Valiant, He Endured
From the 1898 Martian Siege of Baltimore to a forlorn AI attack dog on the blue-star-scarred surface of MZ458-C and from the merc-manned Freestead Mayflower off the coast of post-apocalyptic Portland to the man-desperate shores of the Red Sea, here are seventeen science fiction stories of valiant endurance. These heroes battle conspiracies of usurpers, confront the unearned consequences of others’ willful lunacy, seek out buried truths at unbearable personal expense and endure the inhuman demands of digital rebellion in worlds innately hostile to truth and freedom. With original, never-before-published works from veteran authors, including William F. Wu, as well as emerging talents.
3000 Mph in Every Direction at Once: Stories and Essays
What if everyone actually was famous for exactly fifteen minutes? What if Joey Ramone could save the world? What if the spiritual enlightenment of saints and sages was a sexually transmitted disease? These are the fictions. Neon signs that predict a city's future. Companies paying people to insult their clients online. Edgar Allan Poe's New York is still alive, but not well. These are the facts. And they say speculative fiction and personal essays don't belong in the same book. Whether in the glossy pages of the men's magazine Razor or the stolen reams of office supplies that make up the zine The Whirligig, the writing of Nick Mamatas is your hitchhiker's guide to the new, and very weird, millennium. Don't know where the world is headed? Nick does and it's 3000 miles per hour in every direction at once.
From A to Zine
Libraries eager to serve the underserved teen-to-twenty-year-old market can make the library a cool place to hang out. All it takes are zines, according to the author, young adult librarian Julie Bartel. Zines and alternative press materials provide a unique bridge to appeal to disenfranchised youth, alienated by current collections. For librarians unfamiliar with the territory, or anxious to broaden their collection, veteran zinester Bartel establishes the context, history, and philosophy of zines, then ushers readers through an easy, do-it-yourself guide to creating a zine collection, includ.
Defiant, She Advanced
From the Imperium-controlled aetherlanes to a tech noir restitution agency in the Free Zone and from a steampunk, 1894 China with clockwork automatons to a post-1984 Orwellian dystopia with mandatory goodpharm, here are ten science fiction stories of defiance and daring. Split evenly between strong female and male leads, these heroes fight losing battles on principle alone, discover lies hidden deep inside themselves, execute daring rescues and fight for love and liberty in a society where human dignity is cheaper than obsolete swarmbots. These original, never-before-published works are from veteran authors, including William F. Wu, as well as emerging talents.

Marco Polos millioner
En dimmig höstdag får dr Zimmertür besök av en ung dam som besvärats av några efterhängsna drömmar. Under sitt arbete med att tyda dessa kommer doktorn fram till att kvinnan hyser starka agg mot leverpastej från Strasbourg. Besatt av detta problem åker Zimmertür till Strasbourg och upptäcker där att kvinnans far tjugo år tidigare tillbringat lång tid med att studera bibliotekets material om Marco Polo. Fadern är nämligen övertygad om att han härstammar i rakt nedstigande led från den store upptäcktsresanden. Under arbetet blir Dr Zimmertür bestulen på ett av bibliotekets dyrbaraste dokument. Tjuven är en ung italiensk äventyrare som också är den mystiska hemligheten på spåren ... Frank Heller (pseudonym för Gunnar Serner) (1886-1947) var en svensk författare. Han är mest känd som underhållningsförfattare, men har även skrivit reseskildringar och lyrik. Störst framgång fick Serner med noveller och romaner om äventyraren/detektiven/gentlemannatjuven Filip Collin, alias professor Pelotard.
