THE FIRST

A collection of 13 dark fantasy, dystopian, post-apocalyptic, and science fiction stories from award-winning author Scott Nicholson.

Features the six-story Aeropagan cycle where time is literally money. Includes an afterword and Nicholson's first-ever published story.

Nicholson, a 1999 Writers of the Future award winner, has published 25 novels, including the AFTER and NEXT post-apocalyptic thriller series and the comic books Grave Conditions, Dirt, and Little Shivers.
