The Longest Shard
Despre această carte electronică
Wrongly accused of treason, Colonel Gideon Quinn enters the Morton Barrens Penitentiary looking forward to a lifetime of harvesting the volatile crystal that powers the colonies.
Then he meets Renny Boucher—a convicted murderer with a long memory and an appetite for vengeance—and discovers that his life sentence may be much shorter than he anticipated.
The Longest Shard is the second Tale of Fortune, and details much of Gideon's life while in the Morton Barrens. A little Shawshank Redemption, a little Wonderful Life, and a lot Gideon Quinn, The Longest Shard will delight fans of low-tech sci-fi, hope-punk, origin stories, and tiny dragons.
