Biology in action Book

Fantasy stories ignite the imagination in ways that realistic fiction can not. Characters are larger than life. Conflicts mean life and death - often for an entire race or culture.

In this collection, editors Dann and Dozois, have collected unpublished short stories from a variety of well-known fantasy authors. Each story is about a wizard, but rarely do they appear in the pointed hat and starry cape (like the one on the cover of the book):
Orson Scott Card introduces us to the mages of the elements, who draw their power and their forms from nature.
Mary Rosenblum creates a magical world of colorful auras and a mysterious villain, threatened with oblivion by the real mask they wear.
Terry Dowling takes us to a special school, where students make choices that affect not only their own magical power and abilities, but those around them as well.
Journey through hell and talk to the devil with stories from Andy Duncan and from Terry Bisson.
