The Variant

The Variant

John August
0/5 ( ratings)
After 35 years working at the Central Library, Vincent Lewis has perfected the art of unremarkability. But when a terrified woman falls through his bathroom ceiling, he's forced back into a life of gunfights, double agents and paranormal research. The secret he's been keeping for nearly four decades might reunite him with his lost love, or kill millions.

This new short story by John August falls into the genre of paranoid "spy-fi" popularized by writers like Jorge Luis Borges and shows like The Prisoner and The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

== What Others Say ==

"I really dug the story. Gave it a glance just to see, got totally hooked, and blazed on through to the end."

-- Michael Chabon

"The Variant" is both a good, fun, smart story and an interesting experiment in indie self-publishing for fiction."

-- John Gruber, daringfireball.net
