Overview:
From the End of the Twentieth Century is the 1997 Boskone book by Guest of Honor John M. Ford. Among the pieces collected are short fiction and poetry produced over a twenty-year period for magazines and anthologies, including several items released only in limited edition printings. Included is a new story, “Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail”, written expressly for this collection.
Also presented here are three new essays: “From the End of the Twentieth Century: A Discursion on Trains, Theatre, and Fantasy”, and “Rules of Engagement”; and “To the Tsiolkovsky Station”, a technical discussion of the Lunar Transit System of Growing Up Weightless, Ford’s latest science fiction novel, with a system map and related graphic material.
The introduction to this collection is by noted writer and Sandman creator Neil Gaiman.
Heat of Fusion and Other Stories collects stories and poems written over the course of two decades. It includes award winners and award nominees, as well as some rarities, amusements, and astonishments.
Here are short stories such as “Chromatic Aberration,” “Preflash,” “Erase/Record/Play,” and the title story, “Heat of Fusion,” that take us from the near past to the near future, and on into worlds of wonder. And there are poems—the award-winner “Winter Solstice, Camelot Station,” plus the amazing “Cosmology: A User’s Manual,” the rare “The Man in the Golden Mask,” and the moving “110 Stories,” which has never been published in book form.
Twenty-two works in all, gifts from the talent that Robert Jordan calls “the best writer in America, bar none.”
