And Other Stories

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From stories about teleportation and an apocalypse on Mars to Twilight Zone-esque stories about parallel realms, dreamlike technological perceptions, and new worlds, The Second Sky and Other Stories is a far-future work that explores the depth of human nature, love, grief, existential threats, and a visionary look at the earth, the solar systems, and humankind's pursuit for survival. In "The Reaper Men," a man walks the highways of the dead to bring the data that could just save a pandemic-stricken world. In "Somewhere in a Dark Star," the crew of the Osiris starship must figure out a way to escape a black hole. In "The Last Days of a Martian Flower," a brother and sister try to tell the inhabitants of Mars that a planet is dying, despite the reluctance and conspiracy to keep them there. In "Second Sky," mother and husband try to figure out what to do as an alien space shift arrives on the earth. Through their grief over losing their daughter, they are face-to-face once more with the second sky of truth. Across many genres, stories, and points of view, Nordell takes us through the far future from horror to hard science fiction in these twenty-one stories, exploring the reality beyond the one we experience every day. Here we see the horizon of the other place, the future beyond landscapes familiar to us, and the place beyond the realm of known and into the second sky.
