Three days. One hill called the Heroes. Two armies trying to take it. Abercrombie compresses an entire war into a single brutal engagement, following soldiers on both sides as they fight, scheme, and die.

Griffin, a scientist who has discovered how to render himself invisible, arrives at a village inn in bandages and dark glasses — and rapidly descends from scientific triumph into paranoia and violence.

Edward Prendick, shipwrecked and rescued, finds himself on a remote Pacific island where the reclusive Dr Moreau performs surgical experiments that transform animals into humanoid creatures who speak and live by a recited Law.

Henry Fleming, a young Union soldier, flees from his first battle and spends a day wrestling with cowardice and shame before returning to fight.
