Produktbeschreibung
Inklings Press returns with the next anthology in their award-winning alternate history series. Featuring fourteen fascinating new tales of what might have been. Visit worlds where wartime experiments unlocked genetic potential, where magical creatures flourish beside the Roman Empire, or where aliens invaded Regency England. Imagine a world where the space shuttle tragedy meant taking a different path to the stars. Root for an unlikely hero in a vastly different future trying to grant humans a second chance deep in our past. Explore fascinating new Earths where things that might have been play out, all driven by one small change. What if the Ripper had kept killing, Hitchcock had directed Titanic, or if Jurassic Park was never written? Could our world have descended into nuclear Armageddon if another Napoleon had ascended the throne? If the Roman Empire persisted to the modern day, what would detective work be? How would our world look if a Cold War spy had understood a literary reference? Would the world turn out differently had a young Bulgarian instigator fled with his shoes? Tales From Alternate Earths volume 3 arrives with more stories and more award-wining authors including Alan Smale, DJ Butler, and Daniel Bensen. Discover these worlds if you dare!
Autorenporträt
Alan Smale writes alternate and twisted history, historical fantasy, and occasional pure SF. His novella of a Roman invasion of ancient America, "A Clash of Eagles", won the Sidewise Award for Alternate History, and his series of novels set in the same universe, Clash of Eagles (2015), Eagle in Exile (2016), and Eagle and Empire (2017), is available from Penguin Random House/Del Rey. Alan has also sold over forty pieces of shorter fiction to Asimov's, Realms of Fantasy, Abyss & Apex, and numerous other magazines and original anthologies, and his non-fiction science pieces about terraforming and killer asteroids have appeared in Lightspeed.Alan grew up in Yorkshire, England, acquired degrees in Physics and Astrophysics from St. Edmund Hall, Oxford University, and moved to the US in his late twenties. He currently performs astronomical research into black holes and neutron stars at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, MD, with over a hundred published academic papers, and serves as director of an astrophysical data archive. He also sings bass with high-energy vocal band The Chromatics, and is co-creator of their educational AstroCappella project, spreading astronomy through a cappella in schools across the country. The Chromatics have been Music Guests of Honor and regular performers at many SF conventions across the northeastern US, which gives Alan yet another excuse to hang out with fellow science fiction writers and other really cool people.
