Short Stories
Before Drew undertook the writing of his full length novels, he wrote an number of short stories. These have been collated into a single volume known as “Contraband.”
Contraband
These stories pre-date Drew’s full length books by some degree, written whilst he was still playing around with ideas and not having yet committed to full length storytelling.
Here you will find the genesis of some of the ideas which later found their way, in full form, into the Shadeward and Hegira series, the Elect Saga and his work on Elite Dangerous.
Reviews of Contraband
“It’s an interesting collection this, written prior to Drew Wagar’s major works. You can see the kernels of ideas that would go on to form the basis of Shadeward, Reclamation and the Elect Saga here. Yet, these shorts are good yarns and stand on their own as tales that will make you pause and think.”
Nine Streams of Consciousness
A new home, a new challenge.
There was nothing left we wanted to discover.
Complacent, we turned inward. We had given up on our quest to learn our place in the universe.
Then our hand was forced by fate. A calamity unforeseen.
In the struggle to survive, would we lose ourselves in myth and ignorance, or seek the answer to the greatest question: Are we alone?
Reviews of Nine Streams of Consciousness
“An intriguing and ambitious concept, well realised and thought-provoking. A very enjoyable read overall, each author brings something different to the table, and it’s great fun seeing the ways each story has been linked together to form a single narrative.“
“The story line was very well developed and the stories themselves are riveting! If you’re looking for a different style of writing with a great plot and solid execution, this book is it. A lot of unexpected turns, details, and each author had a slightly different writing style which adds to the experience.“
