Alembical 2 Hardcover - 2010
by Arthur Dorrance (Editor); Lawrence M. Schoen (Editor)
From the publisher
The second volume in small press Paper Golem's anthology series showcasing original novellas from some of SF/F's best! "Schoen and Dorrance have found three authors who nail it perfectly." -Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A hat trick of delightful stories from Pi, Levine, and Cheney. A three-pack of novella goodness. A menage a trois of... um... well, let's just say all three stories were engaging, original, and a pleasure to read." -Jim C. Hines, author of THE MERMAID'S MADNESS "From Pi's shapeshifting antiquities thief in modern London, to Levine's far-future astronaut clone who finds himself paying for sins he doesn't remember committing, to Cheney's fair folk in turn of the century Saratoga Springs, each novella portrays a complete and well-realized world, with engaging characters and great story-telling." -Martha Wells, author of The Fall of Ile-Rien trilogy "These authors take on the challenging form of the novella with panache, delivering tightly-structured stories that, while ranging from hard science to pure fantasy, demonstrate the same skill at capturing the reader's imagination from the very first paragraph." -Alison Baird, author of THE DRAGON THRONE "Reading the novellas is like sitting down with a great big ice cream sundae. This book offers three excellent flavors of high adventure-good for the spirit, good for the mind. Pi, Levine, and Cheney each serve up their own unique, satisfying tales of sf/f." -Jeff Carlson, author of PLAGUE ZONE "Prepare to be drawn in, prepare to be amazed, and prepare to meet characters as unforgettable as their settings. A remarkable collection!" -Julie E. Czerneda, author of The Clan Chronicles "Pi, Levine, and Cheney write with assured grace and reward the reader with fine storytelling." -Patrice Sarath, author of GORDATH WOOD and RED GOLD BRIDGE "The novella hits its stride in ALEMBICAL 2, which offers engrossing tales from three powerful writing talents. A must-read for any lover of speculative fiction." -Rebecca Moesta, New York Times bestselling author "Fresh and innovative" -Violette Malan, author of THE STORM WITCH
