I did some volunteering reading and editing for this project, back before it found a publisher, so I am pleased to see that it is close to publication. I can't wait to see the final book.
But lets hear the official announcement from Extant! SF:

I am excited to announce the launch of EXTANT! SF's first project!
21st Century Thrilling Adventure is a collection of stories that aim for the passion and drive of Radium Age action and adventure, but drag that energy into the modern age.
For all they are maligned, the pulps of the 1920s and 1930s had life – they were exploding into an entirely new market and driving forward into brand new ideas. This collection features stories inspired by the action-adventure tales of the pulps, stories that range from hard boiled action, through tales of the weird to straight up fantasies of the modern world. The thing they all have in common is:energy.
These stories hit the ground running!
Featuring stories by:
- Misha Burnett
- Alexandru Constantin
- Nathan Dabney
- Tomas Diaz
- Schuyler Hernstrom
- Dave Higgins
- Jon Mollison
- Rawle Nyanzi
- Butch Pearce
- Ben Rodriguez
- Louise Sorensen
- Dan Wolfgang
This is an amazing lineup of writers for a first issue, and I’m excited to be working with them. Be sure to check out their websites and to search out their other work online – this project is going to be a wild ride!
All stories are in and in editing - I'd like to say the hard part is done (and done well by this talented crew!) but the truth is we still have the nuts and bolts of getting to press to deal with.
