Book description
Joe Sorby, a high school student of a future century, has a longing for
faraway places that eventually takes him to a life of hardship and
danger on the planet Mercury and in the Rings of Saturn. George
Zebrowskis nearly forty books include novels, short fiction collections,
anthologies, and a book of essays. Science fiction writer Greg Bear
calls him one of those rare speculators who bases his dreams on science
as well as inspiration, and the late Terry Carr, one of the most
influential science fiction editors of recent years, described him as an
authority in the SF field. Zebrowski has published more than seventy
works of short fiction and more than a hundred and forty articles and
essays, and has written about science for Omni Magazine. His short
fiction and essays have appeared in Amazing Stories, The Magazine of
Fantasy & Science Fiction, Science Fiction Age, Nature, the Bertrand
Russell Society News, and many other publications.
