Here’s the Goodreads blurb<\/a>:<\/p>\n

These stories run the gamut from science fiction, to fantasy, to horror. Some are translations (from German, Chinese, French, Spanish, and Swedish), and some were written in English. The authors herein come from Asia and Europe, Africa and Latin America. Their stories are all wondrous and wonderful, and showcase the vitality and diversity that can be found in the field. They are a conversation, by voices that should be heard. And once again, editor Lavie Tidhar and Apex Publications are tremendously grateful for the opportunity to bring them to our readers.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Planetfall was originally published<\/a> in Crossed Genres<\/em> and a slightly modified version<\/a> appeared in the World SF blog (the latter is the one reprinted in the Apex collection). It’s mythic space opera, a segmented story with several leitmotifs, and part of the large universe I discussed in The Next Big Thing<\/a>. Other published stories in the same universe are Contra Mundum<\/a>, Dry Rivers<\/a> and The Wind Harp<\/a>. Two more, The Stone Lyre and The Paths of Twilight, are searching for a place in the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
