THE ALIENS ARE AMONG US! Where is everybody? Nobel Prize-winning physicist Enrico Fermi once asked after a discussion about the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe. offers strong tales by the genre\'s best storyt. . .
Definitely a fun one.--Analog In Space No One Can Hear You Scream: [T]he 13 tales in this collection blend sf with horror to demonstrate the resiliency of both genres .
From sapient ships to piratical sibling rivalry, pirate detectives to ingenious captives seeking freedom, from alien biology to orbital mechanics, the stories share some of the same elements--pragmatic thinking, moral complexity, loyalty, and betrayal.
No story is like another, yet they manage to form a whole greater than the parts.
Hank Davis has a fine sense for choosing a wide mix of stories, and this book is no exception. . .
Fans of literate speculative fiction will hope for more from these experts.--Publishers Weekly Cosmic Corsairs: Who doesn\'t like space pirates? (Well, their victims I guess, but that\'s beside the point.) .
Praise for previous anthologies edited by Hank Davis: About Time Troopers: The editors\' mastery of the military SF and time travel subgenres is evident in their thoughtful selections.
Please pay with local currency, of course.
And if any alien visitors want to check out the local natives\' speculations herein, feel free.
The secret visitors are revealed by such luminaries as Larry Niven, Poul Anderson, Spider Robinson, Neil Gaiman, and more.
Or they might be so incomprehensibly different that we don\'t even notice that they\'re here.
They might happen to look close enough to human to pass, or they might be masters of disguise.
And if they are here in secret, why are they here? Are they tourists? Anthropologists, perhaps? Or journalists sending stories back about the quaint habits of the primitives? Or maybe the extraterrestrial equivalent of hunters or fishermen? (Any odd disappearances in your neighborhood lately?) An enemy already within the gates? Or a refugee seeking sanctuary? Gourmets looking for exotic foreign food? Alien criminals hiding out? Alien cops looking for those alien criminals? No missionaries--at least not yet--and there doesn\'t seem to be a Galactic Peace Corps.
To sum up the Fermi Paradox, if the billions of stars in our galaxy have planets with intelligent life on them, why hasn\'t anyone visited us? But maybe they have, and we just haven\'t noticed--and that\'s the way they want it.
