The first short story collection from David D. Levine takes us far into the future of our own race; across the galaxy with an itinerant salesman trying to score the big sale with overly polite, chitinous aliens; to alternate realities where the horses in the local horseshow are unicorns; to China's ancient past, where a priestess of Kwan Yin saves a military unit from destruction with the ingenious use of a magical bracelet, and much more. David's breadth of knowledge reaches wide, his character ring true, and their situations are often surprising, comical and sometimes heartrending.

Review of 'Space Magic' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I generally do not like anthologies. Most of them are very uneven, and stories that don't catch my interest often cause me to put the book aside. So, I was skeptical when a friend recommended this anthology to me. "Trust me," he said.

I'm glad I did. There wasn't a single story in this book that failed to catch my interest. Even though the stories had wildly different genres, settings, and styles, they all were captivating. Some were funny, some were thought-provoking, and some were kind of just "out there" yet still entertaining.

If you enjoy thoughtful, well-written, science-fiction and fantasy stories, add this book to your collection.
