da Vinci Rising

This was one of several stories I read electronically while on vacation. It's a novella that Jack Dann won the Nebula for (in 1997) and is related (I assume, but can't be sure, since I have not read it) to his novel The Memory Cathedral. It's a story of Leonardo da Vinci and his efforts to develop a flying machine. Great characterizations and a great story. I'm no longer familiar enough with the details of da Vinci's life to know how much of the story is "real", but Dann does an excellent job here. Purchased at Fictionwise.

Counts as one (1) entry in the 2006 Short Story Project.
