First and Third (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

First and Third is a rollicking SF romp featuring hijacked robots, uploaded personalities, a digital afterlife and nuclear-powered motorbikes--set on a partially terraformed Mars. All this in a short story of 7000 words.

This is what Sam Tomaino has to say about it in his review of Postscripts 26/27 "Unfit for Eden" at SF Revu (26 March 2012): "'First and Third' by Vaughan Stanger Joe loves Maisie, even though she's dead. He keeps her mind alive, downloaded on some sort of server. He wants to keep her going until she achieves something called Rapture. It would take too long to explain the intricacies of all this. He makes a living on Mars repairing robots, but he's on the run from the law. Things get more complicated after that. Joe and Maisie are characters you'll like and that's enough for any story."
