Just what the heck *is* a Tachyon anyway?
A tachyon (tack-ee-on; from the Greek tachus meaning speedy) is a hypothetical elementary subatomic particle with imaginary mass that is capable of exceeding the speed of light. Tachyons would violate causality if they were proven to exist, because they could be sent to the past, creating a time paradox (you know, like on every other episode of Star Trek). This would mean that events could happen in opposite time frames. This is how we meet our deadlines here at Tachyon - first we miss them and then we go back and meet them. Tachyons actually travel faster when they are losing energy and slow down when they are gaining energy, which is kind of a metaphor for the publishing industry, if you think about it (we try not to, though).

I think your books are amazing. How can I buy a complete set of Tachyon titles?
You'd be amazed at how often we get this question. To order from Tachyon directly, from this very website, please go to our books page.
