Shadows in the Sky

Six tales of space exploration, some in the near future, others in the golden imaginary past of alternate history. Contents include Changes, In Saturn Time, Harvest Moon, Down in the Dark, The Rocket into Planetary Space, and In the Age of the Quiet Sun. These stories were previously published in Amazing Stories, Aboriginal, and Asimov's Science Fiction. Imagine what our lives might have been like if certain things had gone the way we all wanted, once upon a time. Imagine if things in the offing right now went as well as they could possibly go. Imagine what your life might be like then. Or, if you like, imagine things going just about as horribly wrong as the universe can arrange. There's a future like that, too, somewhere in this book.
