On their way to Dawson a year ago, as they’d travelled down the Yukon River from Lake Bennett in a boat hastily made of green logs, with a sail which the day before had been a tent, it had taken his breath away to see how completely empty — how vast — this land was. They’d stayed on the river, an...
People assumed Los Angeles was always sunny and wonderful, but the past few years had taught him otherwise. There wasn’t any snow, but it got cold enough at night to endanger anyone’s health. Even now, half an hour before sunrise, he caught wisps of his breath. His morning run was almost done. It...
A stone’s throw from Manhattan, this rugged wilderness on the southeastern corner of New York State had become a refuge for weary New Yorkers and boasted some of the most famous trout streams in the United States. It was here, knee-deep in the Beaverkill River, that Simon had taught Dan the art o...
It was an elegant nineteenthcentury building decorated in the style of the Belle Epoque, full of French furniture and foreigners. There was a ballroom with a hall of mirrors that imitated the famous salon in the palace of Versailles, and a busy international bar that never closed. Peking was a ci...
He had bought three factories and a cinema and turned out a family living in a house next to the cinema so that he could bulldoze it and build a Fast Food restaurant. There had been a court case and a fuss because the family had a disabled child and a sick mother, but Mr Sprott had won. He always...
For a few seconds, he stared across his empty bedroom, looking at the slanted moonlight on the wall. It was still the middle of the night. Had he heard a noise? Or just imagined it? He held still for a minute, listening; but when he heard only silence, he lay back against his pillow with a disgru...
If you see a bitch with big tits, a big ass, brown hair, and a wide mouth, go talk to her ‘til I get there. Cuz, obviously, bugfuck here gotta purge his soul.” After the two men left and Christopher had lit cigarettes for them, Johnnie hung his head. &nbs...
She was pretty enough, there was no doubt about that, but she really didn’t do it for him. For a start, she wasn’t a blonde and though slim, she was far too curvy for his tastes. He like his women stick thin, blonde and with huge breasts. And preferably without too much in the brains department. ...
When he reached the entrance to The Flesh Factory, the sun was low in the afternoon sky and just about to dip below the rooftops. Inside, they were gearing up for a busy night ahead. Tables were being set up around the stage by the waitstaff, while technicians were ad...
The outline of her silver-trimmed mask suggested a skull. The domed temple was taller than the surrounding buildings. The arched entryway made those who passed through look like children. Bits of metal had been mixed into the mortar between the stones, causing them to sparkle in the sunlight. ...
By chance and by design, I have lived in the middle of several of them: the Texas oil boom of the mid-1970s, Japan’s all-around boom of the late 1980s, and the Seattle and Bay Area Internet bubble of the late 1990s. Inside the boom zone, people don’t spend much time thinking about how the good ti...
Elise was tired, lack of sleep from this morning starting to catch up with her. Still, she didn’t take Mencheres up on his offer to have someone else guard Blake while she rested. It seemed too cruel to pass Blake off to a stranger just so she could sleep, especially since people were acting like...
They were short, stubby, fleshy - like a link of Polish sausages. He had a large oval face. His chin was augmented by two tiers of fat. He had thinning hair, round horn-rimmed glasses, and a very expensive three-piece suit. It was dark grey with a thick chalk pinstripe. I guessed that it was made...
In fact, the only thing he found surprising about his job these days was that he still had one. If he'd been running Parrot Beach, he'd have fired himself some weeks before. He followed Zack up the shady pathway to the office. Study up, his colleague had told him at their first meeting. Learn to ...
