Journey Through the Past and Into Infinity with ALLEN STEELE From the multiple Hugo Award-winning author of Coyote comes twelve astounding stories of science fiction (yes, old-timers, the pun is intentional). Twelve tales of adventure, mystery, and romance in the grand tradition by "one of the field's very finest writers" (Robert J. Sawyer). From the deserts of Mars to the distant frontiers of the galaxy, from an island paradise of the 1930's to an apocalyptic showdown between humans and robots on the day after tomorrow, Allen Steele transports you to worlds unvisited and events that haven't been experienced... until now "Steele is an author whose grasp is broad, and focused toward futures in which Homo sapiens has a chance of flourishing. For this alone, he is an important representative of mature Genre SF." --John Clute, The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction ..".eloquent... a wonderful introduction to Steele's work, in which he stretches his talents..." --Publishers Weekly starred review "Allen Steele... writes the kind of science-based, extrapolative tales that we all enjoy....

Good set of stories, old fashioned but quite interesting. (

Collection of short stories, nearly all of high quality and quite enjoyable. This was a galley copy with quite a few typos and even some fractions of sentences missing, but overall a very good read. (

The short stories in this collection were hit or miss for me but were readable. The two that stand out for me were "Alive and Well, a Long Way From Anywhere" and "Observation Post". "Alive and Well, a Long Way From Anywhere" deals with a business tycoon is has had enough of dealing with the human race a decides to become the ultimate hermit by making his home inside and asteroid. The dynamics of creating this life with minimal contact is engaging and sad at the same time. "Observation Post" is a good old time travel story that takes place during the Cuban Missile crisis and is told from the unique perspective of a member of one of the last remaining active naval airships.

Interesting title, reminded me of the H.G. Wells collection so I wonder if this is an allusion/homage to Wells. The short stories in this collection are a hodgepodge, an entertaining, well-written hodgepodge, with a few from Steele's Coyote universe, a few from his Near Space one, and an assortment of others. My favorites are "Martian Blood" and "The Big Whale", which is one of the funniest things I have read in a long time. Steele never has disappointed me, and he hasn't with this one, either. (
