Echoes of Hush and Solace

Five tales of imagination and wonder from the imagination of professional writer and working scientist Ken Hinckley... From a bereaved man's extraordinary love and unfathomable loss to the future of what it means to be human... a death-defying plunge into the vast hell-forges of Jupiter on a quest for redemption... and an occult jaunt through time to the white sands of the Trinity Atomic Test Site in search of solace, this collection of stories shines new light on the paradox of the human condition. Includes the stories "Between Grief and Remembrance," "Bilking Time,""Great Red," "Feathers of Frost, Feathers of Flame," and "The Sensei of Dandelions Hushed." From the author of the acclaimed story The Totem of Curtained Minds, now available in Fiction River, and The Ostracons of Europa, first published in Nature magazine and featured as the editors' favorite story of July 2013 in the Nature podcast. About the Author: Ken Hinckley resides in the Seattle area with his wife and children. His fiction appears in professional markets including Nature, Penumbra, and Fiction River, and his research career spans some 80 scientific papers and 150 patents (and counting).
