Book Excerpt for the Day


    Pirius said slowly, “I can’t come back.”

    Luru Parz laughed.  “But it doesn’t matter.  Sentient or not, it will only be a copy, like a Virtual.  And it won’t last long.  It has to be you, Ensign.” (…)

    Pirius looked at the frame.  He felt numbed, not even afraid; perhaps his imagination was exhausted.  He shrugged.  “There are already two copies of me running around the Galaxy.  I suppose I’m used to be being split in half.  When shall we do this?”
