Last Plane to Heaven: The Final Collection
Locus Award 2015.
Last Plane to Heaven is the final and definitive collection of award-winning SF author Jay Lake’s short stories
Long before he was a novelist, SF writer Jay Lake was an acclaimed writer of short stories. In Last Plane to Heaven, Lake has assembled thirty-two of the best of them. Aliens and angels
fill these pages, from the title story, a hard-edged and breathtaking
look at how a real alien visitor might be received, to the savage truth
of “The Cancer Catechisms.” Here are more than thirty short stories
written by a master of the form, science fiction and fantasy both.
This collection features an original introduction by Gene Wolfe.
