Lifeboats (2017) and Illustrious (2019) collect Marina J. Lostetter’s shorter science fiction and fantasy work from before and alongside her debut novel. Short fiction has always been part of her writing practice, and the collections show the same range of ideas that her novels develop at greater length: generation ships, the costs of power, what it means to be human or artificial.
Both collections are fairly brief and suit readers who prefer to sample short fiction before committing to a series. They also work as companion reading for fans of Noumenon who want to see what else Lostetter was thinking about during the same period.
