A Bright Symmetry is a series of
stories set over the course of a year, stories of life, death and rebirth. After
more than two thousand years, immortal Scott Madigan was tired of life and its
unending struggles. But an archaeological expedition leads Scott to reassess
and change his life...though nothing compares to the changes undergone by his
lover, Zoe Baird.
The
seven stories in A Bright Symmetry are…
“Only
Time” – One year ago – Scott and Zoe travel back to Earth to visit with Scott’s
friends, Brynna Alexander and her husband Georges Severin. While they
reminisce, Zoe thinks she hears someone saying goodbye to her but can’t find
who said it…
“A
God To Dance With” – Seven months ago - Scott and Zoe are on an archaeological
expedition to the planet Stelvra. They were there to investigate the myth of
Quérahl-tan, the Stelvran’s Sleeping God. They were hoping to conduct the
research before the planet’s unstable political system collapsed. But what was
waiting for them in the tomb…and who would pay the consequences…
“Being”
– Scott begins to come to terms with the aftermath of the events in the tomb,
while getting to know the person Zoe had become. The suspicions of the ship’s
captain weren’t helping him cope. There a system failure threatened the whole
ship and only one person can help them…
“Intermezzo”
– Three months ago – Zoe’s condition has been deteriorating and she doesn’t
know why. To help find a cure, Scott has to turn to the Science Directorate
once again to set up an expedition to distant sector, one that is believed to
be uninhabited…or is it…
“The
Arc of Heaven” – One month ago – Scott contracts Arcadia Ryan, an old friend
and independent starship master, to transport him, Zoe and a team of scientists
and politicians to Zoe’s home to try and find out what’s wrong with her, as
well as study her people and establish relations with them. But Scott hadn’t
counted on the Science Directorate having its own agenda…
“Circle”
– Two days ago – Arcadia brings Scott and Zoe back to Earth so they can tell
Brynna and Georges what happened to Zoe. After misunderstandings, Scott finally
finds out who said goodbye to Zoe on their last visit a year ago…
“…and
Forever” – Now – Zoe learns one last secret as the final circle comes to a
close.
