Visions : Leaving Earth (9780991642632)



VISIONS: Leaving Earth is an anthology exploring humankind's obsession with space and leaving the home of their origin, with an Introduction by Sam Bellotto Jr., Editor, Perihelion Science Fiction Magazine. A broad range of professional and undiscovered science fiction authors from around the world present imaginative visions of space elevator disasters, medical clones, low gravity surgical suites, asteroid mining, alien contact, and the end of civilization. The unique flavor of the international tapestry is maintained by preserving the differences inherent in working with American English rules, British English rules, and/or writing with English as a second language
