What happens when you put a compulsive gambler newly diagnosed with epilepsy, a renegade spy/assassin, a newly released schizophrenic who?s off his drugs, a mad scientist, a Russian mob trying to get their money back, a Korean gang trying to get even for a deal gone bad, a dying child, a love-struck grad student letting her professor use her as a human guinea pig, an about to be fired scientist who needs a paper worthy of the Novel prize, and a new twist on Jung?s collective unconscious as a supercomputer figuring the odds? Well, if you?re really lucky you get Improbable, a first novel, by Adam Fawer.
