Reviews

[James Pilchak · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read this along time ago, along with Distant Signals by the same author, so I can't get into too much detail. Well, not any really. All I can say is I remember enjoying them at the time, and that some of the stories pop into my head every once in a while. That means something right?

This is another good collection from Canadian Weiner covering his second decade of short stories.

There's nothing here that's ground breaking, but for a group of somewhat softer, somewhat Dick-ish stories, concerned more with the ideas of "what is reality?" and "who am I?" than the future of humanity as a whole, these are quite well done.
