β¦ Synopsis
In his Foreword, Rich Horton says: "First rate stories...Time Considered as a Series of Thermite Burns in No Particular Order is a clever and very funny time travel romp; The Beancounter's Cat is set in a far future with Clarkean science sufficiently advanced to appear magical; Walls of Flesh, Bars of Bone (with Barbara Lamar) is another look at the mystery of human destiny; Under the Moons of Venus is a remarkable, evocative homage to one of SF's greats."
Well-known editor Gardner Dozois has said of The Beancounter's Cat that it "...starts out reading like fantasy, and gradually turns into very far-future SF."
Also included is an original tale with Paul Di Filippo, Luminous Fish , taking Mike Moorcock's famous character Jerry Cornelius for a spin in the 21st century! Nine scintillating science fiction stories by a major writer in the field.
