John C. Wright burst upon the SF scene a decade ago with the Golden Age trilogy, an innovative space opera. He went on to write fantasy novels, including the popular Orphans of Chaos trilogy. And now he returns to space opera in Count to a Trillion.

After the collapse of the world economy, a young boy grows up in what used to be Texas as a tough duellist for hire, the future equivalent of a hired gun. But even after the collapse, there is space travel, and he leaves Earth to have adventures in the really wide open spaces. But he is quickly catapulted into the more distant future, while humanity, and Artificial Intelligence, grows and changes and becomes a kind of superman.

COUNT TO A TRILLION (Chapter 1)

Intelligence Augmentation

A.D. 2235

1. Bone Rongeur

Menelaus could not help but pause to inspect the bore of the bone-needle as he was raising it to a point slightly above and between his eyes. It was like looking down the muzzle of a loaded pistol.

He found that thought comforting.

2. Sailing Vessel

Menelaus I. Montrose was a young, brilliant, angry man of calendar age twenty-five, biological twenty-four, having previously spent more than half a year in suspension, while his family raised money for a surgeon.

Praise for Count to a Trillion

Praise for John C. Wright

“Wright is a born novelist. And Null-A Continuum is a novelist’s novel, bristling with ideas and characters…. Wright’s book is an erudite homage to the pulp tradition by a twenty-first century master.”  —The Magazine of Fantasy & Sciencen Fiction

“Wright’s fully realized future pulsates with life, intrigue, and unsettling correlations between his future and our present. The story is epic, operatic, heroic, romantic, and mythic all rolled into one.”
—Rain Taxi on The Phoenix Exult ant

“[There are] scientists and artists who dare to dream of post-human futures…Cory Doctorow, Bruce Sterling, Greg Egan, Rudy Rucker—these are just the first names that come most quickly to mind. Add to this list of brave visionaries that of John Wright.”
—SciFi Weekly on The Phoenix Exultant
