This is a short story collection. Some of the work in here went on to form part of other work. In this case, the Greatwinter book Souls In the Great Machine, and also The Centurion's Empire. "Eyes" and "Destroyer" in the case of the former, and "The Deciad" and "Pax Romana" for the latter. So, there is an early look at these stories for particular fans of that work, plus some other interesting things as well.


A pair of elderly twins have lost music by a famous composer, but in a bizarre format that needs a technological tweak. With this work, comes a new musical find.
