Journeys Beyond the Fantastical Horizon

Donald Ekpeki Oghenechovwe

Andrea G. Stewart

Whether it's science fiction stories about wars among the stars, sentient starships or symbiotic aliens, or fantasy tales filled with paper-construct humans or anxiety-ridden monsters, Galaxy's Edge magazine has published some the best the genre has to offer for the past ten years. This remarkable anthology includes fiction from some of the hottest up-and-coming writers like Oghenechovwe Donald Ekpeki, Andrea Stewart, and Marina J. Lostetter, as well as stories from veteran stalwarts of the genre like Katherine Kerr and Michael Swanwick. The magazine was created and originally edited by the incomparable Mike Resnick (five Hugo awards), and is now edited by the award-winning writer, Lezli Robyn. Our authors come from many different walks of life, but there is only one requirement necessary for inclusion in The Best of Galaxy's Edge: the ability to write one hell of a story. These stories will entertain you, leave you astonished, and make you think. But most of all, they will show you the beauty of the human imagination.

Among these nine new stories by "the resident Weird Mind of his generation" ("Washington Post Book World") are such diverse gems as "Occam's Ducks", "Flatfeet!", "The Sawing Boys", and "El Castillo de la Perseverancia".

"Wild Cards is the first novel in the Wild Cards series edited by George R.R. Martin. It was first published in 1987 and was nominated for a Hugo Award in the following year. The [original] novel contains ten short stories introducing the Wild Cards universe: an alternate Earth history in which an alien virus is released over the skies of New York City in 1946, transforming a few individuals into superhuman aces, and mutating many more into monstrous jokers. Applying unrelenting realism into superhero traditions, the novel imagines an altered 20th century in which superhumans interact with historical events. Besides the ten stories, there are also several interludes written by Martin, mimicking real newspaper articles, book excerpts, or magazine retrospectives presented in a in-world style."--Wild Cards Wiki.

O começo de tudo

The Texas-Israeli War 1999

First paperback edition of a landmark collection of maverick science fiction.

The new short story collection from Nebula Award-winner Howard Waldrop. This collection of bizarre journeys of the imagination includes stops in Texas, where invading Martians find an Alamo of their very own; and New Jersey, where Herbert Hoover loses the election, takes to the airwaves, and changes the course of history.

The words "inimitable" and "unique" are bandied about too often in artistic circles, so much so that critics seem to have forgotten those words were invented to describe Howard Waldrop's fiction. Waldrop's mastery of arcane knowledge, his transcendent wit, and the way his stories explode like cheerty bombs inside a reader's mind have all made Howard Waldrop one of the most beloved writers of the past two decades. Readers who encounter his work never forget the experience, and this new collection compiles nine such experiences (heretofore uncollected), including: "Flatfeet!", a madcap tour of this century's first decades, courtesy of the Keystone Kops. "Ocean's Ducks," an homage to those brave black actors of the 1930s. Remember those "Little Moron" jokes in the schoolyard, like "Why did the Little Moron throw the clock out the window?" "He wanted to see Time fly." Now ask yourself again "Why Did?" And beware the masked Mexican wrestlers of "El Castillo de la Perserverancia"! Howard Waldrop's unique and inimitable talents are on full display here. Read on, marvel, and rejoice.
