Summary

"Paul Preuss has done a fine thing. He has written a magnificent book in BROKEN SYMMETRIES. I admire his knowledge and artistry." —Roger Zelazny  BROKEN SYMMETRIES introduces theoretical physicist Peter Slater and world-traveling photojournalist Anne-Marie Brand. They meet in Hawaii, where Anne-Marie is in pursuit of a story about the giant atom-smasher TERAC, the newest and biggest particle accelerator in the world, built amidst the pineapple fields of Oahu. Dr. Martin Edovich is the triumphant scientist behind the project—he claims that "his" discovery of I-particles will win him the Nobel Prize and change the face of physics.  But Peter Slater predicted the existence of I-particles long ago and suspects that they are unstable—explosive and potentially cataclysmic.  And as TERAC ramps up, Slater’s theory is about to be tested.  The symmetries of matter itself are about to be unexpectedly broken, unleashing the fury of self-annihilation...

    A rookie cop. A team of supernatural detectives. A power hungry witch on a killing spree.  
    My name is Cat McKenzie, and I’m in over my damn head.  
    I’d finally come to grips with the fact that not all supernaturals are a**holes when the witch downstairs is murdered and I’m rescued from certain death by the fae assassin responsible for revealing the existence of supernaturals to humans six months ago. 
    That’s not the best bit though. 
    Said fae wants me and my partner to look into the death of his niece, and he made us an offer we can’t refuse… just like in a bad mob movie. 
    Zombie cyclops, magical artifacts and a growing headache, all I want to do is get into my fuzzy unicorn pajamas and crawl into bed. Like hell that’s going to happen anytime soon.
