After the War: The Tales of Catt & Fisher, Volume 3: A Brand-New Collection of Stand-Alone Stories from the World of the Critically Acclaimed Redempti/Justina Robson

A brand-new collection of stand-alone stories featuring the return of two fan-favourite characters from the world of the critically acclaimed Redemption's Blade and Salvation's Fire novels. Four new tales of Doctors Catt and Fisher... Scholars, shopkeepers, collectors... aficionados. Obtainers of rare antiquities; relic hunters who can't resist a lead, even when it takes them into terrible danger. There's always an opportunity to be found amid the confusion, in the wake of the terrible Kinslayer War. There's always a deal to be done, a tomb to open, a precious thing to... obtain. From encounters with the monstrous Vathesk to exploring new worlds; from wielding great power to do great good, to unearthing dark things best left lost. If you need the experts, if you can find your way to their Cherivell shop, maybe you can hire Doctors Catt and Fisher. "Robson writes a tense, fast-paced quest adventure... I hope to see more like it." -- Liz Bourke "If you're looking for something that celebrates the genre, while working to interrogate and question how that genre works, look no further than Redemption's Blade ." -- Martin Cahill, Tor.com About author(s): Justina Robson sold her first novel in 1999 which also won the 2000 amazon.co.uk Writers' Bursary Award, and since then her books have been shortlisted for most major genre awards. She's been a student and teacher at The Arvon Foundation and Clarion West, and is also the proud author of "The Covenant of Primus" - the Hasbro-authorised history and 'bible' of The Transformers. Her novels and stories range widely over SF and Fantasy, often combining the two and often featuring AIs and machines who aren't exactly what they seem.
