"If only..." French
forces had defeated the British at the Plains of Abraham. "If only..." is the elemental force behind all forms of speculative fiction, none moreso than alternate history. It's also virtually a Canadian mantra.Winner of the Aurora Award, Arrowdreams is the first ever collection of Canadian fiction in this genre, exploring the highways and byways of historical paths not taken. This collection includes some of Canada's best and brightest speculative writers including Dave Duncan, Michael Skeet, Nancy Kilpatrick, Edo van Belkom, Glenn Grant, Allan Weiss, Laurent McAllister, Eric Choi, Paula Johanson and Derryl Murphy exploring the infinite possibilities of alternate Canadian history.

Roe Co. of Canada and its ill-fated jetliner could have been a global contender? Historical speculation is always fun, and there is much enjoyment in this collection." —The Globe & Mail "Space, alas, prevents me from saying more about this entertaining and frequently challenging book.... Hats off to Shainblum and Dupuis for this endeavor and may there be more!" —The Montreal Gazette "A fine collection, with some tasty food for thought." —Prairie Fire "If you're having trouble pinning down your identity as a Canadian, this collection may not help, but it'll open up some interesting avenues of escape." —The Halifax Daily News Other
