Greg Egan is some kind of enigmatic, sci-fi literary genius. I don't remember the last time I encountered a short-story that was so intensely gripping where it felt like I needed to catch my breath after reaching the final sentence. "The Infinite Assassin" is a non-stop, adrenaline pumping, high-octane cyberpunk thriller! It is a masterclass in storytelling and impeccable narrative pacing. Devoid of any extraneous details, the writing is so tightly polished with a mind-bending plot that is utterly fascinating while leaving you on the edge of your seat the entire way through.
As hinted by the title, the protagonist is a time traveling assassin. He works for "The Company" and has been tasked with tracking down a cult using a highly powerful drug called "S" that can alter realities. Get ready to embark on a thrilling ride through multiple dimensions, parallel worlds, alter-egos, shifting universes, time-traveling paradoxes, cults, and a myriad of cyberpunk coolness all intricately woven into a riveting narrative. Greg Egan fuses hard-science fiction with masterful storytelling techniques, yielding a dazzling spectacle of imagination that crescendos to an ending that will surely knock your socks off.
