When the moon gets too close and too bright, it makes us crazy. Loony, even. In that spirit, editor Lancelot Schaubert rounded up sci-fi and fantasy writers to write about cosmic influence. The fantasy writers took a more mythological approach, speaking of the symbolic (or perhaps godly) Mercury and Mars and Neptune. The sci-fi writers tell you what it's like to live on Jupiter and Uranus. All of them, though, speak of the influence of what one writer called "the music of the spheres." These are stories OF GODS AND GLOBES. They're quite the ride: they made the editor laugh and cry and chilled him to the bone with terror. And one of the stories made him long for a home that... well for a home he doesn't think he's ever been to before.Grab your copy now.PRAISE FOR THE AUTHORS ::"As in all her books, Juliet Marillier shows the strength and power that women can control regardless of their place in the world or society in which they are born." -- TOR"Cohen has real talent with character development and interaction and prickly, defensive, sympathetic heroins."-- Book Life"I thought [Anne Greenwood Brown's] was an interesting, fun read and I'm curious to see how the rest of the series progresses." -- Cuddle Buggery"Schaubert's words have an immediacy, a potency, an intimacy that grab the reader by the collar and say 'Listen, this is important!' Probing the bones and gristle of humanity, Lancelot's subjects challenge, but also offer insights into redemption if only we will stop and pay attention."-- Erika Robuck, National Bestselling Author of Hemingway's Girl

A Cosmic Anthology

Of Gods and Globes

It's been ten years since the fire beast last attacked Kilbo, a small, coastal viking village. Hosperan, the young chief-to-be, must try his best to suppress the memories from the last time the beast attacked, when it killed the chief...Hosperan's father. Now, Hosperan must figure out how to manage his conflicting beliefs about why the fire beast exists and what he should do about it. With the village against him, Hosperan turns to his deceased father's legacy to guide him. The Rose Weapon is a coming of age story that uses the hero's journey framework to explore the difference between having radical ideas, and acting on those radical ideas.
