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.
