Science Fiction

In the far distant future, man is no longer man—he is Elder, awash in life-long youth, health, and Gifts of the Mind.  Serving celestial beings known as the Elders, man formed the League, a collection of Great Houses scattered on numerous worlds dedicated to defending life and serving the benevolent will of the Elders.  For ages League mothers have told their children terrifying stories about the Black Hats: the enemy. A sect of Xaphan murderers eager to slay anyone who falls into their grasp, always searching for their next victim.  Only the League’s ruling body, the Sisterhood of Light, has been able to counter their evil. When a Black Hat is taken prisoner aboard Captain Davage’s ship, the Sisters have every intention of executing her, to put her to a slow, painful death. That is what’s done to Black Hats, and no one dares challenge the Sisters’ authority. They are astounded when the Captain refuses to allow it.  Using his Gift of Sight, Captain Davage, the Lord of the Great House of Blanchefort, has gotten a glimpse of the Black Hat’s face, and is shocked. Though no one but a Sister would ever willingly face a Black Hat and hope to survive, he enters her cell.

Kilos, who is made to quit her job aboard the Seeker and go into the dreaded Hazards of the Old Ones: a place where only she can stand.

To make matters worse, hidden forces threaten to destroy everyone Carahil needs to help him.

Farstand is a place where it’s illegal for peasants to bear weapons, read books, worship gods other than Sho, and move beyond life’s station. Women are disallowed employment without the sanction of men. Abi’s worthless father hopes to kick her out of his peasant holding without a dowry. She beats him by a day, leaving on her own, though forced to do so under threatening calls of witch and murderess. Those aren’t the only sins they’re likely to burn her for, as she takes up her weapons and book of Goddess-given spells, naively facing the empty world beyond her mother’s door. And the Goddess laughs, sending a dream: “A thousand men shall fall before your sword.”

Neither science fiction nor fact has explained all that we know of our world. How then can we expect them to explain that which we only believe or hope to be real? Where might the answers be? Are they in the machines or cures we have created? Are they with those who left this life but not this world? Or are they not even on this planet but out in space or in the hands of gods we have not met? In this collection of tales today’s newest science fiction and fantasy writers explore these questions and share the answers they have discovered.
