In this slim novel Terry Bisson brings together three shorter works originally published in Asimov's in 1994, 1996, and 1998. A reprint of an electronic version of all three under one virtual cover, Numbers Don't Lie tells the over-arching tale of Wilson Wu and his Watson-like friend Irving. Irving's story is one of losing and then gaining a spouse; Wu's tale involves the moon and a few pages of formulae that Rudy Rucker checked for accuracy and elegance, finding "one is more important than the other."
