Uptown

Brian Ackley

Ben has been single for a long time. For his part, he is a loner but as well a romantic: he enjoys the solitude of his simple being but appreciates intelligent and witty company just the same. By yielding to both extremes, Ben remains caught between reason and arousal. Isabel has been married for a year. The passion that had once carried her 5-year relationship has lost its pulse. Passive, protective, and without poise, it now threatens to claim hers. Waiting in abeyance, Isabel is lost between loyalty and loneliness. Uptown is where they come together.

Dinarte Freitas, Peter E. Tasciotti

In the future, civilization has reached perfection... but what if perfect isn't forever? What will save the Earth when there's nowhere to go, but down? Deep into the Past of the Forsaken Age.
