Science Fiction Stories

This book will take you to the stars, and back again. Have you ever wondered what it's like out there in space? Well, these stories will show you. Just imagine, for a moment, that you couldn't see the stars at night. That you are far beneath a surface long built over. That's what you'll find in "To See the Stars" by Lawrence Schimel and Mark A. Garland, which opens up our imagination to the wonder of space and sets us on our journey. In this book you'll travel the shortest journey, to our moon, in "The Long Night" by John Christopher, and you'll travel to the farthest stars and discover new worlds as yet unheard of. You'll even find a few stories set on Earth, even though they're still space-travel stories. Try "The Chosen" just as one example. I won't spoil the others. I've arranged the stories so that we work our way through our solar system and beyond, though I've left a few surprises on the way. You'll soon figure out on what planet "City of Ancient Skulls" takes place, but are you so sure about "The Hunters"? Once we reach "A Walk in the Dark" we're way beyond our solar system, out there in the deepest reaches of the uni¬verse. Here you'll get some ideas about just what might be awaiting humankind once we travel far into space.
