Strange Attractors

 

A series of single author collections by outstanding writers. The Polestar, or North Star, is defined as the brightest star in Ursa Minor; since every author chosen for this series is a star in their own right, Polestars provides the ideal banner under which to unite such exceptional works.

 

To launch this new series, NewCon is delighted to present the first full collection from award-winning author Jaine Fenn, writer of innovative science fiction and off-kilter fantasy. Strange Attractors features her finest short stories, selected by the author, drawn from more than two decades of publication, including the BSFA Award-winning "Liberty Bird", a Hidden Empire story, and a new tale, "Sin of Omission", written specifically for this collection.

 

Jaine Fenn refuses to be pigeon-holed. Every story is fresh and unanticipated, from a society policed by sanctioned Angel Assassins to a world in which the Aztec kingdom lives on, from Fortean tales to colliding timelines in a search for the ultimate narcotic, from an exclusive girls school apparently plagued by ghosts to the hangar of a custom-built speedster about to enter the ultimate race in space ...

 

Prepare to be dazzled.
