THE END OF REASON?


In the future, life on Earth is good.  Disease is checked, hunger ended, war and suffering abolished.  Justice is available for all and no man bends the will of another.

Walter Blunt would end this.  His Chantry Guild carries this motto, "DESTRUCT!" and its power over the mystical Alternate Laws into the very heart of human society, with devastating effect.  The unwilling instrument of the Guild's evil is Paul Formain, a cripple whose psychic skill with the Alternate Laws has marked him as Blunt's heir.  Bot Formain, now frightened himself, has begun to suspect that his desire for this power stems from a soul no longer wholly his own....

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
