Panverse One: Five Original Novellas of Fantasy and Science Fiction
FIVE ORIGINAL NOVELLAS OF FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION PANVERSE ONE is the first in a series of all-original novella anthologies from Panverse Publishing. The five absorbing novellas, or short novels, contained in this volume showcase some of today's strongest writing in the genre by new and established authors. WAKING THE CITY - In the distant future, age-old tensions between the wilderness and the city come to the boil as an outcast boy follows the stirrings of forgotten technology embedded in his blood… SHIVA NOT DANCING - Amidst the bitter water disputes of the desert Southwest, a peaceful Yoga community shoehorned into the local culture becomes the center of an unusual scientific phenomenon… DELUSION'S SONG - In 1846, a space-time discontinuity has cut Haworth, Yorkshire, off from the surrounding countryside, and Emily is determined to discover the reason why… FORK YOU - A wild girl child armed with a pair of magical utensils and a lot of attitude is adopted by a family of inbred, moonshine-swilling hillbillies… THE SINGERS OF RHODES - A long-simmering vendetta comes to a head as rival treasure-seekers face off on a vast, abandoned alien space station. And the small alien creatures who infest the structure seem to have their own agenda… PANVERSE. REDISCOVER THE WONDER.

A strong collection of entertaining novellas covering a wide variety of science fiction and fantasy. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Details: This collection was compiled by a friend, Dario Ciriello. The five stories cover a wide variety of genres: space stations, magic, post-apocalypse, mysticism and the power of imagination. I enjoyed all the stories, but the one set on the moors of Yorkshire with the Bronte sisters was the best.
Novellas are stories 15,000 - 40,000 words long (30 - 100 pages), a great length for reading on commutes.
The Takeaway: A good read. Pick it up if you like the genre, you will enjoy it.

This is an anthology of five novellas that I got as a review copy from a friend of a friend at WFC. I've already written an extensive review, which I'm trying to place somewhere since Adventures in Sci-Fi Publishing is ending.

A wonderful debut collection of original novellas. Keep an eye out for this new publisher; Panverse Publishing has the bit between its teeth. Recommended.
