Tales From The Fathomless Abyss
(2011)(A book in the Fathomless Abyss series)
An anthology of stories edited by Philip Athans
"At the heart of it, science fiction and fantasy authors are at play in the fields of wonder, fueled by "what if" and held hostage by the people, places and problems that populate our wacky, slightly-offset imaginations and spill out of us in Story. And if you love Story, you're in for a solid meal here. And this is just the appetizer. Over the next few months, the real meal begins as the individual titles make their way into the world."
--Ken Scholes, from his introduction
Combine six of the finest fantasy authors working in the genre today: Mike Resnick & Brad R. Torgersen, Jay Lake, Mel Odom, J.M. McDermott, and Cat Rambo, and mix in veteran editor and New York Times best-selling author Philip Athans, and what comes out is the Fathomless Abyss: a wild new fantasy world where the laws of physics only work against you, there's no way out, and time means nothing.
This is the world of the Fathomless Abyss, a bottomless pit that opens who-knows-when onto who-knows-where, just long enough for new people from a thousand different worlds and a million different times to fall in and join the fight for survival in a place where the slightest misstep means an everlasting fall into eternity.
Tales from the Fathomless Abyss features six new short stories, and it's only the beginning. From here, each author will branch out to spin a series of new books sharing this impossible, explosive, infinite setting.
Your fall into the Fathomless Abyss begins here.
