false<![CDATA[Tales of Old Earth]]>http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173069625m/243853.jpg2438532Winner of the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, and Theodore Sturgeon Awards, Michael Swanwick is one of science fiction's best authors and a master of short fiction. <I>Tales of Old Earth</I> collects 19 of his acclaimed stories, including one ("The Raggle Taggle Gypsy-O") that is original to this volume.<p> "The Raggle Taggle Gypsy-O" is a mythic, Zelazny-tinged tale of time-transcending, world-hopping humans, monsters, and gods. In the Hugo Award winner "The Very Pulse of the Machine," the stranded surviving member of a Jupiter mission may have discovered the secret of the moon Io--or may be going mad. In "The Dead," the corporate mania for profit reaches a shocking nadir of exploitation. "Mother Grasshopper" explores a planet that might be the weirdest ever to appear in science fiction (a huge claim, but true). In the World Fantasy Award winner "Radio Waves," a peculiar science-fictional ghost in a strange and frightening afterlife recovers his memory, and regrets it.<p> <I>Tales of Old Earth</I> has one minor but potentially annoying problem: it doesn't give copyright information for the individual stories, so you can't see where, or when, they first appeared. Other books by Michael Swanwick include the novels <I>In the Drift</I>, <I>Vacuum Flowers</I>, <I>Griffin's Egg</I>, <I>Stations of the Tide</I> (a Nebula Award winner), and <I>The Iron Dragon's Daughter</I> (a <I>New York Times</I> Notable Book); and the collections <I>Gravity's Angels</I> and <I>A Geography of Unknown Lands</I>. <I>--Cynthia Ward</I> 20860082000Tales of Old Earthtotal:30|5:6|4:17|3:7|2:0|1:0|3011947424385315839405619781583940563304Tales of Old Earth3.97http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173069625m/243853.jpg
