Syndromes

Summary

A finalist for both the Hugo and Locus awards, Alec Nevala-Lee has seen his short fiction and essays featured in
Salon, the New York Times, and Analog Science Fiction and Fact. Now Nevala-Lee delivers a gripping meditation on the
human experience with his powerful collection Syndromes: Science Fiction Stories.
These stories contain a cross section of narratives, people, and places: an unusual couple requests to be flown to a
remote island near Alaska; a series of beached whales vex a US military officer in Vietnam and cause unrest in a local
village; an ecoterrorist’s bomb at an upscale ski resort has unintended consequences; and mysterious killings thought
to be the work of a monster in Japan turn out to be something much more real.
