The Virtues of Destruction
No Customer Reviews
Dr. Bernard Lemnus, Jr. has always known he was meant for great things. To his utter surprise, he achieves them with the invention of a marvelous new compound, aerosolvent-q, a nearly universal solvent. But, starved for his own success, he rushes the testing process and misses a fatal flaw-under certain conditions it is highly explosive. Allegations roll in, authorities are a hair away, and propelled by a mixture of pride, fear and maniac impulse he decides to stage the death of Dr. Lemnus and build from the wreckage of the old life a new, whole person he might inhabit. But reconstructing himself is more costly than he expects. In a daze of guilt, panic and grief, Dr. Lemnus wanders the City's tangled neighbourhoods-Stardale, Blacktrack, On-The-North, the Floating Bazaar-trying to find the person he might be, the person he might always have been.
