    Extractions: Martha Wells, The Death of the Necromancer (Avon Eos, 1998) Martha Wells is a writer who, in a very short time, has risen through the ranks to become one of the most impressive new fantasists to come along this decade. You want proof? How about earning a coveted berth on the final Nebula ballot with just her third novel, The Death of the Necromancer ? It's no coincidence either: with each new book, Wells has shown a remarkable progression of depth and complexity in her writing, avoiding the cliched color-by-numbers plotting that plagues so much popular fantasy today. In The Death of the Necromancer , Wells returns to the convoluted, courtly intrigue of aristocratic Ile-Rien, the setting of her debut novel, The Element of Fire . Make no mistake though, Necromancer is no sequel. Whereas Ile-Rein was just entering a Rennaisance-style period in the previous book, several hundred years have passed since then, and the cities are all cobblestones and gaslights. Progress of any sort, no matter how many years have passed in a certain mythical locale, is practically verboten under the conventions of the genre. It's startling and refreshing to find a writer throw those stodgy conventions out the window, and that's a big part of the charm of Wells' writing.

    Extractions: Martha Wells, The Wheel of the Infinite (EOS 2000) Maskelle was once the "Voice" of one of the most powerful "gods." It spoke through her, foretold the future and allowed her to find the best path for her people. That all ended when Maskelle was exiled as a traitor for murder, but nothing could ever hurt her so much as the ghosts of her own conscience and her own perception of guilt. And now she has been summoned back to the Temple City of Duvalpore in order to help put the world to rights again. The yearly ceremony of remaking the "Wheel of the Infinite" is a very deliberate and precise ritual. In order to ensure another year of peace and prosperity for the Celestial Empire, the ceremony must take place. If it does not, there can be only disharmony and ruin for all. The world and the Wheel of the Infinite are one, and this is the reweaving of the very fabric of the world. There has never been a time when the ceremony was not performed, and there must never be. If the image of the Wheel of the Infinite is harmed or blemished in any manner, so too will the world be, to reflect that damage. Maskelle is needed, for there is a storm of black sand spreading across the almost completed Wheel of the Infinite. Those who construct and care for the Wheel are the Voices of Ancestors, and every night they carefully remove the darkness and repair the colored sands, only to find the darkness returned by morning. And each morning, it is bigger and blacker, and destroying more of the colorful patterns which have been laid. Only Maskelle may be able to answer what is wrong with the Wheel of the Infinite and keep the shadows from attacking their world. Her magic is strong, even though it would appear that she has been forsaken by her Ancestor, and she is worldly in her wisdom.

    Extractions: Martha Wells, City of Bones (Tor, 1995) In a genre overrun by pseudo-Arthurian quests and fourth-generation Tolkein clones, original approaches to fantasy are seemingly few and far between. That sad fact is a blessing to new, fresh voices, however, as their work stands out all the more from the morass of homogenous mediocrity. Martha Wells garnered a well-deserved bit of notice with her debut novel, The Element of Fire , which effectively recreated the royal intrigue of 17th century France in a magical, mystical setting. Determined to avoid any sophomore slump, Wells eschews the industry-favored safety net of a sequel and instead stakes out new territory. New territory, indeed. With City of Bones , Wells invents a whole new world rooted in everything from The Arabian Nights to the post-apocalyptic themes of speculative fiction. Charisat is the greatest city of the devastated Great Waste, towering over the holocaust-ravaged world. All trade routes eventually lead here, a great mix of cultures and creeds that is as much Babylon as Casablanca. Naturally, it's a magnet of people too, attracting all manner of schemer, thief, businessman and trader. And Khat. Khat is a waste-dweller, one of a marginalized people genetically or magically, the point is unclear engineered to survive the hostile deserts and the mutated, monstrous dangers that live there. Khat learned long ago that survival is the first order of business, and if you manage to improve your lot just a little in the process, well, you're coming out ahead. Unfortunately, others want much more than that and are determined to draw him into a plot to venture out into the Great Waste, to revisit the ruins of the lost civilization that once destroyed the world, and unlock the mysteries of those powers.

