That Way Lies Camelot by Janny Wurts

JOURNEY THROUGH TIME AND SPACE TO ALTERNATE WORLDS AND THE NEAR FUTURE IN A SUPERB COLLECTION OF INTERCONNECTED STORIES

The title story is a poignant and moving tale which deals sensitively with the eternal blight of humankind - cancer. Sandy is in the last throes of life and has one final wish. A wish that, sadly, cannot possibly be fulfilled. For Sandy would like to visit the Round Table of King Arthur - an impossible task, but one which is about to be realised. In Dreambridge, the last tree which links this world to the world of the Fey's has been brutally attacked. Kirelle, apprentice healer, has been chosen to seek revenge on the humans who have so thoughtlessly attempted to destroy this sacred link. Can they be made to understand the gravity of their actions? And in Janny Wurts' brilliant Fleet stories we follow the fortunes and misfortunes of Michael Christopher Jensen Jr. and his numerous encounters with the space-pirate MacKenzie James. Theirs is a relationship that will captivate all readers and leave you wondering who the villain really is.

By turns sensitive, witty and imaginative Janny Wurts has produced an unrivalled collection of short stories that will hold readers enthralled by her all-round skill and creativity.
