"An enthralling anthology"
This seventeen-story anthology contains tales published
over the last twenty-five years in a vast range of
publications. The contributions are powerful entries that
highlight how capable an author Jack Dann is in his ability
to portray and describe the inhumanity of humanity. The
tales never look out into the extended future, as they are
either historical or present with even the near future
feeling contemporary. They rarely leave earth, but even
when Mr. Dann visits another orb, the characters are eerily
earth-like. Besides the powerful tales that run much of
the earthbound speculative fiction gamut, Mr. Dann includes
a delightful introduction and afterward. Anthology fans
will sing JUBILEE with this "best of" works from a strong
science fiction author. Harriet Klausner
