Synopsis
Before novels like Mother of Storms, A Million Open Doors, and One for the Morning Glory brought him to the attention of book-buyers, John Barnes was known to science fiction fans for his quirky, powerful short stories, many published in SF magazines in the late 1980s. Most of them have been unavailable for more than a decade. Now the best of them are collected for the first time, along with several new SF stories that appear here for the first time ever.
