Summary
Twenty years after Peter Nureyev stuck a knife in the back of the thief who raised him in order to save a city full of people, he gets a call from an unknown number. He recognizes the voice on the line almost immediately: it’s Mag, the very man he murdered two decades ago. He’s alive, and he wants to see Nureyev again.
But what are Mag’s intentions? How did he survive Nureyev's killing strike? And what will Juno think, when he gets back from his week-long undercover mission to find the man who’d deceived and manipulated his boyfriend living happily aboard the Carte Blanche?

“My grandmother taught me about selkies,” said the tattooed man. “Said it’s good luck for them to grace your ship. To treat ‘em right, and they’ll guide you safe.”
It had seemed like a reasonable thing to believe.

Summary
When Jon is killed, ending his role as ruler of his apocalyptic terror-filled world, he wakes up several years in the past. At first, he sees it as a chance to make things better. To fix them. To undo all his poor decisions and foolish, half-informed choices. To make amends, even at the cost of his own life.
Except that he can’t. If there’s one thing Jon has learned from destroying the world and ruling over it, it’s that he has never had the power to improve anyone’s life. There’s really no point in trying. Besides, in a world where dying just means waking up some random evening in 2015, why not selfishly spend some time making things better for yourself? Ignore the existential futility and grab what happiness is possible. Or spend a few lives getting petty revenge. When nothing matters, what else is there to do but whatever you want?
If only Jon were capable of being that simple.

Summary
"Jon did not fit here, Elias noted without sentiment. Everything in the flat was elegant, pristine, sharp; Jon was none of that – or rather he could have been, but the potential was buried under a fluttery mess of emotions and chaotic thoughts that overwhelmed him on a regular basis."
A few months after hiring Jonathan Sims, Elias takes the liberty to invite him to his flat.
