  Exile of the Eons - The Long...

  Arthur C. Clarke’s Exile of the Eons opens at the moment of total defeat. A ruthless mastermind, cornered by the collapse of his global war, refuses surrender and turns instead to an audacious experiment in suspended animation—choosing exile in time rather than face justice. He believes that a hundred years will be enough for the world to forget his name and his crimes. 
  But time is far larger than he expects. When the story leaps deep into Earth’s distant future, the consequences of his gamble reveal themselves through the eyes of another exile—one far removed from violence, empire, and conquest. As civilizations rise and fall, Clarke unfolds a vast cosmic perspective that reframes power, morality, and responsibility. The story builds toward a quiet but profound reckoning that lingers long after the final pages. 
  Arthur C. Clarke is one of the most influential voices in science fiction history, celebrated for blending scientific rigor with philosophical depth. His stories often explore humanity’s place in the universe, the ethics of power, and the long shadows cast by technology and ambition. 
  Best known for works like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Clarke helped define modern hard science fiction while remaining deeply concerned with moral consequence. Exile of the Eons showcases his gift for compressing epic spans of time into intimate, unforgettable moments.

  How it started: An accidental phone grab during my rehearsal dinner while my fiancé went to use the restroom. How it ended: Reading all the dirty texts between him and my maid of honor, aka little sister, during our vows in front of the world in what would later be considered one of the most viral wedding videos on TikTok. Did I mention his vows were before mine, and he compared me to my adopted dog because, and I quote, “I’m so loyal”? My first instinct, after exposing his dirty lies, was to run up to the clueless rockstar who was supposed to headline my reception and ask him to sing my tears away. I never expected him to help me escape certain disaster, kiss me senseless, and then buy me ice cream. But that was all in the past—until I’m staring down at a wedding invitation from my ex. You see, he swapped sisters, and now a year later, they’re getting married at a gorgeous winery while I’m still staring down at a plus one, wondering if I can bring my pet turtle. In desperation, I send a drunken text to the hot rockstar with a picture of my turtle in a bowtie. Who knew he'd show up at the wedding—but get this, it isn’t to save me. Nope, it's to SING! SHE STOLE HIM TOO! But now that he’s there and I’m there and the history is there, I beg him one more time to save me, this time as my date. But lie after lie just keep pouring out of my mouth until we're somehow fake-engaged. I would laugh if crying didn’t feel so good. Should have brought the freaking turtle...

  The corpse was snoring softly behind the sofa.  
  It is early November and the Wynmouth Fire Festival is in full flow. A dozen or more giant statues are about to be put to the torch. The locals jokingly refer to it as “the Bonfire Night Massacre”. Fireworks and bonfires are the order of the day, and Simon Turing is looking forward to seeing the display. 
  He is in town performing at a local theatre, a revival of a fifties mystery play. All is not well at the venue, however. The theatre is in financial trouble and there are tensions backstage. The management needs a good box office if the theatre is to survive the winter. Luckily, the fire festival is a significant draw to the town. But when the theatre’s own contribution to the festivities erupts into flames a couple of days earlier than planned, it does not bode well for the rest of the run.
