A collection of stories from a master of modern sf, this volume will
include a number of original stories alongside stories which have
appeared in Asimov's and Amazing magazines but have never before
appeared in book form. All the stories are hard sf or intelligent
future extrapolation. Several of the published stories have received
Nebula nominations and were published between 1987 and 1990. Barnes
describes some of the stories as predictions for the end of the world
- hence apocalypses - and others as apostrophes, speeches addressed
to a non-existent being or to something which cannot understand
speech. All are genre expanding, intriguing and thoroughly
entertaining.
