East Coast Crisis (V #2)
by Howard Weinstein A. C. CrispinThe afternoon began as usual on that crisp mid-October day. Major leaguer Pete Forsythe fielded baseballs at Yankee Stadium. Mayor Daniel O'Connor dedicated the new reptile building at the Bronx Zoo. U.S. President William Brent Morrow, following his doctor's orders, napped contentedly. CBS news anchorwoman Denise Daltrey prepared for an afternoon tennis match. United Nations diplomat Lauren Stewart visited with her father in his Harlem home. Until they sensed its presence... felt the vibrations rattling the earth beneath them ... heard the strange hum intensifying into a loud throbbing that emanated from everywhere at once... saw it, the glimmering massive round vessel drifting above them.

East of Laughter
by R. A. LaffertyThere have always been the Twenty One Pillars of Rectitude who sustain the World: Seven Saints to insure the sanity of the world; Seven Technicians to insure its correct mechanical working; and Seven Scribbling Giants to write its scenarios and histories. The Saints and Technicians were always in plentiful supply. But not so the Scribbling Giants.So when Atrox Fabulinus, the greatest of the Scribbling Giants, was most foully murdered with his own nine-foot-long goose feather quill, the World staggered with the collapse of its most sustaining pillar. Then the remaining Scribbling Giants (all of them very old and tired) cried out for replacements so they could go to their restful deaths.This is the story of how the World, at the uneven changing of its supporting pillars, staggered and reeled.It is also the story of the Group of Twelve, an Group remarkable for its creativity and elegance, and how it set out to sustain the World in its new days of tottering terror.Whether the Group will be successful, indeed whether they have been successful, remains to be answered on the ninth day of the week, east of Laughter.

Eastern Standard Tribe
by Cory DoctorowA comedy of loyalty, betrayal, sex, madness, and music-swapping Art is an up-and-coming interface designer, working on the management of data flow along the Massachusetts Turnpike. He's doing the best work of his career and can guarantee that the system will be, without a question, the most counterintuitive, user-hostile piece of software ever pushed forth onto the world. Why? Because Art is an industrial saboteur. He may live in London and work for an EU telecommunications megacorp, but Art's real home is the Eastern Standard Tribe. Instant wireless communication puts everyone in touch with everyone else, twenty-four hours a day. But one thing hasn't changed: the need for sleep. The world is slowly splintering into Tribes held together by a common time zone, less than family and more than nations. Art is working to humiliate the Greenwich Mean Tribe to the benefit of his own people. But in a world without boundaries, nothing can be taken for granted-not happiness, not money, and most certainly not love. Which might explain why Art finds himself stranded on the roof of an insane asylum outside Boston, debating whether to push a pencil into his brain. .
