Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wizard's work is never done! For Kedrigern, though, wizardry has been a rewarding profession. The hours are unpredictable and far too much travel is required, but it provides the chance to exercise talents usefully and meet interesting people. The pay is good, and dependable-no one stiffs a wizard. For Princess, wizardry is a new experience. Her life has not been easy: Long years hunkered down small and green on a lily pad in a swamp at an age when a lovely young lady prefers to be taking her place in polite society had been followed by a rapid succession of disenchantments and re-enchantments and re-disenchantments, despellings and respellings and re-despellings. Unknown to her, these awkward and uncomfortable years have revealed a latent talent for magic. And she also acquired a very handy pair of wings in the process! Join Kedrigern, Princess, their friends, colleagues, clients and adversaries, as well as an array of colorful characters (talking spiders, talking mirrors, talking dragons, and talking swords among them) in this second collection of complete novels and short stories, presented in reading order.

Book excerpt: "Kedrigern. No quester he: counterspell expert, lazy homebody, and cheerful coward, he's got no business chasing about in the muck after a monster. And a true monster; no less--a swamp thing who snacks on heroes and feasts on dragonslayers... and craves a wizardly dessert. But promised a fat purse of gold--and assisted by an enchanted huntsman, an overgrown bee (really an undergrown wizard caught in the cross fire between rival spellcasters), and a cowardly prince--the disgruntled Kedrigern quests away. So it's off to Moodymount--a nasty place afflicted with an altogether unpleasant creature. On the whole, the wizard would rather be home roasting his toes on the hearth. But a phantom princess and a loathly monster have other plans for Kedrigern..."--Pg. [4] of cover.

Download or read book Science Fiction Rebels the Story of the Science Fiction Magazines from 1981 To 1990 written by Mike Ashley and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-29 with total page 495 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mike Ashley's acclaimed history of science-fiction magazines comes to the 1980s with Science-Fiction Rebels: The Story of the Science Fiction Magazines from 1981 to 1990. This volume charts a significant revolution throughout science fiction, much of which was driven by the alternative press, and by new editors at the leading magazines. The period saw the emergence of the cyberpunk movement, and the drive for, what David Hartwell called, 'The Hard SF Renaissance', which was driven from within Britain. Ashley plots the rise of many new authors in both strands: William Gibson, John Shirley, Bruce Sterling, John Kessel, Pat Cadigan, Rudy Rucker in cyberpunk, and Stephen Baxter, Alistair Reynolds, Peter Hamilton, Neal Asher, Robert Reed, in hard sf. He also shows how the alternative magazines looked to support each other through alliances, which allowed them to share and develop ideas as science-fiction evolved.

Download or read book Ursula K Le Guin Conversations on Writing written by Ursula K. Le Guin and published by Tin House Books. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ursula K. Le Guin discusses her fiction, nonfiction, and poetry?both her process and her philosophy?with all the wisdom, profundity, and rigor we expect from one of the great writers of the last century. When the New York Times referred to Ursula K. Le Guin as America’s greatest writer of science fiction, they just might have undersold her legacy. It’s hard to look at her vast body of work?novels and stories across multiple genres, poems, translations, essays, speeches, and criticism?and see anything but one of our greatest writers, period. In a series of interviews with David Naimon (Between the Covers), Le Guin discusses craft, aesthetics, and philosophy in her fiction, poetry, and nonfiction respectively. The discussions provide ample advice and guidance for writers of every level, but also give Le Guin a chance to to sound off on some of her favorite subjects: the genre wars, the patriarchy, the natural world, and what, in her opinion, makes for great writing. With excerpts from her own books and those that she looked to for inspiration, this volume is a treat for Le Guin’s longtime readers, a perfect introduction for those first approaching her writing, and a tribute to her incredible life and work.
