Description:
Ted Chiangs first published story, Tower of Babylon, won the Nebula Award in 1990. Subsequent stories have won the Asimovs SF Magazine reader poll, a second Nebula Award, the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, and the Sidewise Award for alternate history. He won the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1992. Story for story, he is the most honored young writer in modern SF. Now, collected here for the first time are all seven of this extraordinary writers stories so far-plus an eighth story written especially for this volume. What if men built a tower from Earth to Heaven-and broke through to Heavens other side? What if we discovered that the fundamentals of mathematics were arbitrary and inconsistent? What if there were a science of naming things that calls life into being from inanimate matter? What if exposure to an alien language forever changed our perception of time? What if all the beliefs of fundamentalist Christianity were literally true, and the sight of sinners being swallowed into fiery pits were a routine event on city streets? These are the kinds of outrageous questions posed by the stories of Ted Chiang. Stories of your life . . . and others. The widely celebrated SF author Ted Chiang lives near Seattle, Washington. Ted Chiangs first published short story, Tower of Babylon, won the Nebula Award in 1990. Subsequent stories have won the Asimovs SF Magazine reader poll, a second Nebula Award, the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award, and the Sidewise Award for alternate history. Chiang also won the John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer in 1992. Story for story, he is the most honored young writer in modern SF. Now--collected here for the first time--are all seven of his extraordinary stories thus far, plus an eighth yarn written especially for this volume. What if men built a tower from Earth to Heaven--and broke through to Heavens other side? What if we discovered that the fundamentals of mathematics were arbitrary and inconsistent? What if exposure to an alien language forever changed our perception of time? What if all the beliefs of fundamentalist Christianity were literally true, and the sight of sinners being swallowed into fiery pits were a routine event on city streets? These are the kinds of outrageous and engrossing questions posed by the stories of Ted Chiang. These are Stories of Your Life and Others. Hell Is the Absence of God is perhaps one of the best fantasy novellas ever written . . . [It] alone would justify the rest of the material in [this book]. But the collection does not need this kind of support. Summarizing these stories does not do justice to Chiangs talent. Seemingly ordinary ideas are pursued ruthlessly, their tendons flayed, their bones exposed. Chiang derides lazy thinking, weasels it out of its hiding place, and leaves it cowering.--The Washington Post The stakes are high in all of Chiangs stories, for their social and existential implications concern him as much as their construction . . . He puts the science back in SF--brilliantly.--Booklist (starred review) Essential. You wont know SF if you dont read Ted Chiang.--Greg Bear Chiang is one of the rare contemporary SF writers who has made his considerable reputation without producing one novel. His stories brim with originality and seduce with their complexity.--Ellen Datlow One of our very best writers . . . Chiang will astonish you.--James Patrick Kelly The first must-read SF book of the year.--Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Title: City of War
Author: Neil Russell
File Type: Mobi
Subject:Fiction:Suspense
Description:From Publishers WeeklyRussells uneven debut pits hunky billionaire adventurer Rail Black against an unlikely combo of villains. Stuck in L.A. freeway gridlock, Rail is shocked to see drop-dead gorgeous Kimberly York, entirely naked, escape from a nearby van. She winds up in his Rolls-Royce and soon reveals that she possesses information of a highly sensitive nature, which has made her a target. Rail wants to help her, but his only lead is the enigmatic phrase city of war, and theres little excitement in his efforts to glean further clues from the kind of offbeat friends and colleagues that only billionaire adventurers seem to have. Theres not enough action for a thriller and not enough intrigue for a mystery, and a glut of description and dialogue will leave readers snoozing. (Mar.) br Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. Review“The novel City of War is a first novel for Neil Russell and if this thriller is any indication of the style of writing that he has I can’t wait to read more...This is a must read for anyone who loves a smart, sexy thriller.” (Bestsellersworld.com ) “Like a James Bond thriller, Neil Russell’s City of War takes readers on an extreme rollercoaster ride of jet set thrills and chills... It would make quite the movie.” (Bookloons.com ) “Utterly gripping, City of War balances brutal murder, fascinating mystery, and unforgettable characters on a knife’s edge of exciting suspense that doesn’t release the reader until the last page. (Gayle Lynds, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Spymaster ) “Neil Russell has to be one of the finest, skilled, and accomplished writers in the country, a true master of intrigue.” (Clive Cussler )
