The second volume of Prime Books' annual anthology series collecting of
some of the year's best novella-length science fiction and fantasy.
Novellas, longer than short stories but shorter than novels, are a rich
rewarding literary form that can fully explore tomorrow's technology,
the far reaches of the future, thought-provoking imaginings, fantastic
worlds, and entertaining concepts with all the impact of a short story
as well as the detailed depth of a novel. Gathering a wide variety of
excellent SF and fantasy, this anthology of "short novels" showcases the
talents of both established masters and new writers.
