Thirteen Fourteen Fifteen O'clock

David Gerrold
When this master storyteller breaks new ground, he does it with a flame-thrower.

This astonishing work dives headlong into the darkest parts of the heart, coming out again on the far side, to discover the most human of all human adventures. Take this journey and you will never be the same.
