Mariah's Prologues: The Complete Collection: 16 Short Stories
From the world of Belfast 2079
WINNER OF THE 2018 SIR JULIUS VOGEL AWARD (Best Collected Work) from the Science Fiction & Fantasy Association of New Zealand
Meet a dog with no name, a nun turned bandit, a cyborg with heart, lovers and schemers, enemies making back-alley deals, colleagues, tyrants, and fishermen. Experience their compassion and their stubborn grip on hope beyond all odds. Walk with them through dark places and watch them spot the impossibly tiny ray of light that somehow has the power to change everything.
When the world has turned to lifeless muck, hope can still be found in the oddest places. When food won't grow even if it were legal to try, people still reach for strength deep within. When a government enslaves its subjects, they will find ways to protect what they treasure most in life.
Mariah's Prologues form a collection of short stories that add extra pieces to the puzzle of Mariah's world, with introductions to all your favourite characters and glimpses into their day-to-day lives before the adventure begins in Mariah's Dream.
