Here is a new collection from a veteran SF storyteller. In thirteen deceptively simple-seeming tales William Sanders examines such matters as time, mortality, military folly, and the ethnic minority situation in Alaska as considered by a Bigfoot bush pilot. From the outrageous "Looking For Rhonda Honda" to the heartbreaking "Jennifer, Just Before Midnight," from the farcical "Acts" to the almost unbearably bleak "He Did The Flatline Boogie And He Boogied On Down The Line," there is something here for every taste and every mood. One of the stories in this collection, "Empire," won the Sidewise Award for Alternate History; another, "Dry Bones," was a finalist for the Nebula Award.
