Vernor Vinge is one of the most interesting writers of science fiction, a man who has been called “the most serious author of suspense prose.” He wrote not so much - the novels “The World of Grimm”, “Spearhead”, “Flame over the Abyss”, “Depth in the Sky” and the “Through Time” series, but each of his works was a huge success.

A special place in the work of Vernor Vinge is occupied by small works belonging to a variety of genres of fiction, but invariably bearing the imprint of his talent.

Before you is a great gift for ALL fans of Vinge’s work who have been waiting for the release of his new novel , - ALL of his short prose, collected for the first time in one book.
