Publisher's Blurb: For centuries the Warders' Circle on the neutral islands of Twaa-Fei has given the countries of the sky a way to avoid war, settling their disputes through formal, magical duels. But the Circle's ability to maintain peace is fading: the Mertikan Empire is preparing for conquest an...
So much fun!Imagine all your favorite sci-fi movies, fantasy tv shows, and comic books got all rolled into one. Now put them in a story about a girl finding her way through life. You can see why it would be so much fun if you use your imagination!The author did just that. A creative mind he has to b...
It'll come to no surprise to any of my longer-term readers that I liked this -- it's pretty established that I'm a Genrenauts fan. I dig the characters, the world(s), the type of stories Underwood's telling -- the whole kit and caboodle. This story is no exception -- I liked it. This takes place jus...
[I received a copy of this book through NetGalley.]3.5/4 stars; I liked quite a few of these short stories, none of them made me roll my eyes, and to be fair, the essays at the end of the book were also quite interesting.My favourites:* “Single, Singularity”: While it doesn’t really invert the trope...
Parallel to our world are various worlds populated by fictional characters in a wide variety of genres (Western, SF, Romance, etc), and when things go wrong in the stories, things go wrong in our world. For example, broken Romance world stories = higher divorce rates here. In this world, there are a...

This is my life, Leah thought . . . My amazing, confusing, totally screwed-up life. Just as Leah is getting to the point that she's starting to feel comfortable, maybe even a little confident, in her new job -- her new life -- things get shook up a little. Mallery, the member of the team whose injur...
What I love most about the Genrenauts series is the elasticity the central premise allows for each subsequent entry. If you're not familiar with Michael R. Underwood's latest series, Genrenauts is a literary-focused spin on Quantum Leap with a side of Star Trek. Earth Prime - our Earth - is the cent...
It's not often that I do prep work before reading something -- especially a 26 page story. But I wanted to fully appreciate this, so in the weeks leading up to the release (and one week after -- hence the late review), I watched the Mad Max films -- I'm not sure why, but they never appealed to me ba...
