Prizes, Pilum New Voices Number 4 - Paperback

by Neal Durando (Editor), John C. Wright (Introduction by), Schuyler Hernstrom (Author)

Nine stories about objectives sought and won or lost and those regained by main force, deception, seduction, overweening desire, a taste for the good and/or easy life, slipped beneath a coat on the way out the door, or acquired of simple avarice, drive, anything risked on a final, sweaty throw, get-up-and-go, winning attitude and a fine smile, not to be confused with lost property or that abandoned in flight, staid inheritance, the product of simple good fortune. Slightly more than a handful of tales told out-of-pocket, a weather eye to the wind.
