Sur Terre, aujourd’hui, ici et là. Il y a ce truc sphéroïde reposant sur cinq... jambes ? Un monstre, quoi d’autre ? Quelque chose errant loin de son Nid. Et dont dépend la survie de ses pairs. Il y a cette femme aux cheveux blancs coupés très courts dans sa robe noire moulante qui vous regarde bizarrement, comme si elle en savait trop sur vous. Il y a celui-là, aussi, ce type à la mine morose. On le serait à moins : il se croit le génocidaire de sa propre civilisation. Et puis Stacey Papandreou, qui semble avoir traversé l’Histoire, sans coup férir. Et le lieutenant-colonel Bruno Zendahl, membre de la très sérieuse, très secrète, très fermée Ligue apkallu. Il arrive à Annie Troy de travailler pour lui. Froide comme l’acier, calculatrice, d’une logique implacable, Troy ignore le doute aussi bien que l’échec... Si tous ne se connaissent pas, tous sont liés. Par un enjeu qui les dépasse de beaucoup : la vie, le temps, l’univers et ses possibles... « Les récits de Michael F. Flynn commencent en vous titillant le cerveau et s’achèvent en vous perçant le cœur. » NANCY KRESS Connexions est lauréat du prix Analog 2017

Music abides as an elemental force in the lives and situations chronicled in each of these seventeen stories and a concluding novella. The opening five stories groove to a noirish, mid-century jazz idiom, and the twelve middle stories develop as movements in an interconnected symphony of frustrations and felicities, while the novella charts in detail the pre-and-post Covid inner life of a boomer poet struggling obsessively with her bulimia and professional career aspirations. What all the characters share is a desire to follow Emerson''s advice to "make much of your own place."

With the Covid pandemic winding down but not yet over, Ennis Railsback, 55, a Texas-born indie film producer in Manhattan and co-founder of Rain-Or-Rust Pictures, departs what he calls "the lost world" to begin a journey in "the floating world" to learn the meaning of love and to peel back the multi-layered details surrounding his death by accident in a drive-by shooting in Queens while on his way to see Agnes Bailey Kotas and to ask her to marry him. Ennis recounts his friendship with Agnes, her obsession with photography, her unconventional relationship and eventual divorce from her Fentanyl-dealing husband Derek, and the detrimental falling out these two have with a lover they share, Holly Greene, as part of what they call their "triangle game." All these layers, once exposed, reveal to Ennis a disturbing though not hopeless conclusion.

Sad and Happy Days is the first part of the autobiographical novel Sex, Drugs, Rock and Roach: Cedric''s Story. As the title suggests, it''s the story of a life buffeted by turbulence and dramatic change, this first part beginning in the drear fifties, spanning the blossoming colour, chaos and sexual liberation of the sixties, and, out of necessity, breaking off in the early seventies. It is a reflection on an individual person''s life, and on the period itself and what it was that was that for better or worse was changing. It is a study of the vulnerability of innocence to corruption, with the conviction running throughout of the goodness of nature, and of human nature in particular. The content includes sexual themes from childhood and adulthood, dealing with both masturbation and pornography. The content itself, however, is not pornographic.

In the Belly of the Whale is a gripping epic that takes readers on a profound voyage through time and space aboard an enormous generation ship. The narrative captures the poignant transformation of Earth''s finest minds into a stifling regime, their rigid rules sparking an uprising among the hard-pressed crew. This provocative tale delves into the price of freedom, the metamorphosis of societies, and the repeating patterns of tyranny and liberation. Against this, Earth itself is undergoing a significant period of change, offering a layered, thought-provoking backdrop to the story. In the Belly of the Whale is a compelling exploration of humanity''s enduring pursuit of freedom, pushing the boundaries of the genre to offer a deeply insightful study of societal evolution and individual resilience. Thisis more than a space odyssey; it''s an invitation to delve into the heart of the human spirit and societal dynamics.

LITIGATOR: A True Story of Courtroom Combat and Spiritual Awakening For fifty years, Michael J. Flynn has been a warrior in the American legal system, taking on big cases like the Church of Scientology who surveilled, threatened and sued him frivolously twenty-one times. He has exposed corrupt judges, and represented a diverse portfolio of clients from Mike Love of The Beach Boys to victims of corporate negligence that needed his help to fight injustice against the most powerful entities. He kept fighting. He kept winning. But the courtroom was only half the battle. When he began trying cases, Flynn also began meditating, following the teachings of Transcendental Meditation, then Paramahansa Yogananda and the path of Kriya Yoga. What he discovered over five decades of parallel practice was extraordinary: the principles of spiritual warfare and courtroom strategy were not separate disciplines, they were quantumly entangled. The stillness he cultivated in meditation became his most powerful weapon in the pit of litigation. Litigator is the true story of that dual journey. It is a legal thriller filled with landmark cases, institutional corruption, and courtroom drama. It is a spiritual memoir exploring consciousness, past-life experiences, and encounters with spiritual Masters. It is a profound meditation on justice, karma, and what it means to fight for truth in a system designed to crush it. Flynn takes the reader inside cases that exposed the dark underbelly of American justice, from religious cults to corporate cover-ups, to the Deep State machinery that operates in the shadows of our courts. Yet he also reveals the inner journey that made survival possible: the daily practice of seeking the Kingdom of God within. Part exposé, part awakening, Litigator is for anyone who has ever wondered whether one person can make a difference against overwhelming odds. He illustrates how each of us can contribute to justice in the world, because achieving peace within the soul has the same result.
