Sinopse

An astronomer challenges an emperor.
A hunter pursues the last dinosaur through a remote rainforest.
A young Kerryman emigrates to the Moon to seek his fortune.


These fifteen darkly funny stories illuminate a side of Irish literary history that is often overlooked. In the 19th and 20th centuries, the winds of change came rushing in Ireland's direction. Science and technology would transform everything: life, love, death, crime, war, and even history itself.

Edited and introduced by Jack Fennell, this collection of lesser-known works of classic Irish science fiction includes stories by Frances Power Cobbe, Fitz-James O'Brien, Charlotte McManus and Cathal Ó Sándair.

A Brilliant Void as the fifth in Tramp Press's Recovered Voice list.
Disponível desde: 16/11/2018.

    Will this killer scare him to death or kill him? 
    Lance Alexander Sr sat singing along with his car radio as he waited to pick up his son Jr. He was totally distracted by the music. He didn't see the man jump in his car til it was too late. "What are you doing in my car," said Lance noticing him. 
    "Drive!" said the stranger coldly. 
    "I'm waiting for my son hit the road, Jack!" said Lance he hadn't time for this guy. 
    "Forget him and drive," said the stranger pulling a gun on Lance. 
    "You don't want to do this mate!" warned Lance knowingly. 
    "do you think you're a magician?" asked the carjacker. 
    "I'm worse!" said Lance smiling darkly as he stared the car and sped off. Lance was worse than a magician they were heroes he was wanted by the police as a serial killer. 
    His son saw his car speed away. 
    "Okay I'll take myself home then!" said Jr shortly and disappeared into thin air teleporting home. 
    Meanwhile, in the car, the carjacker was terrified thinking he chose the wrong car to carjack. The owner was insane and had some sort of a death wish he was all over the road like a madman and had a devil-may-care attitude with the carjacker. 
    "Let me out of here? I'll not hurt you if you let me go," pleaded the carjacker who was petrified. 
    "You said you wanted me to drive," said Lance in a mock hurt tone as he locked the doors and drove on.

    Living in the Los Angeles wasteland can be tough – especially when you’re just some dude whose only real skill is computer hacking. So, Artie Gonzalez spends most of his days building drones, modifying his bipolar robot girlfriend, and scavenging for his next pair of Chuck Taylors. Artie watched the world end ten years ago. That was after the famous programmer Satoshi Nakamoto released the world’s first sentient artificial intelligence. 
    Now planet Earth is a dump and Artie has finally accepted that fact, doing what any other respectable tech-nerd might do in his situation – build a post-apocalyptic man-cave. But the world is much different than he thinks. He’ll soon learn that thugs, raiders, and the occasional mutant are the least of his concerns. 
    Something terrible is making its way from the east, kidnapping humans and rendering cities desolate – and Artie may be the only one with the skills to stop it.With the help of some new friends, Artie is about to embark upon the quest of a lifetime – and maybe earn some Bitcoin along the way.
