Space Stations
Space Stations

15 all-new stories of tomorrow from 15 of the best sci-fi writers of todayThe challenge and lure of space exploration has long been fertile ground for some of the finest science fiction stories. Here, fifteen of the best chroniclers of the day after tomorrow present unique tales of space stations both in our own solar system and far beyond.From BooklistThis neat little theme anthology contains a satisfying mixture of old hands' and newcomers' stories. In the opener, Timothy Zahn's "The Battle of Space Fort Jefferson," a space fort that is crumbling into disrepair as an unpopular tourist destination wins its first battle—finally—though only by means of the vagaries of decaying equipment. In Jean Rabe's "Auriga's Streetcar," a gem of a piece, an old "spacer" finds herself on the way to a distant star in the belly of an even older space observatory towed by unknown aliens. Robert J. Sawyer's "Mikeys" relates the work of those who go almost to the target and the unexpected event that brings them to the forefront. The closer, Gregory Benford's "Station Spaces," is a doozy about what happens when human merges with machine, and the building of human habitation on Luna. Despite, or possibly as a result of, a literally (i.e., spacially) limited topic, these stories cover a lot of ground.Regina Schroeder

Final Winter
Final Winter

'We're fighting a new kind of war against determined enemies. And public servants long into the future will bear the responsibility to defend Americans against terror.'George W. Bush's words as he signed the Homeland Security Act. Neither he nor anyone else suspected that a traitor could be one of those public servants.Deep inside Homeland Security a group of elite officers is gathered — from the police, the FBI and the CIA — operating in deep cover, their contact with each other and with other agencies strictly compartmentalised.One is Brian Doyle, an NYPD detective, chosen for his determination as much as his deductive prowess. Another is ruthlessly using the carefully gathered intelligence to unleash a biological attack across America.And when Doyle does work out that person's identity, it seems as though he will be too late to prevent the attack.'DuBois has his finger right on the button.'— MIRROR
