Michael R. Collings / Robert Reginald
In the tradition of the old 'Ace Doubles' two-in-one books (flip one over to read the second title)--here is the eighth Wildside Double.THREE TALES OF OMNE: A COMPANION TO WORDSMITH, by Michael R. CollingsThis is Omne, a world enveloped by perpetual clouds, without metals, machines, or technology, whose people harbor the secrets of an unimaginable power for destruction--or redemption. But--before it became Omne, it was Colony, home of a small group of refugees from Earth, struggling to survive on a new planet and understand its rules, unaware of their gradual transformation into something no longer quite human. This is the story of how it all began!THE ELDER OF DAYS: TALES OF THE ELDERS, by Robert ReginaldThey hide among us, these near-immortals, and they go by names like William Shakespeare and John Donne and Napoleon Bonaparte. They’re immune to most diseases, heal rapidly from injury, and age so slowly that their life-spans are encompassed by the passage of millennia. These are The Elders.In 'Katydid,' Jack must penetrate the mystery of a decaying trolley car and the curious 1920s photo album secreted within. A statistical reporting anomaly for 'Eldering,' a forgotten town tucked away in the Cumberland Mountains, prompts a dying census worker to investigate. Abused wife Jewel-Rose can only find the 'chaud' in the 'Boneyard' just outside her small Montana town. Time traveler Pat Wardon is determined upon 'Saving Jane Austen'--whether she wants to be saved or not! Great romantic fantasy stories. 3
