Миры, где животные и роботы наделены разумом.

Миры, где мифические существа правят людьми.

Миры, в которых виртуальная реальность полностью заменила обыденную.

Миры юные и умирающие, пустынные и страдающие от перенаселения, вполне привычные нашему воображению и причудливые, как полотна сюрреалистов.

И герои этих миров – воины, инженеры, врачи, сумасшедшие и гении…

34 рассказа, собранные в антологии «Лучшая фантастика XXI века», удовлетворяют любые читательские ожидания – здесь есть фэнтези, НФ, боевики, альтернативная история и виртуальные приключения. А в центре каждого рассказа – живой человек с его тревогами и заботами, радостями и муками.

Восхитительная смесь захватывающих баталий и мистики на страницах новой антологии «Пиратское фэнтези»! Впервые на русском языке!

Мастера с мировым именем, такие, как Кейдж Бейкер, Майкл Муркок, Гарт Никс, Наоми Новик, Говард Уолдроп и многие другие, представят жизнь морских разбойников в кардинально новом свете. Под одной обложкой собраны рассказы на любой вкус: о карибских интригах и пиратской кухне, о романтической любви и кровавых сражениях, о несметных сокровищах и экзотических открытиях. Увлекательные истории об отважных негодяях, путешествующих по бескрайним морям под черными парусами, придутся по душе преданным поклонникам приключенческой литературы.

After being fatally injured, she is persuaded to allow her spirit to be bound, so that she can be summoned and thus continue to advise her queen. However, after the queen has herself died, Naeva continues to be summoned… first by the queen’s successor, and then by people from civilizations later than hers.

Award-winning editor John Joseph Adams has once again assembled a who’s who of short fiction, and the result is nothing short of mind-blowing.

This fourth volume of the year's best science fiction and fantasy features thirty stories by some of the genre's greatest authors, including Jonathan Carroll, Neil Gaiman, Kij Johnson, Kelly Link, Paul McAuley, RJ Parker, Robert Reed, Rachel Swirsky, Catherynne M. Valente, and many others.

This anthology includes not only the Nebula Award-winning works in each short-form category, but also all the nominees in the novelette and short story categories. Here you will find colourful fantasy, outstanding speculative fiction, steampunk, edgy writing on the fringes of the mainstream and uncompromisingly hard SF in stories set in the distant past, an off-kilter present day, the far future or some times in between.

An anthology of stories edited by Jonathan Strahan

The heroes are eager to sail to Troy for war, but the wind is still. To fill their sails and set out, they must sacrifice Agamemnon's daughter Iphigenia-and how does a human girl become the wind? The starkness and psychological insight of Rachel Swirsky's Tor.com story earned it a place among the finalists for the 2010 Nebula Award. Rachel Swirsky's short fiction has appeared in Weird Tales, Fantasy Magazine, and Subterranean Magazine, among others, and has been collected in Year's Best anthologies edited by Rich Horton, Jonathan Strahan, and the VanderMeers. She is also the submissions editor of Podcastle, an audio fantasy magazine.
