From Phoenix Pick:
Our free give-away for January (by popular request) is Nancy Kress’ novella “Act One” which was a Hugo and Nebula nominee in 2010.
Gardner Dozois of Locus writes that “Act One” is “one of the best of the year…a compelling novella about a once-famous actress and her devoted manager who get much more publicity of an unfortunate sort when they inadvertently become embroiled with an act of biological terrorism with potentially world-changing results.”
Nancy Kress has won the Nebula four times and the Hugo twice.
As a special treat for the new year readers will also be able to download a short story by Hugo and Nebula winner, Alexei Panshin. ‘Sky Blue’ is taken from Alexei Panshin’s critically acclaimed anthology, Farewell to Yesterday’s Tomorrow.
Alexei Panshin’s works include “Rite of Passage”, (Nebula) and The World Beyond the Hill (Hugo).
