Elemental: The Tsunami Relief Anthology: Stories of Science Fiction and Fantasy
Edited by Steven Saville and Alethea Kontis
Tor, May 2006, $13.95
ISBN: 0765315637
The proceeds from this anthology go to help Save the Children's Tsunami Relief Fund; so purchasing the collections is a worthy endeavor. However, if that alone cannot motivate readers, the twenty-three short stories written by some of the best of speculative fiction writers on the market today are almost all excellent, with no subpart submissions. The contributors, obviously motivated by the cause, diligently kept the bar at the highest quality level. The tales run the gamut of fantasy and science fiction, to include a dangerous trek into fairy land, a lethal march with the military in space, and an even more dangerous joy ride around a future Los Angeles. Whether the stories star alien species, mythological creatures, immortals; whether they are comedic; satiric (just ask Macbeth), or seriously cautionary all are terrifically entertaining.
