Book Description
The master of literary science fiction returns with this dazzling new collection. Michael Swanwick takes us on a whirlwind journey across the globe and across time and space, where magic and science exist in possibilities that are not of this world. These tales are intimate in their telling, galactic in their scope, and delightfully sesquipedalian in their verbiage. Join the caravan through Swanwick's worlds and into the playground of his mind. Travel from Norway to Russia and America to Ancient Gehenna. Discover a calculus problem that rocks the ages and robots who both nurture and kill. Meet a magical horse who protects the innocent, a semi-repentant troll, a savvy teenager who takes on the Devil, and time travelers from the Mesozoic who party till the end of time...

Book Description
An unabridged collection of the “best of the best” science fiction stories written in 2011 by current and emerging masters of the genre, edited by Allan Kaster. In “Dying Young,” by Peter M. Ball, cyborgs, clones and post-humans collide with a dragon bent on revenge in a post-apocalptic space western. “Martian Heart,” by John Barnes, chronicles a teenage couple taken to Mars as indentured servants in a “rags to riches” tale. In “Canterbury Hollow,” by Chris Lawson, two lovers on a planet orbiting a killer sun share their few remaining weeks together before they die. “The Choice,” by Paul McAuley, set in the author’s Jackaroo universe, follows two boys who set sail to investigate a beached alien vessel on the English coast. In “After the Apocalypse,” by Maureen McHugh, a mother and daughter traverse a ravaged U.S. in a tale that takes on McCarthy’s, The Road, from a female viewpoint. “Purple,” by Robert Reed, tells of a blind and maimed young man convalescing in an off-world menagerie of wayward alien species, prior to returning to Earth. In “Laika’s Ghost,” by Karl Schroeder, a Russian and an American search the steppes of the former U.S.S.R. for metastable weapons that terrorists could use to make nuclear bombs. “Bit Rot,” by Charles Stross, follows post-humans struggling to survive after their generation ship is struck by a Magnetar ray in this clever zombies-in-space tale. In “For I Have Laid Me Down on The Stone of Loneliness and I’ll Not Be Back Again,” by Michael Swanwick, Irishmen plot to strike back against alien occupiers by enlisting an Irish American tourist to their cause. Finally, Steve Rasnic Tem, tells of a young man awakened from suspended animation, on a future Earth, with the technological know-how of plant-like aliens in “At Play in the Fields.”

Book Description
The Last Starship from 51 Pegasi d—Going home is not an option. When planetary revolt and the collapsing interstellar Empire threaten to isolate three million colonists on Chrysaor of the 51 Pegasi system, thin resources provide only a few vessels for loyalist to return to the safety of the Emperor's Law on Earth. As a result, not all who want to escape will be able to go home. The SS Atvadis will be the last starship to leave Chrysaor. Against this backdrop, the soon-to-be-ex governor attempts to quell the ambition of a rebellious local general, who happens to be his ex-wife. The exiled blacksheep cousin of the Emperor unwillingly inherits the command of the local naval base when all higher ranking personnel evacuate. And someone seeks to influence the outcome of the changing government by activating a seventy-eight year-old sleeper assassin. The paths of these competitors intersect while awaiting the imminent departure of The Last Starship from 51 Pegasi D. As a bonus, this book also includes four previously published stories: Intent to Occupy—It's not where you go; it's who you go with. Philosophy—You need more than luck to survive an interplanetary war. You need a philosophy. His Brother was an Only Child—Nothing like the comfort of close family in difficult times. Hire Education—Behind on your student loan? Don't let them repossess your education.
