A very special book, featuring in a single volume (under two
beautiful covers), two spectacular short novels: "On a world
without women, who are the New People?" The New People by Alex
Jeffers, set on the watery planet Rahab in the distant future,
presents a society where no females have been born for generations
and where science has made it possible for men to continue in a
single-sex world. But most males there are still born
heterosexually oriented. The biological and existential conundrum
inherent in this situation eventually answers the question of who
the "New People" are and what their agenda is. But in the process
of unfolding for the reader the nature of Rahab's society, Jeffers
creates beautifully rendered characters and a deeply moving story
that will surprise the reader throughout and leave a lasting
impression. "A stunning act of betrayal on a deadly world " Brandon
H. Bell's Elegant Threat...On the Demise of Captain Fantomas
Patton-Guerrero and Loss of La Amenaza Elegente is a lovely,
stirring, startling story focused on a group of far future humans
making their living by wrangling the strange fauna of a deadly
oceanic moon while facing impending conflict with their
Post-Singularity cousins and sectarian strife within their own
ranks. Though Bell foreshadows his story's conclusion from the very
beginning, he has crafted such engaging characters that one cannot
help but hold out hope that somehow disaster will be averted.
Together, the two stories form a remarkable duo, the first M-Brane
SF Double.
