Publisher's summary

Gennady’s an expert on nukes, so when the Interpol man hires him to track some stolen plutonium, it seems like business as usual. Except for this: All signs lead to – a place that doesn’t exist.

This story was originally published in the Hugo Award-nominated METAtropolis. It was also selected for inclusion in Twenty-First Century Science Fiction, edited by David G. Hartwell and Patrick Nielsen Hayden.

Hard Sci Fi & Difficult

This is some of the best, most innovative science fiction I've experienced in a long time.
The narrator hasn't lost his touch - superb as always.
The shear scope for the imagination is cosmic, even though though the story is set on a still planet-bound Earth, and only just within the next few decades.
