Produktbeschreibung
Echoes of the Arcane is a collection of short science fiction and fantasy stories from Pacific Northwestern author Cody D. Campbell. The places and times range from ancient worlds of magic to distant dystopian futures. They have different perspectives and voices, different magic systems, and scientific frameworks, but many of them revolve around a common theme - loss. It features several award-winning stories, such as: ·Little Bugs - The story of a young woman who ventures into a forest that has been closed due to toxic contamination for years, but is now open thanks to the efforts of government-owned nanobots that have been cleaning the pollution. ·Crossing Over - A speculative story about a refugee fleeing to Canada from a war-torn future United States. It chronicles her journey across the border and her struggle to come to terms with the people she was forced to leave behind. ·Bones of the Giant - A story about a young girl who lives inside the husk of a metal giant. Alone in the heart of a dense forest, she hardly ever sees another soul until she encounters a stranger in need of help. ·Last of the Legion - A fantasy novelette about a centurion who is trying to save his family from ruthless invaders in the final days of the Roman Empire. Over the course of this journey, he discovers that there are powers at play hailing from beyond the realms of mortal men.
