from the zheki empire to ben il braithe: tales from the crater of grace

Here we find a world that gets its name as much from what stays away from it as from the shape it takes. Here, faeries and starships, aliens and werewolves, they all exist in the same place: see, sometimes Clark's Third Law works in reverse and you get something like a hyperspace drive-it can only be magic but it masquerades as science. Or, some short stories from a space-fantasy world I've had floating around in my head for a while.
