Krátky popis
Aurora Award Finalist story from a multi-award winning author. The
House promised Jack wealth, fame, and revenge...if it didn’t kill
him first.~~~Dr. Lucius Rainer, head of research at GenTech, is
dead. But to Jack, it seems that his old mentor still lives on
through his house. Certainly, Rainer’s strange island retreat
exudes the personality of its late owner: isolated and eccentric,
brooding and uninviting. But when GenTech learns that the house
holds a working model of Rainer’s final project, Jack discovers
that the house shares one other trait with its former
owner.Dangerous.The house will open only to Jack’s biometrics, and
will only allow two very specific people to accompany him: Wendy,
Jack’s now ex-wife, and Deak Sanderson, Wendy’s new lover and
Jack’s former rival at GenTech. As the three of them explore the
house and its secrets, Jack discovers that some doors—in this house
and in life—should never be opened.“A couple months ago I was
introduced to Douglas Smith by way of his collected short stories,
Impossibilia. So I was looking forward to his story 'Doorways' and
was not disappointed. ... This story has a cunningly satisfying
conclusion. I find a good short story falls into two categories:
There is the complete story, the novel miniaturised, which is a
nearly perfect art form. These are hard to capture but constantly
illustrated by such writers as Douglas Smith.” —SF Crowsnest Book
Reviews“…is based on an interesting concept … The puzzles [in the
story] and the final invention that they hint at are intriguing …
Smith ties [the story's] denouement’s metaphorical significance in
well with the technological concept at the center of the plot.”
—The Fix
