3rd World Products, Inc. Book 9 by Ed Howdershelt |
| DESCRIPTION: |
Ed’s old girlfriend Selena calls to plead for help with her aunt Jessie, who’s moved in with her and is driving her nuts. Ed agrees to at least try to help, but there’s only one small problem; like Selena’s mother Joanie, Jessie still hates Ed for all the years his involvement with Selena kept her “from finding a man her own age who’d marry her and give her children.” Just when Ed seems to be making some headway in that matter, 3rd World receives a video of Dr. James Hannity Felton being executed Hamas-style in Washington state and Linda launches a manhunt for his killer that ranges from Seattle to the mountains of North Carolina in the dead of winter. During the hunt a new AI is ‘born’ who constructs her persona to closely resemble a gorgeous movie star, but for some reason refuses to name herself. As it becomes apparent to Ed and the lovely Ms. Nameless that everyone is searching for the wrong person in the wrong places, they strike out on their own to look for answers and the real killer. |

Your Title Here: Mike Resnick’s Round Robin Spectacular (Chapter 14) by Jane Yolen |
| DESCRIPTION: |
Welcome to the first Fictionwise.com Round Robin Novel! Science Fiction writer and Fictionwise Author of the Year Mike Resnick is our editor for this project. Chapter 14 is written by Jane Yolen, award-winning author of children’s books, fantasy, and science fiction. Here’s Mike’s description of what a Round Robin is: “A round robin is a science fiction tradition dating back some 70 years. It works like this: a number of authors agree to write one chapter each of a novel. There is no plot. There is no outline. Author #1 writes the opening chapter and sends it on to Author #2, who has no idea what he’s about to receive. He can continue the plot, branch off from it in a logical way, even contradict something that came before if he does it fairly (such as showing that the main character was being purposely misled). It then goes to Author #3 and so on down the line; the final Author wraps it up. For this reason, not only can’t we tell you what the book is about yet, but we can’t even give you a title (but never fear: there will be a contest open to all Fictionwise.com readers). Okay, those are the ground rules. Now enjoy.” |

The Secret Nature of Space and Time by Joseph Kosiewska |
| DESCRIPTION: |
A man waiting to board a flight at the Buffalo Airport is arrested by Homeland Security for his own murder. Another man takes a phone call meant for someone else and begins to suspect he has accidentally become the target of a world wide conspiracy. A third man wakes in a trauma ward and cannot remember who he is or what has happened to him. And an author going through emotional difficulties suddenly discovers that the story he is currently writing is in some strange way writing him. These are a few of the people we meet in The Secret Nature of Space and Time, a collection of short stories which explore in different ways (as science fiction, as mystery, as horror story, as literary experiment) the one inescapable fact of conscious life: our very human need to decipher who we think we are. Because stories are never just stories. They are the way we time travel, the way we visit alternate worlds, the way we connect to other versions of ourselves. |
