After a prison riot, two journalists find that a high profile inmate has gone missing. During their investigation, they discover a tangled web of kidnapping, espionage, and murder. Meanwhile, a protest group struggles against a shadowy agency with designs on the missing inmate. And the inmate himself has not only broken free from prison, but from a single universe, simultaneously experiencing multiple versions of his life.This Complete Omnibus Edition collects the nine novellas in the I AM MERCURY series, a unique and imaginative set of stories that converge in a dramatic confrontation. A detective story, a spy thriller, a science fiction adventure, or a protest drama—the series could be any of these things, but as a whole is so much more.
