Award-winning author Nancy Fulda returns with a collection of ten brain-twisting science fiction stories, each more thought provoking than the last. In <i>Nexus</i>, a desperate immigrant risks her life for the only friend she's ever had-a creature the universe sees as a monster. In <i>Godshift</i>, the famous scientist Pierre Lefebvre uncovers the secrets of the universe, and finds he has tampered with something far deeper than physics. <i>Castles in the Sky</i> follows desperate foster siblings caught in the crumbling ruins of a galaxy abandoned by its gods, while <i>The Cyborg and the Cemetery</i> reexamines death (and life) through the eyes of a cybernetic grandfather. <p>And then there's the title story, <i>Planetbound</i>, which is really best experienced without preconceptions. <p>PRAISE FOR DR. FULDA'S WRITING<br>Ms Fulda is an accomplished writer, easily sketching out new worlds and drawing the reader in... If you like thoughtful science fiction shorts, I recommend this -- Good Book Alert <p>When I review a story this well-written, I find myself admiring one expression after the other and wanting to quote them all, to tell readers, 'Look at this! Admire this!' -- Lois Tilton, Locus Reviews <p>As engrossing and brief and clever as a Twilight Zone episode, Fulda's story hooks your attention from the first sentence and stays with you, long past the startling, yet fitting, end. -- Tangent Online <p>STORIES INCLUDED IN THIS ANTHOLOGY<br><i>Planetbound, Nexus, A Soaring Pillar of Brightness, Godshift, The Cyborg and the Cemetery, Metamorphosis, Castles in the Sky, Recollection, A Starscape Slightly Askew, In the Fading Light of Sundown.</i>
