First Light and Other StoriesPaperback, 13 November 2017

The title story, First Light, original to the book and revised in 2017, is the deep space launch of the first astronomical explorer ship in a series. The nine other stories-previously published in Interzone, Weird Tales, and Tomorrow SF, among others-range from the Southern gothic of The Woman Who Knew Better to the hard science fiction of Manbap to the present day fantasy of Greenwife, and include a light-hearted version of a great legend, One Summer Evening.
