Search Worlds Without End

Ranging from the unforeseen consequences of an angelic invasion (Robert Sampson's "A Plethora of Angels") to a poignant last visit by a modern-day Frankenstein's monster to its former home (Alan Rodgers's "Frankenstein Goes Home"), the 27 original stories in this collection provide a varied sampling of some of the best writers in speculative fiction. Contributions by established authors including Vonda N. McIntyre, Patricia A. McKillip, David Brin, and Greg Bear as well as new authors David Cleary, Joseph Gangemi, Marcos Donnelly, Deborah Million, and Mike Kallenberger testify to the continued strength of the genre. -- Library Journal
