The Scent of Tears

For the first time in
print, Adrian Tchaikovsky has opened up the realm of the Apt, as
featured in his best-selling Shadow of the Apt decalogy, to a carefully
selected cast of fellow writers, inviting them to do their best and
their worst within the world he has created.
They have done just
that. Topped and tailed by two new stories from Adrian himself, some of
the finest imaginations in fantasy, including winners of the David
Gemmell Award, the Costa Book Award and British Fantasy Award, have
combined to produce a stunning collection of tales that examine fresh
aspects of the Apt world and its people.
