Book Description

1594143137 978-1594143137 December 14, 2005 1
Much of Jared Silvan's life is a lie. Neither his fairy father nor his human twin are dead and, his human mother, Amelia Silvan, isn't an unfortunate widow left with a son to raise. In fact, she ran off with Jared shortly after his birth, expecting her estranged husband, Ageon Silvan, to find them quickly. Then his dying mother asks Jared to right the wrong she committed years ago; to go to Miami to give a letter to an unknown man, whom Jared will somehow recognize the moment they meet. Jared, knowing the task is hopeless, agrees to try for his mother's sake. In the meantime, Zarrad Silvan is hoping to marry his girlfriend, Nona, get his own business going, and get on with his ordinary life - if life doesn't throw him any curves. Up against the manipulations of Amelia Silvan, it's going to take all the magic, love, luck, and tenacity of both separated brothers to sort this puzzle out.

Rebecca Lickiss began telling stories at an early age. She finally decided to write them down for publication, since it was better than cleaning house again. (20021201)

Editorial Reviews

Review

"From a darkly humorous tale of the power of words (Death and the Librarian) to a never-before-published response to events of September 11 (Ilion), Friesner's 12 stories illustrate the author's acutely sensitive vision of wonder in the everyday world... Known primarily for his 'Star Wars' novels... Zahn's short stories also deliver strong plots and memorable characters... Zebrowski's many novels (e.g. Macrolife) mark him as a visionary as well as a master of hard sf. The ten short stories collected in In the Distance provide a benchmark of his creativity... the author expands his concept of the human condition to embrace the stars. Part of Five Star's continuing commitment to showcasing the short fiction of the genre's most prominent author's, these three volumes belong in most libraries where short sf is popular."
-- Library Journal (December 2002) (Library Journal 20020615)

"...Part of Five Star's continuing commitment to showcasing the short fiction of the genre's most prominent authors, these three volumes (Death and the Librarian and Other Stories/ Star Song and Other Stories/ In the Distance, and Ahead in Time) belong in most libraries where short sf is popular."
-- Library Journal (December 2002) (Library Journal )

"Four more titles in Five Star's new series (God Is an Iron and Other Stories/ Generation Gap and Other Stories/ The Lady Vanishes and Other Oddities of Nature/ Suppose They Gave a Peace and Other Stories) of short fiction by noteworthy sf authors offer a variety of tales that illustrate the depth and staying power of the genre...Most of the stories in these volumes have only appeared in periodicals. Libraries wishing to augment their sf or short fiction collections should consider any of them."
-- Library Journal (June 2002) (Library Journal )

5.0 out of 5 stars enchanting A Comedy of Errors adult fairy tale, December 31, 2005
This review is from: Five Star Science Fiction/Fantasy - Remember Me? (Hardcover)
Amelia wants her husband to get out of the business now that he is a father, but he refuses. Instead, Ageon performs a separation spell turning their fairy child into identical twins: one mortal and one fairy. Amelia takes the fairy infant Jared and moves to Wisconsin where she makes him behave as if he was human. Meanwhile his twin Zarrad is raised is raised by his father who wants him to wear fairy wigs and have pointed ears.

Twenty four years later, Jared thinks his father and brother are dead. He is trying to reconcile with his human wife Mona whose sister the fairy Nona is dating the mortal Zarrad. When Mona and Jared go to Miami on a vacation where Zarrad and his father live, the brothers, not knowing of each other's existence, almost destroy their relationships with their women, who believe their significant others are crazy two timers.

Taking a classic Abbott and Costello routine co-starring Martha Raye and by placing it inside a contemporary fantasy, it leads to one of the most humorous tales to come along in ages. Ageon, a fairy Mafioso type, doesn't ever realize that he is dealing with two completely different but identical twin offspring, one fairy and one human. The trouble that mistaken identities cause results in situations that will have readers in stitches. Rebecca Lickiss has written an enchanting A Comedy of Errors adult fairy tale.
