Robert J. Sawyer is a Hugo Award and Nubula Award-winning author of more than 15 critically acclaimed science-fiction novels.
"As fellow Canadian sf author Robert Charles Wilson points out,
Sawyer's fiction possesses a remarkable down-to-earth quality that
appeals to readers of all nationalities. Yet Sawyer's third
collection of short fiction showcases not only an irresistibly
engaging narrative voice but also a gift for confronting thorny
philosophical conundrums. . . At every opportunity, Sawyer forces
his readers to think while holding their attention with ingenious
premises and superlative craftsmanship." -- Booklist "At the end of
this book, author Robert Sawyer announces not to expect any more
short stories any time soon. Not because he doesn't like writing
them, many of the seventeen included here were requests for various
anthologies, but because novels pay better for the time and effort
involved. . . One can only hope he doesn't stay in novel format for
too long." -- SFCrowsnest.com "Sawyer's latest collection is highly
entertaining and thought-provoking; the book has something for
almost any science-fiction fan. It is a testament to Sawyer's
talent that it is not necessary to be a sci-fi fan to enjoy his
writing; this is a collection of great stories that just happen to
be set in the future." -- Quill & Quire
