In the tradition of the old Ace Doubles (flip one book over to read
the second title), here's the twenty-seventh Wildside Double: DREAM
OF VENUS AND OTHER SCIENCE FICTION STORIES, by Pamela Sargent.
Sargent published the first novel in her "Venus" trilogy, Venus of
Dreams, in 1986; it was followed by Venus of Shadows (1988) and
Child of Venus (2001). For the first time, Dream of Venus collects
the short fiction set against the backdrop of the author's Venus
novels, comprising four stories written after the trilogy had been
completed. As Sargent writes in her Introduction: "Characters and
stories existing in the interfaces of the novels began to speak to
me." These are tales that can be enjoyed both for themselves and by
longtime fans of the Venus trilogy. DECIMATED: TEN SCIENCE FICTION
STORIES, by Jack Dann and George Zebrowski. Long before their
award-nominated and awarded stories and novels, these two writers
word-jammed together, learning the music of story writing and the
blood and bones of distinctive prose. And all these early efforts
were published Here they are again, together in one place--ten
riveting stories of science fiction--as entertaining as they were
fun to write--including the previously unpublished tale, "The
Standard Crisis Scenario"
With their sun about to go nova, the people of Epictetus III face
annihilation. Although the "U.S.S. Enterprise(TM)" has come to lead
the rescue operation, there is no way to evacuate a population of
over twenty million, leaving Captain Picard to make an agonizing
decision. Should he try to salvage the planet's children, its
greatest leaders and thinkers, or its irreplaceable archeological
treasures? No matter what he decides, millions must be sacrificed
-- unless another solution can be found.
With time running out, Data proposes a revolutionary scientific
experiment that could save all of Epictetus III, or doom both the
planet and the "Enterprise" as well.
