Megafirms: Strategies for Canada's Multinationals

Rugman, Alan M.

McIlveen, John

Nelson Canada

A wildly adventurous collection of stories and verse that cross the thresholds of genre. Here you'll find epic battles as the forces of order combat alien extremism in space; the confrontation between Norse Gods and the almighty Cthulhu; and otherworldly invaders causing havoc by controlling the elements. But there's much more. In these 29 well-crafted pieces of prose, verse, and artwork, there are more subtle moments: cozy mysteries, time travel, apparitions on lonely highways, isolation, and moments of nail-biting suspense. Over 300 pages of exciting and startling fiction, verse, and art. Written and compiled from the authors, artists, and poets that have been guests at the Anthology Conference (AnthoCon) in historical Portsmouth, NH, DISTANT DYING EMBER represents a colorful and intense journey into the psyches of a talented group of people from all over the world.
