Echo Round His Bones

Mehr zum Buch

The story takes place shortly after the invention of the matter transmitter. With this useful device, one can send anything and anyone from one place to another in no time, no matter where, as long as there is a receiver. It is, in a sense, radio transport. Of course, such a matter transmitter is very handy. But it is also very new... perhaps there are side effects. Who can say? In any case, not the people who suffer from it! They can no longer say anything at all. In their shadow realm, they are invisible, inaudible, intangible - completely imperceptible to the real world. Every transmission from the transmitter produces an echo, a shadow: a ghostly duplicate separates from everything that is sent. Thus, the shadow realm becomes increasingly crowded... To make matters worse, the shadow of Nathan Hansard makes the paralyzing discovery that Earth is threatened with total destruction from Mars. As a ghost, it will not be easy for him to avert the disaster!
