Rip-snorting action adventures of the What If… What Next… and, most importantly, the And Then… kind.
A cohort of Australia’s best genre fictioneers, and one bold Kiwi, present a fabulous and strange collection of action-packed adventure stories – each featuring two heroes.
Welcome to And Then… Volume One, in which 15 authors travel in time and space from Australia of the Gold Rush to an all-too possible dystopian future, from the Outback to Europe in the 1950s and the 21st Century, and from an apocalyptic New Zealand to worlds of steampunk fantastic and outer space exotic.
Their heroes are flawed and fabulous, brave and humble; and their tales are enriched with panthers and budgies and demons and dragons – all manner of creatures real and endangered, ridiculous and heroic.
Including the novelette by Kat Clay, In the Company of Rogues, a satire on the tropes in the epic fantasy genre. Randall the Rogue has contracted a carnally transmitted illness from too much ‘rogueing’. Together with his sidekick, Dennis the Budgerigar of Doom, he goes on a quest find the cure, fight half-elves in chain mail bikinis, battle necromantic skeletons, and potentially fall in love.
