Astounding Tales! (Also Amazing and Astonishing!)
Tell the truth: you flat-out love science fiction and fantasy. Time travel. Space opera. Alternate history. Doesn't matter. What you love is the story. The great idea. The adventure and action. That good old-fashioned science fiction staple, the Sense of Wonder.
We know exactly how you feel. Here's the best of the best edited by New York Times best-seller and creator of the hugely-popular "Ring of Fire" series, Eric Flint, a master story-teller in his own right, these tales are all taken from the e-pages of Jim Baen's Universe, the new standard in science fiction storytelling created and inspired by publisher and editor Jim Baen, whose nose for a great story made him a science fiction legend!
Includes Thea Hutcheson's "Fishing": Maruka fishes the underside of another universe for scraps of fashion and fortune, all while weighing a match with her intended. But something's off in his colors — and before the day is out, she'll have to decide which catch is worth keeping.
Love, survival debt, and a fishing hole in the fabric of reality.
