Worlds Next Door: A Collection of Science Fantasy

By Pat R. Steiner

Bridging the worlds of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Pat R. Steiner takes the reader to strange and beautiful lands, those on the outer boundaries of the imagination and those closer to home. Travel alongside Dorothia Weathers while she races to reach the Michigan Basin Space Elevator before the last cityship leaves Earth, meet the human who tells the fortunes of our alien invader overlords, and receive a holiday missive from a time traveling family from an alternate future-or is it the past? Fall in love with the young Billy Uphill, the patron saint of temporal pilgrims, missing objects, and adolescent indiscretions, relive the adventures of a grandfather's tale of prohibition-era gansters and ray guns, and meet Trickster, the shaggiest of shaggy gods when he decides it's time to take on a new wife, Tiamet. Enjoy a sunfilled day with Nokomis before the Seven Thunderers try to ruin her garden, travel a post-apocalyptic landscape where a used robot is the least of your worries, and ride Blue Thunder, your childhood dream bike, one final time. Nine wondrous tales of worlds next door. Don't bother knocking, the doors are open. Come right in, make yourself comfortable, and stay for a while.
