Phoenix Pick Novella Bundle Number 1
(2013)An omnibus of novels by Carolyn Ives Gilman, Jay Lake and Mike Resnick
This bundle combines three great novellas by master story-tellers, each an award nominee (combined, they were nominated for three Nebulas and two Hugos).
In Arkfall, humans live deep within an apparently lifeless planet covered by massive ice sheets. Having to survive in confined spaces has bred a unique culture where deference and non-confrontation make co-existence possible.
Osaji's opportunities are limited by the need to care for her aging grandmother. But all that is about to change as circumstances push her toward a journey like no other. (Nominated for the Nebula Award)
In March 1909, Theodore Roosevelt went on a safari to central Africa. In this fictionalized account of that trip, Mike Resnick takes us on an amusing "what-if" with Roosevelt deciding to "liberate" the native Africans from Belgian rule and to set up a model democratic state in the heart of Africa.
Mike Renick revisits Africa in 1909 with an extraordinary tale of 'what-if' structured around Theodore Roosevelt's actual visit to that continent. In this fictionalized account of that trip, the author takes us on a "what-if" with Roosevelt deciding to "liberate" the native Africans from Belgian rule and to set up a model democratic state in the heart of Africa. (Nominated for the Nebula and Hugo awards)
Jay Lakes critically acclaimed novella revisits a classic theme. A world strictly governed by religious dogma is challenged by a scientist who has discovered a key piece of information challenging long-held beliefs. An intricately created alternate world provides a fascinating backdrop and a new twist to this classic dilemma. (Nominated for the Nebula and Hugo awards)
