Synopsis

Edgar-award winning author Dana Stabenow is best known for her Kate Shugak novels, but the unifying protagonist of almost all her writing—be it crime, fantasy, horror, or science fiction—is Alaska. This genre-spanning collection of sixteen short stories features familiar characters like Kate and Jim, Liam and Wy, and Bill and Moses, but also ranges farther afield than many listeners will expect, leaping from modern-day Anchorage to twenty-second century Mars to the fantasy kingdom of Mnemosynea. Remarkably disparate, but indisputably Stabenow, whose fertile imagination is anything but predictable.

Titles in this collection: "Nooses Give," "Conspiracy," "Under the Influence," "Wreck Rights," "Cherchez la Femme," "Siren Song," "The Eyak Interpreter," "Any Taint of Vice," "On the Evidence," "Missing, Presumed . . .," "The Perfect Gift," "Gold Fever," "Cheechako," "No Place Like Home," "Justice is a Two-edged Sword," and "A Woman’s Work."

Newly added in this edition, find "Collected Essays" and "Dana on Writing" as well!

I read all that I wanted. 524 pages of short stories is too much for me. My interest begins to wander after about 50 pages. This book had the Kate Shugack stories first. I read all of those and a few of the others. If you like short stories and particularly if you like stores without a firm ending,......more

Good collection I really enjoyed this collection of stories that take me around Alaska, space, and a fantasy world of sword & sorceress. Each story stands alone, but there is the rich feel of a world unexplored and waiting.......more
