowly. "I think so. It's a doorway, of sorts. It's what awaits on the other side of death."
Dravidian nodded. "It is what Montair speaks of. Not death-but...

From The Fields Tinged with Red:"Mm." He spat for the first time that morning and looked out over the green fields. "Any sign of our friend?""Not hide nor sickle-claw."But Teddy had focused on something; something out by the freshly painted barn (which nonetheless leaned precariously; a result of the hurricane-like winds that had attended the Flashback, no doubt), and frowned. "You sure about that?""What do you mean?" Nick followed his gaze but saw...

"For one, Americans don't run. That's just not what made us great. It sure as hell ain't what made us great again, that I can tell you. We may withdraw on occasion, as I directed us to in Syria, but we don't run, and we sure as hell don't crawl hat in hand to some shit-hole like Mexico-especially when they're no more capable of dealing with this than is the greatest nation on earth-I mean, am I right, folks?"And to Tess' utter astonishment, people...

Naaygi found them waiting for her-as she somehow knew they would be-as the cage doors opened, their forward-facing eyes glinting the same hue as the lights in the sky and their dark, storm-colored bodies held absolutely still (even as another animal joined them and brought their number to four). She even knew somehow what they were; that they were a breed of carnosaur the evolved" humans had called nanotyrannosaurs, the Pygmy Tyrants," and that one...

"Wow," said Annie, her arms tightening around his waist. "Are you feeling it too?"
He focused on a dark shape hovering just above the wheat-several dark shapes-like hummingbirds, but big. Something glinted blue-black in the sun. "What do you mean?"
"The mescaline … I'm still tripping, baby." Her inner thighs constricted against his hips and he thought of the fantastic shag they'd shared in California-while standing doggie-style amidst the Vasquez...

Carnosaurs … gangs of killer hipsters … post-apocalypse Seattle is to die for. Welcome to the Big Empty, the world after the Flashback ... a world in which most the population has vanished and where dinosaurs roam freely. You can survive here, if you're lucky, and if you're not in the wrong place at the wrong time--which is everywhere and all the time. But what you'll never do is remain the same, for this is a world whose very purpose is to change...

Scenes and Interludes ... from an Improbable End A new series in the Flashback/Dinosaur Apocalypse Universe I looked to see Nigel and Ewan entering the shop from the left, the latter seeming like an utterly new man-his hair no longer mussed; his clothes no longer a catastrophic mess. "Apologies, apologies, a thousand apologies," he said, before pausing to admire Gargantua. "But a maiden voyage such as this requires a fresh change of clothes." He looked...

He begins trembling violently, turning this way and that, knowing he cannot find the truck, knowing that if he did it would not make any difference, it would not stop the ground from rolling or the terrorists from coming or Tiangong-1 falling or Mt. Kilauea from erupting. It would not stop the transmission from bleeding or the windshield from cracking. It would not stop the projector from burning out, from leaving them all in blackness, to shiver...

She supposed it was what they-or at least Sting of The Police-would have called synchronicity: that twangy guitar and soft-pedaled keyboard emanating so clearly from the RV's speakers as she ascended the vehicle's aluminum ladder. All she knew was that the song matched her mood perfectly, absurdly, as Karen Carpenter sang, Such a feeling's comin' over me / There is wonder in most everything I see …She gained the RV's roof and looked around: at the...

It wasn't long before Erik was sound asleep, snoring and sniffing, coughing and swallowing. They were climbing now, up the side of Mount Olive whose peak was enshrouded in a sinister gray mist. On a clear day you could see all of the Anchor Rock valley from here; not so tonight. Tonight it was but a vast pool of nearly impenetrable fog, beneath which Sheila could just make out the glowing, yellow lights of Anchor Rock proper. And she supposed she...
