Good Collection of Bova Shorts...

Mr. Bova weaves several different wrinkles in time with this collection of short stories. While some of the stories are quite short, Mr. Bova captures your imagination from the very start -- his words weave their spell around you, and you find yourself caught up in the story lines, wanting so much more when they are done. Excellent collection, and these stories make an excellent introduction to Ben Bova's unique writing style.

Inside flap description:

Here are ten stories of the future by the editor of Analog Science Fiction-Science Fact magazine; ten glimpses of tomorrows that are different, disturbing and very real.The stories in the collection represent several different futures, reports from the tomorrowland that lie ahead of the human race. The first story could happen next week - or perhaps it has already happened. Each subsequent story takes place further ahead in the future than the previous one, The time scale is logarithmic: the jumps in time grow larger between each story as they spin further and further outward in tie and space -- out to the very end of the universe itself -- and to the ultimate truth of human experience.
