    Summary

    To some, the return of magic is a miracle; to others, a catastrophe. But to physicist Julia Chen, it’s all a colossal headache. Now, she’s setting out across the wintry, post-apocalyptic landscape of Fairy-occupied Canada in search of answers. The subject of her inquiries: an enigmatic Fae known only as Mr. Elsevier, who seems to have power over matter and energy at the most fundamental level and who is willing to share this knowledge—for a price.

    But Julia’s quest does not take place in a political vacuum. In Ottawa, the new Fairy Viceroy draws up her plans for the country, even as her puppet Prime Minister, Chuck Oakes, struggles desperately to protect his people. But rebellion is brewing, and Mr. Elsevier may just be the key to human victory.

    Now, with the murderous politics of the Fae heating up, Julia will soon learn that, in sorcery as in science, simple questions can sometimes have very dangerous answers. She is on the cusp of ultimate knowledge: a theory of magic that would explain what has become of the world and how it can be reversed—but asking the wrong question may well unravel reality itself.

    Summary

    Gordon never came across as particularly intimidating; he was too frayed at the ends, too high strung and moralistic. Still, he was a trigger happy anxious wreck pumped with adrenaline (natural and artificial), and he was protected from anything and everything with the impenetrable HEV suit keeping him safe from radiation, bootboys, and Benreys.

    This time, Gordon didn’t have the HEV suit. All he had were sweatpants (worn by time and fabric softener), and a t-shirt with a graphic so faded that Benrey couldn’t tell what it was. Motherfucker didn’t even have shoes, and he was currently struggling to maintain his balance on the slick floors in his basic-ass white socks. His eyes were bloodshot, and he had a red mark on his face, one that would soon enough turn into a deep purple bruise. Had two arms, though. A win is a win.

    He regained his bearings as quickly as he could be expected to, and leapt back into action, presumably to continue his mad dash in the opposite direction. His eyes caught up with his brain and spotted the lone guard standing in the hallway in front of him.

    His mouth fell open. He stared in shock.

    Benrey pointed to the gun in Gordon’s hand. “Hey, did you steal that?"
