Synopsis

'I'm awake. I'm alive. Everything's real and I love you.'
Lin, an astronaut, speeds towards a distant planet. He's on a pioneering solo mission to create a new home for humankind.
His only human contact is an exchange of voice messages with his lover, Silas, back on Earth. But thanks to the laws of relativity, Silas is ageing so much faster than Lin. Days for the astronaut will be decades for the lover left behind.
As disaster befalls the spacecraft and planet Earth falls apart, Silas and Lin's love is tested to the limit.
Timothy X Atack's DELAY is a love story. A suspenseful, heartwrenching yet hopeful queer sci-fi stage play about saying what you mean and saying goodbye. It was first performed at Bristol Old Vic in 2025.
Disponible depuis: 26/06/2025.
Longueur d'impression: 88 pages.

    We’re basically Romeo and Juliet. But dudes. And without all the dying.  
    Chad 
    Being VP of Sigma Beta Psi is wild. I get all the benefits of being in charge with hardly any of the responsibility.  
    Parties, pranks, and frat politics—college life has never been sweeter.  
    Until I meet Bailey Prince. 
    He has the face of a goddamn angel. I don’t know where he came from or why I’m so obsessed.  
    But I do know he’s a Kappa.  
    And our houses have a rivalry that’s written into legend. 
    Bailey 
    At Rho Kappa Tau, I’m a legacy.  
    It’s a lot of pressure, but I’ve always been responsible, never had that rebellious need to rock the boat, and I like it that way.  
    But after a party at Sigma—the jock frat—I meet Chad Doomsen, and for the first time in my life I want to step outside my square.  
    Our houses have always had a rivalry, but some of the guys seem to hate Chad specifically, and I don’t know why. 
    He’s surprisingly sweet and kind. At least to me. 
    I need to stay away. A relationship with Chad would be betraying the very legacy that brought me here. 
    But I can’t help myself. And it seems, neither can he.

    Despite the angry scars she carries from her childhood training, Zoe Lorel has reached a good place in her life. She has her dream job as an elite operative in an international spy agency and found her true love. Her world is mostly perfect—until she is sent to abduct a nine-year-old girl. The girl is the only one who knows the riddle that holds the code to unleash the most lethal weapon on earth—the first ever "invisibility" nanoweapon, a cloaking spider bot. 
     
     
     
    Zoe's agency is not the only one after the child. China developed the cloaking bot and will stop at nothing to keep its code secret. While China rapidly hones in on Zoe, her threats grow. Enemies in Austria and Bulgaria reveal the invisibility weapon's existence to underground arms dealers—now every government and terrorist organization in the world want the nanobot. 
     
     
     
    From Malta to the Italian Alps to England, Zoe races to save not only the child she has grown to care about, but also herself. Her drug addiction is threatening her engagement to the one person who brings her happiness, yet she needs the agency prescribed pills. They transform her into the icy killer she must be to survive. Can she still be ruthless without the chemicals that suppress her emotions?

    When magic reunites two fated mates who’d once been friends, will they fall in love and find light in the darkness or lose themselves in it? 
    Diego 
    Losing your sight at the age of ten was not fun. Losing your best friend was even worse. Not every kid befriended the monster under their bed, but Shade hadn’t been a monster. He’d been sweet, kind, and the best friend I’d ever had. He’d also saved my life. 
    I’d thought I would never see him again, but then the thing that kept me safe and stopped me from getting hurt started tugging me somewhere, and following its pull led me straight to Shade. Finding him again was nothing short of a miracle, and there was no way I was letting him go again. 
    Shade 
    Living in the Sanctuary was great. I had a place of my own, and I didn’t have to be afraid of light, or the pain it would cause me. I was safe, if a little lonely. I had friends, but none as close as the one I’d once had, even if he’d been just a child. 
    When Diego walked right into my home one day out of nowhere, I was afraid I was dreaming. But he was really there, had been led to me by my own shadows that’d stayed with him years ago. I’d never thought we would meet again, and I’d never imagined he would grow up into such a good-looking man. 
    Shade is an MM paranormal romance novella featuring a shadow-being vulnerable to the light, a blind human who always finds the silver lining, and the pocket dimension of The Sanctuary, home to all kinds of supernatural beings. 
    While Shade is a standalone novella and can be read on its own, it is a part of The Sanctuary series and chronologically falls between The Jorogumo and The Shtriga.
