Jack Dann
Class/Genre:   SF AND Fantasy   Fiction   [Short Stories]
Five Star, Apr 2003, $25.95, 255 pp.

This fourteen story collection consists of tales mostly written in the 1970s and 1980s yet remains timely in their exploration of what is the essence that makes a human? Each contribution is cleverly written so that the casual fan has an exciting story to read. It also enables those of the audience who relish philosophy pondering the meaning of life. The stories run much of the speculative fiction gamut but peels down to what is humanity? There is obviously a Jack Dann revival going. Between this anthology and his recent JUBILEE work (released in December) we get to know the author and like what we read. Thus his myriad of fans have plenty of solid reading matter worth perusing.
