Award-winning author James Alan Gardner evokes a sense of wonder that is
synonymous with great speculative fiction. Now, in his first short-story
collection, he brings together the numerous tales that have made his
reputation, ranging from the everyday experience to the cosmic, from
peanut butter sandwiches to space drives. There are stories of wonder,
imagination, humanity, and the unknown and tales that remind us of the
importance of possibility.
Some of the stories in this collection have won the Aurora Award and the
grand prize in the prestigious Writers of the Future contest and been
nominated for both Hugo and Nebula Awards, while others are completely
new and undiscovered.
