“Reynold was quite the unparalleled inventor, creator, and scientific mind of our time. This is the story of Reynold’s wife, and my dear friend, Patricia.” Phillip has always been a little in awe of his brother, Reynold – the genius behind ThinkBulb, the invention that changed the world. When he receives a distraught call from his sister-in-law, Patricia, to say that Reynold is dead, he doesn’t hesitate in dashing to her side. Little does he imagine the tragedy and horror that awaits, as he uncovers what really happened to his brother – and where Reynold's latest obsession has led. Acclaimed author Aliya Whiteley has been a finalist for the Arthur C. Clarke Award (twice), as well as the BSFA, the British Fantasy, the Tiptree/Otherwise and the Campbell Awards. In The Creator, she delivers a mini-masterpiece of sumptuously crafted fiction; a murder mystery (perhaps) with a whiff of science gone awry and a subtext of terror; a tale that pays homage to a by-gone era of country estates and gentlemen’s clubs plus a nod towards a classic Hollywood movie. Pure entertainment from first page to last.
