Icarus Syndrome (Unabridged) John Long
Taking risks and exploring the unknown are as vital to human beings as our need for air, for growth, for affirmation, for something. These 19 stories reach deep into humanity's compulsion for the rush of new experiences. But gently, because it's not only records we might shatter. Where does adventure turn to recklessness? What happens when we toe the edge above the void and face the big silence, where we might see God—and die without warning? The Icarus Syndrome seeks to capture our push for more and hold it to the light, lofty and free, for as long as we dare tempt the downward slip. Both are possible; only one is assured.
