Originally published in Asimov's Science Fiction, Terry Bisson's three Wilson Wu and Irving novelettes are collected here, including the Hugo-nominated "Get Me to the Church on Time." Wilson's been a rock musician, an engineer, and a pastry chef; he graduated law school and passed the bar on the first try. Drawn into adventure by his best friend Irv, another lawyer with a talent for stumbling on strange phenomena, Wilson crunches the numbers. Together they find a Volvo junkyard that conceals a rift in the space-time continuum and a beaded seat cushion that heralds the premature collapse of the universe. And when an airport baggage claim works like clockwork . . . ? (Shudder.) Check out the math—Bisson has scrupulously illustrated the stories with formulas, all of which have been reviewed for "elegance" by famed mathematician Rudy Rucker—and discover for yourself that Numbers Don't Lie.
