STEAL ACROSS THE SKY (Tor, February, 2009)
is about an intergalactic crime. Aliens arrive in our solar system, set
up a base on the moon, and announce that 10,000 years ago, they
committed a terrible crime against humanity, for which they now wish to
atone. However, they will not tell us what it is, because they want to
show us. Twenty-one people are chosen from tens of thousands of
applicants to travel as “witnesses” to distant planets and see for
themselves what the crime was – and its consequences for all of Earth.
The novel follows four of these witnesses before, during, and after
their journey. A starred review in KIRKUS called the book “in the best
science fiction tradition, guaranteed provocative.”
NANO COMES TO CLIFFORD FALLS AND OTHER STORIES
(Golden Gryphon Press, 2008) features 13 stories, including the
Nebula-nominated “My Mother, Dancing.” The stories range from hard SF
to a Tom Corbett pastiche written for the Anaheim Worldcon book honoring
the late Frankie Thomas. Introduction by Mike Resnick.
DOGS (Tachyon Press, 2008). This intense
bio-thriller asks the question: What if dogs were the carriers of a
plague? It’s one thing to destroy a billion chickens in Asia because
they might carry Avian Flu, but quite another to ask Americans to
surrender their beloved pets, many of whom are not showing disease
symptoms – yet. The book follows an overwhelmed Animal Control Officer
and an ex-FBI agent as they attempt to cope with the quarantine of
Tyler, Maryland. The situation turns personal for Special Agent Tessa
Sanderson, and it’s possible her late husband was somehow involved.
