The Ice Garden and Other Stories
This collection gathers eight stories as varied in space and time as they are in theme, and features such tropes as alien visitors, space opera, near future satire, cloning, and even murder-mystery. Conway and the Aliens is set in his popular Starship Seasons future, while Dimensions of Deceit is the latest tale in the Salvageman Ed series. The Trees of Terpsichore Three is a collaboration with Michael Coney. Three stories are original to the volume.
