Science fiction
Eight short stories from the New York Times–bestselling, Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author, "one of the grand contemporary masters of SF" (Brian Aldiss). This is the first published collection of short stories by one of the foremost voices in science fiction today. This significant volume contains many characters and situations that later evolved into their own novels. "Mandala" features technologically perfect cities that eject their sinful human occupants, a premise that can be found at the root of Bear's later novel, Strength of Stones. In the Nebula Award winner, "Hardfought," Bear brilliantly handles the classic science fiction dilemma of human communication with aliens. Other stories include "The Wind From a Burning Woman" in which a woman holds the world hostage by controlling a giant asteroid; "Scattershot," in which the inhabitants of many universes meet in an undefined limbo space; and the Nebula Award finalist "Petra," a story of a world where chaos rules, stone moves, and the mind controls reality. Praise for Greg Bear "Bear is one of our very best." —New York Daily News "Arthur C. Clarke's most formidable rival yet." —The Times "[A] master of the grand-scale SF novel." —Booklist
