Palma, Félix J

(1968-    ) Spanish author, who began publishing short fiction, much of it fantasy or sf, in the late 1980. The first volume of his Victorian Trilogy sequence – comprising to date El mapa del tiempo (2008; trans Nick Caistor as The Map of Time 2011) and El mapa del Cielo (2012; trans Nick Caistor as The Map of the Sky 2012) – is an Alternate History tale set in a Steampunk Victorian England beset by reality-dislocations; H G Wells (see Recursive SF), an expert in Time Travel, becomes involved in what turns out to be a Changewar. The second volume introduces an Alien from outer space, whose incursion is described in a heightened Horror in SF language. [JC]
