Edge by Koji Suzuki
Trade Paperback.
WINNER OF THE SHIRLEY JACKSON AWARD
Now in paperback! The author of the Ring trilogy that spawned blockbuster movies on both sides of the Pacific presents a new level of terror with an apocalyptic work that casts the very earth and skies into doubt.
When a team of American scientists tests new computer hardware by calculating the value of pi into the deep decimals, the figures begin to repeat a pattern where there ought to be none. It's mathematically untenable--unless the physical constants that undergird our universe have altered, ever so slightly...
A cascade of missing persons reports, far from being supernatural, threatens to be perfectly natural--a profound disturbance in being itself--and explodes into a mind trip of a crescendo in this tale of quantum horror.
Koji Suzuki, born in 1957, held numerous odd jobs after college including a stint as a tutor. The father of two daughters, he's also known in his native Japan for his guides on child rearing, an expertise he acquired as a struggling writer and househusband. Edge is his eighth work to appear in English.
