Now, in this startling new anthology, S. M. Stirling invites
the most fertile minds in science fiction to join him in
expanding his rich Emberverse canvas. Here are inventive new
perspectives on the cultures, the survivors, and the battles
arising across the years and across the globe following the
Change.
In his all-new story “Hot Night at the Hopping Toad,”
Stirling returns to his own continuing saga of the High
Kingdom of Montival. In the accompanying stories are fortune
seekers, voyagers, and dangers—from the ruins of Sydney to
the Republic of Fargo and Northern Alberta to Venetian and
Greek galleys clashing in the Mediterranean.
These new adventures revisit beloved people and places from
Stirling’s fantastic universe, introduce us to new ones, and
deliver endlessly fascinating challenges to conquer, all
while unfolding in a “postapocalyptic landscape that
illuminates both the best and the worst of which our species
is capable,”** “a world you can see, feel, and touch.” ***
