Three Great Authors--Three Great Science Fiction Stories
A Strand in the Web
The New York Times bestselling fantasy author Anne Bishop makes her
U.S. debut in science fiction with this engaging futuristic novella. The
Restorers travel the universe fulfilling a purpose handed down through
the generations. They live and die aboard city-ships, never knowing the
worlds they create and save. What begins as a disastrous training
exercise in creating and balancing ecosystems becomes an unexpected
fight for survival. The only hope may be the secret project of an
untried Restorer team.
Host of Leeches
Award-winning author James Alan Gardner pens a wonderfully imaginative
tale, in which a young woman wakes to find herself the sole human on an
orbiting, mechanical space station. To find a way home, she must
navigate the dangerous politics of war between opposing robot leaders.
Stranded
Popular urban fantasy writer Anthony Francis (Dakota Frost, Skindancer
series) explores the clash of ethics and survival when a young,
genetically engineered centauress from the ultra-advanced Alliance lays
claim to a rare, strategic garden planet, only to find herself captured
by a band of rag-tag Frontier refugees who've crashed their vintage ship
on her unexpectedly hostile world.
On the edge, all things are possible....
