Shapers of Worlds edited by Edward Willett (2020)

This is another one that I’ve had in the queue for a while on the ereader.  I backed a Kickstarter for it on the basis of hearing about it through Chuck Gannon, and there are some great names contributing here.  I didn’t read every story (honestly, maybe about half), but Fonda Lee’s “Welcome to the Legion of Six” was delightful.  The book must have done well as it has become a series with number 5 coming out this March.

Short Take: “Star Wars From a Certain Point of View” (2017)

 

Star Wars from a certain point of viewI recently finished this book after having it in my ereader for YEARS. I bought it originally because it had Wil Wheaton’s first fiction sale in it. (It’s a decent story.) It’s a great idea for a collection; shorts (there’s even a poem) that detail events from the first movie from alternate POVs.  There are sequels covering the next two movies of the original trilogy as well, and proceeds were donated to a book charity, at least when originally published.  I will probably look for the next two, but who knows how long it will take to read them! 😉