    http://www.rambles.net/wells_wheel.html
    
    Extractions: Martha Wells is that rarity amidst the glut of endlessly repetitive fantasy series and recycled cliches she is a writer whose every book so far stands alone and features new and different settings, characters and ideas. Now, in her fourth novel of fantastic fiction, Wells succeeds yet again in producing a wholly original, brilliant conception sure to cement her reputation as one of the finest writers in the field, deserving to rank alongside such masters as Guy Gavriel Kay, Gene Wolfe, Jack Vance, Tim Powers and Tanith Lee. The Wheel of the Infinite distinguishes itself immediately with its setting, an invented parallel world strongly reminiscent of southeast Asia even more specifically, the glorious civilization of Cambodia in the 12th and 13th centuries. Its cities of Angkor Thom and Angkor Wat show whiffs of inspiration from Tibet and India as well. Duvalpore, the Celestial Empire's city of temples, is the site where every year, the wizardly Voices of the Ancestors must gather to renew the wheel of the Infinite, an image built of sand, (empowered with magical chants, visualizations and incense). The image represents the key to the shape of reality. An especially important centenary version of this rite is approaching but an inexplicable, ominous, stormy black region has marred the Wheel's representation and all the sorcerous efforts of the Voices have failed to restore it to purity. If the blight is not excised before the rite is completed, the world could be totally, undesirably changed. The Voice of the Adversary, Maskelle, who speaks for the power the Ancestors created to wipe out evil, has wandered in exile since a false vision years ago. But now the head of the Koshan Order of priests, the Celestial One, has called her back to the capital city of Duvalpore to make use of her unique, uncanny gifts. Maskelle returns with the friends and allies she acquired in the wider world Rastim's troupe of actors and the attractive, foreign swordsman/bodyguard Rian.

    Extractions: THE DEATH OF THE NECROMANCER by Martha Wells Avon Eos 359pp/$23.00/March 1998 Cover by Liz Kenyon Reviewed by Steven H Silver The real star of Martha Wells's third novel, The Death of the Necromancer , is the incredibly detailed city she permits her characters to inhabit. Seemingly an amalgam of Victorian London and eighteenth century Paris with a soupçon of magic thrown in, Vienne comes alive as a complex city with a long history. Into this background, Wells places a Sherlock Holmes character (Inspector Ronsarde) and a Moriarty figure (Nicholas Valiarde), but then turns the tables by telling the tale from Moriarty/Valiarde's point of view. The plot seems relatively simple. Nicholas is attempting to avenge the execution of his foster father, Edouard Viller, who was framed for being a necromancer several years before the novel opens. To achieve his goal, Nicholas has become the godfather of Vienne crime. On one of the last heists before turning his attention to Montesq, the villainous nobleman responsible for Viller's death, Nicholas runs across Doctor Octave, a spiritualist who may or may not be using necromancy, but is definitely using some of Viller's apparatus. Nicholas and his accomplices get sidetracked by investigating Doctor Octave and the possibility he is a necromancer. Wells has set novels in this world before, and the depth of her knowledge of the setting shows. When Nicholas and his companions move through Vienne, it is not a static city, but a city with a history. Buildings and streets are built on the ruins of older structures, long forgotten by the denizens of the world. The characters have histories as well. Nicholas can remember a time when the sorcerer Arisilde was not an opium addict. Arisilde (in moments of lucidity) remembers that he new Madelaine's grandmothers years earlier. When the plot's pace slackens or the mystery fails to entrance, these characters and the setting manage to retain the readers attention.

    Extractions: Dakin is a superb guardian of the Graham tradition. Her performance was loaded with tension and you believe she has taken her own life when, after she discovers that her beloved husband is her also her son, she pulls a rope around her neck. Kenneth Topping (another veteran, he joined the Company in 1984) is a respectable Oedipus. Yet the rest of the dancers – the chorus – were pretty shoddy. Even with the excuse of opening night nerves, the supporting female dancers looked under-rehearsed and, in places, not particularly versed in Graham technique. Dakin’s performance was, however, all-pervasive and so it was easy to ignore the surrounding shortcomings. The first three pieces showed the breadth of Graham’s creativity. I am most familiar with the work inspired by the Classics – it is always easier to read about movement that expresses an action or emotion surrounding a storyline than about abstract dance that expresses a mood. I saw how much more Graham was, and is, since this is not a museum company performing works carved in stone. It appears a vibrant, living company with blood still coursing through its veins and water flowing up through the roots. Where a lot of contemporary dance looks dated, much of this could have been made yesterday – it is very modern, modern dance.

    Extractions: I was only able to see the second of the two programmes by the Martha Graham Company, and by chance it was very similar to the one I saw when they were last here, at the Barbican in 1999. There were two main differences, making this a more rewarding experience than I remember from 4 years ago: the music was live, and the male side of the company looked very much stronger. The big surprise of the evening was the last piece, Maple Street Rag - not at all the sort of thing most people associate with Graham! I wasn't entirely happy with the central section - four short pieces one after another made me feel a bit as though I was watching a lecture-demonstration, and the three solos seemed to work against each other rather than together. But it's good to see the company back, especially after all the problems they've been through in the interim. Did anyone see the other programme?
