David Rubin

From visionary storyteller David Rubín (Cosmic Detective, The Hero), El Fuego is a psychological, philosophical, and geographical odyssey through the last remaining days of planet Earth. It is the story of one particular inhabitant, who must decide how much more of himself to give to the greater good before truly finding peace within. A mass-extinction event is imminent as a giant meteorite is hurtling toward the Earth. Renowned architect Alexander Yorba, entrusted to design a citadel on the Moon which would ensure the survival of humanity, is diagnosed with a terminal illness. Thrust into an existential crisis, Alexander begins to question the validity of his successes, having colluded with the world’s elite to spare only the wealthiest members of society, and grapples with what it means to be a decent person in a decaying world. His spiritual and moral journey will take him from the Moon to Madrid, by way of New York, Helsinki, Amsterdam, and Rome, where he will have to confront his past choices with those who were his greatest influences, in hopes of finding his way . . . before the end comes.

"It hadn't changed, this Indian night world, and it remained indescribable to anyone who hadn't lived in it. Because to be here, in it, you felt different, you were different. Different things were important, like now, something dense and engulfing in the night, an overwhelming aloneness you couldn't decide was ecstatic or terrifying." These words were left behind by David Rubin for the back cover of one of his final unpublished manuscripts. In On Indian Time we return to the mythical Indian city of Gauhar, where Tony Archer has been assigned to work as an American diplomat. Only Archer was born in Gauhar and knows the territory and people-natives and a host of European expats-all too well. In this gripping tale of political corruption, romance, social strife, and mystery, Archer also becomes trapped by the enticing lore the city holds in his own quest for self-realization-a quest he's not sure he's up to taking.

While pursuing his degree, Joe Wheelwright decides to dabble in astrology to make extra cash.

What follows is an insider's gaze at the intelligentsia of mid-20th century New York City - their feet anchored in brick and pavement while their minds spin with Eastern mysticism. David Rubin brilliantly dissects the paradoxes of human nature in a comic adventure in which everyone fancies one another while no one trusts a soul. Propelled by sex, secrets, musical compulsions and occult yearnings, they remind the reader that all humans carry contradictions the stars themselves can't untangle.

Stella Hennessey took over operations when her gambling husband disappeared, relying on the income of a cast of characters that summer in this out-of-the-way enclave. That is, until Frank Dallary finds himself on the run after a failed coup and in need of a hideout. Only this is a calculated move: Frank's long-lost, unsuspecting nephew, Robert, works for Stella.
