Strange But Not a StrangerGolden Gryphon Press, 2002 - 297페이지 The 16 stories in this collection run the gamut from cyber adventure and a ghostly haunting to chemically modified romance and a time travel mission to save the world. The Hugo Award winner, “10(to the 16th) to 1,” tells the story of a boy in the 1960s who gets caught up in a spirited adventure that becomes a desperate attempt to prevent a nuclear holocaust. In “The Cruelest Month,” a grieving mother is haunted both by the past and a ghost. “The Prisoner of Chillon” presents a radioactive Lake Geneva overrun with cyberpunks seeking fame and fortune through software piracy. By turns humorous and harrowing, this collection highlights the short fiction of a lauded author at his best. |
