“The Million-Dollar Wound,” selected for Gardener Dezois’ fifth annual The Year’s Best Science Fiction; “Waiting for the girl from California,” named “the gem of the entire anthology [The Touch]” by reviewer John Grant (Infinity Plus); “Iridescence,” voted one of the Top Ten stories of the year in the 1989 Azimov’s Magazine readers’ poll—these are just three of the 20 outstanding stories in this engrossing collection by award-winning author Dean Whitlock. From rural back roads to backwater planets, from teeming cities to the President’s secret PR bunker, from the serious to the absurd; each of these tales is unique, born of real-world experience reshaped by Whitlock’s questing imagination and antic cast of characters:
An alien who can paint on a soap bubble. A soldier whose wounds can always be healed. A woman famous for Seeing the future, while her true talent, healing, is ignored. Iridescent beings inhabit Whitlock’s dreams. Some are fantasy, some are science fiction, some are a bit political and more than a bit surreal, but one thing you can be sure of, every one of Whitlock’s stories will stir your emotions. Love them or hate them, you won’t be bored.
