Описание:
A volume written as homage to Arthur C. Clarke's Tales from the White Hart, featuring original stories from many of today's top genre writers, including Neil Gaiman, Charles Stross, Stephen Baxter, James Lovegrove, Liz Williams, Adam Roberts, Eric Brown, Ian Watson, and David Langford.
The Fountain: a traditional London pub situated in Holborn, just off Chancery Lane, where Michael, the landlord, serves excellent real ales and dodgy ploughman's, ably assisted by barmaids Sally and Bogna.
The Fountain, in whose Paradise bar a group of friends - scientists, writers and genre fans - meet regularly on a Tuesday night to swap anecdotes, reveal wondrous events from their past, tell tall tales, talk of classified invention and, maybe, just maybe, save the world...

Описание: When Ryan and his crew kidnap Edric Samuels, the teenage son of a billionaire, it doesn't take long for fractures to appear in their carefully constructed plan. The walls close in and the once good friends are suddenly at each other's throats. Things look bad-but they're about to get a whole lot worse. Edric is not an ideal prisoner, and soon pacifying the boy is their only option. Sometimes they use a needle, other times, their fists. But what his captors don't know is that each time he falls down the rabbit hole, Edric's nightmares are training him to be a killing machine. Are these hallucinations from the drugs . . . or are they something much darker? Once set on this path of revenge, Edric won't stop until his enemies are hollow shells of blood and bone.
