      Poté, co novinářka Joanna Crossová odhalí skupinu podvodných spiritistů, zaujme ji psychologovo tvrzení, že paranormální jevy přece jen existují, a přijme jeho nabídku zúčastnit se vědeckého experimentu, jehož účelem má být „vytvořit" ducha. Se šesti dalšími dobrovolníky přivedou k životu Adama Wyatta, mladého Američana žijícího ve francii po americké válce za nezávislost, který se stýkal s mystiky a s velkými osobnostmi konce osmnáctého století a posléze tragicky zemřel během Francouzské revoluce. Experiment je úspěšný: podaří se vědecky zaznamenat činnost typickou pro poltergeisty i vzkazy ze záhrobí. Psychologova teorie se zdá být přesvědčivá - podle ní duchy vytvářejí lidé, kteří je vidí. Avšak po sérii nevysvětlitelných a neblahých událostí si zúčastnění uvědomují, že duch, kterého obdařili životem, může též způsobit smrt...

    • Rick Hamilton má nádherný život: skvělé zaměstnání, báječného syna a krásnou manželku. Až si jednoho dne uprostřed důležité obchodní schůzky začne čmárat na papír - a zchvátí ho mrazivá předtucha, že jeho žena zemře při autonehodě. Poté, co se přiřítí na inkriminované místo, musí čelit ještě mnohem děsivější pravdě. V troskách totiž leží nikoli auto jeho ženy, ale jeho vlastní. Šaty si ušpiní od krve - jsou to však jiné šaty, než které měl na sobě při oné schůzce. Je tam i jeho žena a je naživu, ale proč ho celá uslzená oslovuje Richarde? A proč popírá, že by měli syna? Rick Hamilton je uvězněn v paralelním vesmíru. Jeho život je všechno, jen ne nádherný...... celý text

'It was some moments before Charlie turned his gaze back to Control. When he did, there were tears in his eyes. What have you done?' Something that evolution wouldn't have accomplished in a million years, left to itself, Control replied calmly. You're custom-built, Charlie, a hero for our time...'

In a world where even virtual reality is controlled, that is the most dangerous knowledge of all. Can she trust those she works for, or should she take the greatest risk and trust Charlie?

      A wrong number here, a case of mistaken identity there, a chance meeting with a stranger who knows your best friend. Most people dismiss such things as trivial, unimportant. Mere coincidence. Or could there be a hidden pattern in these seemingly random events? George Daly's life has been as unremarkable as most people's, until the day he finds himself going through his dead father's possessions. He discovers a photograph of himself as a boy, but he has no memory of where it was taken, nor does he recognize the people with him. As he investigates further, he experiences an increasingly bizarre chain of coincidences that soon threaten to unravel his whole world. Before long he finds himself fighting for his sanity and even his survival.
