Writers of the Future vol 27

One of the most successful contests that has launched the careers of hundreds of new writers and illustrators of speculative fiction. The judges are among the most successful professional authors and illustrators of our time, such as: Tim Powers, Anne McCaffrey, Orson Scott Card, Kevin J. Anderson, Sean Williams, Robert Sawyer, Bob Eggleton, Rebecca Moesta, Will Eisner, Stephen Hickman, Dean Wesley Smith and many more. The book contains the award-winning short stories, each illustrated by a winner of the companion Illustrators of the Future program.

The other best job in the world belongs to Ron Lindahn and Val Lakey Lindahn.
They run the L. Ron Hubbard Illustrators of the Future Contest, which was created
in 1988 as a companion to Writers of the Future, and teach the workshop that is
part of the prize package. Again, the purpose is to find talented artists just on the
edge of breaking out, recognize and commend their abilities, publish their
creative efforts and instruct them on how to move up to the next level in their
career.

Young, wealthy, and good-looking, Jan Palmer leads the kind of life most of us would die for. He has it all—except for one thing: happiness. Trapped under the weight of his responsibilities to his family, his business, and his life, he wishes only to escape to another world. But you have to be careful what you wish for. Waking out of a deep sleep, Jan finally finds escape—into a living nightmare. He surprises a prowler who has broken into his mansion, attempting to steal from his priceless collection of antiques. There is a scuffle. An ancient copper jar is opened... and all hell breaks loose. For not just any copper jar, it has long imprisoned a powerful and ruthless Jinni, whose anger has been bottled up for centuries. The Jinni kills the thief and curses Jan to eternal wakefulness. Jan finds himself straddling two parallel dimensions. On earth he is his mild-mannered self, falsely imprisoned for murder. But in the world beyond, where the sleep-souls of humans are enslaved by the Jinn, he is a swashbuckling warrior facing death at every turn. In an exotic world of dark arts, deadly secrets, and dangerous dancing girls, he is drawn into the great battle between the Masters of Sleep and the Slaves of Sleep. He will uncover clues to the magic at the heart of history—and discover that the destiny of all humankind lies in his hands. Abounding in untold mystery and revelation, this eye-opening tale may just wake you out of a dead sleep. “I stayed up all night finishing it. The yarn scintillated.” —Ray Bradbury
