  <about><![CDATA[Jesse Gordon currently resides in southern California, though he has lived in places all over the United States, and has collected more than his fair share of stories over the years. As an author, his career began in the fourth grade (read: a binder full of Star Trek vignettes). Since then he has written over 40 short stories, novelettes, and novellas. His novels include Time Chaser, The Knack, Stories from the Steel Garden, and Heroes' Day. He has also compiled a pair of anthologies: The Midnight Recollections and The Reformed Citizen.<br/><br/>His favorite sorts of stories are character-oriented, with the fantasy or sci-fi aspect as a garnish. Social science fiction is a big plus. Favorite authors include Piers Anthony, Ray Bradbury, and Graham Joyce. Favorite musicians: Keiko Matsui, Porcupine Tree, and Schiller. If he had a single wish, it would be for Vangelis or Tangerine Dream to tour the States.]]></about>

    <![CDATA[While 2005's The Midnight Recollections served as an introductory sampling of Gordon's short story work, this new collection of mostly novellas and novelettes delves specifically into the dark, the introspective, and the surreal. Most of the material presented herein comes in the form of rare and unpublished gems sharing similar themes of societal idiosyncrasies. The Reformed Citizen could be classified as &quot;social science fiction&quot; - with a devious twist. As usual, Gordon's ideas are potent and varied, unabashedly frank, his characters well-developed. Included in this volume: Distributed Logic; Line 43; The Ninth Life of Vincent Nguyen; A Whisper from the Mirror; Fogy; The Path Between; Arrival. NOTE: For mature readers; contains sexual/violent content.]]>

    <![CDATA[Richard Doroschenko is a diligent worker and a kind-hearted resident of the Steel Garden manufacturing campus. He is also a storyteller with the ability to frame people, places, and events in such a way that the dismal mediocrity of everyday life becomes something bearable. This novel chronicles Richard's experiences during Earth's Sol Union days, when humankind is caught in a decades long galactic war that threatens to extinguish the human spirit once and for all-but Richard has a unique point of view, and he soon learns that his storytelling ability is more than just make-believe...]]>

    <![CDATA[For gymnast Monica Sardinia, the chance to compete during Heroes’ Day is a dream come true. Drafted as team captain of America’s precocious new national squad, she heads to the Olympus Space Station to train under none other than legend (and former Hero), Darren Hades. But no opportunity comes without a price, and Monica soon finds that in order to compete as a senior she’ll have to do more than just master her skills, for in the world of the Patriot elite scores are the lifeblood of the economy, and the slightest misstep can send ripples across the globe.]]>
