The Doppelganger Song
Holly Ambrose, a beautiful and accomplished psychiatrist with a string of degrees as long as her arm, and Frank Zhelikhovsky, a Desert Storm vet and rock solid security consultant have been together for 11 years but lately their relationship has thinned. Professionally their individual consulting practices are flat, and personally they spend more time apart than together. Both possessed of a degree of skepticism they now find themselves cast in the roles of paranormal detectives.
Teacher Emma Ward went out the fourth floor window of the Gracewynne School, a private girls’ academy in the Bronx. Did she attempt suicide or was she pushed? Holly and Frank have been called in to investigate the incident and the situation. In the course of their investigation they encounter what seems to be a shape-shifter or doppelganger.
They find Emma in a hospital bed seriously injured, where she tells them her sad story, about how her desperation for even the shallowest love led to Scott, a city assistant prosecutor. She’s now sure he only dated her to get information on the school, either for a criminal investigation, for an extortion plan, or for both.
Frank and Holly take the case and soon discover that all is not right at the Gracewynne School, but their relationship may not survive long enough for them to root out the truth.

Small adjustment of focus but not really a big change, just adapting to ever-evolving virtual weather conditions. The winds of the interwebs are shifting. But we’re not going away, so all you loyal fans – especially you Cabot, Arkansas – can keep checking in. The Kite Facebook page for Kite: A Novel in Earth Orbit has become the primary outlet for space and Earth orbit and science fiction news and commentary. It’s open to everyone so please feel free to join. You’ll continue to see posts from there in real time in the right sidebar here as well.
Shifting that topic out is surrendipitous, since the experts advise your main site have a specific focus. We will continue to post our famous in-depth game reviews here and InfinityBound is still well-situated for when we finally pull the trigger on a publishing venture.
We will be striving to contribute smaller posts more in real time, mostly in the form of tips on the titles we’re looking at, old stand-bys that continue to take up our time, gaming news and commentary and perhaps previews of the reviews on which we are working. Next review should be Acgtunh Panzer: Kharkov 1943 by Paradox.
And of course, movies and writing. Well, so much for a specific focus.
Cheers!
InfinityBound has a new theme. Yes, we’ll still be into Science Fiction, Earth Orbit, Storytelling and Gaming. In fact you’ll see those main topics as easy-to-spot main categories. It’ll all look just a little different, based on the Arthemia magazine-style Wordpress theme. Thanks to ever-chic Mrs. Shears for spotting it.
This is all in antiicipation of our first release. Kite, the the humorous science fiction novel set in Earth orbit. You can see the first take on an ad for Kite in the upper right.
Enjoy. And stay tuned.
A breakthrough announced in the past few days. A state of information was passed from one atom to another some distance away. I’ll leave the clichès about science fiction becoming science fact to the scribblers in the legacy media. But the implications of this are more significant than can be imagined. There will be many more applications for this phenomenon prior to any Star Trek Transporter. How can two atoms share changes while separated by any distance? The process has yet to be discovered. Even the smartest man who ever lived threw up his hands. On the one hand, it would be easy to attribute some kind of physical mechanism to it. On the other, it would be hard even for a cold-minded scientist not to ponder some sort of METAphysical aspect to it. Think about radio waves. Think if you have a receiver and a transmitter and didn’t know that there were waves carrying signals between. It would be just as mysterious. But we know that radio waves are not magic, don’t we? If we care to think about it we do. But think of the uncounted masses out there who couldn’t care less about the relatively simple concepts that power the radios that bring them their Mariah Carey and TVs that bring them their WWF matches. Now think of the uncountable increase in the uncounted masses that will not care to think about how quantum computing and whatever it will bring works.
It is not this simple, we’re sure, but if it’s not a step into INFINITY we don’t know what is. Think of everything in the world that runs on silicon chips. Then increase their efficiency a near infinite amount. What will it mean for computing and everything that goes along with it? Think what it’ll mean for communications, for weaponry, for entertainment. Think of all the computing power that currently exists in the word, and then put it all in a device the size of a flash drive that you can buy at Radio Shack. Come to think of it, the people who conjure up how to apply the new technologies to do way with Radio Shacks once and for all will likely be the next generation of Quantum Billionaires. Hey, if you’re out there drop me a line.
We may have been present during the first step to infinity on Earth.
