Sci-fi and fantasy short stories, but against the backdrop of the Middle East and Islam rather than Europe and Christianity. I really enjoyed some of these; they aren't tracts. The characters are Islamic in the same way that mediaeval knights are Christian; it's just a standard part of their worldview but not actually hugely important to them. A bit like Despoilers of the Golden Empire by Randall Garrett. I hope more people buy Saladin Ahmed's stuff. Reading his Twitter stories about how he's hanging on the edge of financial viability is really depressing.
