Tales from the Ninth World

ADD TO WISHLIST >

THERE HAVE BEEN EIGHT PREVIOUS WORLDS.

Each world stretched across vast millennia of time. Each played host to a race whose civilizations rose to supremacy but eventually died or scattered, disappeared or transcended. During the time that each world flourished, those that ruled it spoke to the stars, reengineered their physical bodies, and mastered form and essence, all in their own unique ways.

Each left behind remnants.

The people of the new world—the Ninth World—sometimes call these remnants magic, and who are we to say they’re wrong? But most give a unique name to the legacies of the nigh-unimaginable past. They call them...

NUMENERA

Tales from the Ninth World is an anthology of three hefty short stories set against the evocative world of Monte Cook's Numenera roleplaying game. In these stories, you’ll get a peek into the lives of isolated nobles, urban thieves, and a band of adventurers unlike any you’ve encountered before.

The Ninth World is filled with stories. Come explore it.

NO Spoilers here. :) Great teasers, but very short. It makes me want to find out what happens to the characters. I hope they make full length novels. So I give the writing and uniqueness 5stars and the length 3stars. Round it off to 4. [...]

Entertaining and enlightening tales about the nature of Numenera – particularly the strangeness of the world, and the uniqueness of this setting. Shanna Germain's "The Taste of Memory" is easily the best story here, offering a vibrant and [...]

It is a nice anthology, the engagement with the tales is quite varied. I personally felt more immersed with the one written by Shanna, her characters are perhaps deeper. The stories are all interesting. For its price, it is highly recommended! [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
