All fires eventually burn out. But occasionally, passion reignites the flame and the Phoenix soars once more. The Flight of the Phoenix brings together seven authors with their individual short stories around the central theme of hope and rebirth from smoldering ashes. Wonder at this transmutation as these authors explore a dragon’s selfish quest for vengeance, the discovery that a captor is sometimes the captive, how far one will go off the beaten path for love, how change could become vital to survival, how nature will restore what it has lost, cheese filled sausage and love in Ireland, and the bleak futures of mankind. All seven authors hail from Gauteng, South Africa, but none of them adhere to what can be traditionally associated with Africa. These stories range from high fantasy to horror and science fiction. Rise on fiery wings with The Flight of the Phoenix.
