De Cesi & Other Fey Stories (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781105515477)

The precise meaning of fey is fated to die, but more loosely it refers to the irrational or fantastic. Six of these seven fey stories are set on earth. Of the six, two take place in the present, and the other four in what could be the near future; the seventh takes place on a planet outside of our solar system. If one thinks of them as science fiction, then they are fiction closely grounded in science, subjects one can study in a good collegiate curriculum. If one thinks of them as fantasy, then it is fantasy that results from just nudging the envelope of reality. There are no giant spiders, magicians, talking trees or high legends of the North, although the author loves the tales of Tolkein and Wagner. There is no divine lion although the author loves the Narnia stories. There is a rocket, but it's only big and not very fast.
