Burial Detail — Kristine Kathryn Rusch

The battle ended ten months ago, the war ended two weeks ago, and still the battleground remains a dangerous place -- at least for one man. A man who sees everything, and can say nothing. A man no one else notices. A man who must bury the dead in order to remain among the living.

“Like early Ray Bradbury, Rusch has the ability to switch on a universal dark.”
