| Publisher Description: It was cold that mid-winter morning, when the body of a woman lying prone atop a transparent table was slowly revealed as the cloud of liquid nitrogen dissipated. She just traveled in a digital bitstream from an identical table she lied atop just a split second prior, but 30 feet away. She appears lifeless. Was this breakthrough "teleportation"? They say it couldn't happen. It was impossible, they said. It would violate laws of superposition and quantum entanglement. Was it a success? The answer might be found in explanation of a brazen bank robbery which left multitudes dead by execution, and by the same trigger. The quest for teleportation was supposed to provide answers, not pose countless macabre questions. Enter Dr. Paul MacCauley and this team of four researchers - stealers of souls. Like Dr. Frankenstein toiling to breath life into the dead flesh of what would become his monster, Dr. MacCauley's team took life and displaced it in hopes of reanimating it where it didn't exist before. Their quest started as a scientific pursuit, but ended as a philosophical study of the cosmic reach, enduring power and near massless fragility of the human soul. |
