✦ Synopsis

In leading an expedition through the many-layered Jovian atmosphere in the hydrogen balloon craft Kon-Tiki , Captain Howard Falcon discovers a world where bioluminescent air plankton produce brilliant atmospheric sea-fire, predatory manta-ray creatures dominate the skies, and enormous jellyfish-like beings grow to be over a mile across.

The title story of this fourth collection from one of the genre's most celebrated authors ends with a twist--that leaves the reader questioning what it means to be human. This collection contains some of the author's most acclaimed short fiction, including "Cosmic Casanova" and "Sleeping Beauty"--stories that delight, surprise, and lead readers to ask big questions about humanity's role in the cosmos.
