Welcome to Space: Complete Short Fiction Volume 2 – thirteen short stories, each with an introduction giving context, anecdotes, and a glimpse into the life of Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Robert J. Sawyer. This is the second of three volumes collecting all his short fiction.

Here are science fiction, fantasy, and horror stories from the downside of Utopia to the upside of murdering computers, from a war memorial in space to never-ending night, plus:

· An alien ship crashes in Sudbury
· A priest investigates a miracle on Mars
· Recovering the body of a dead cosmonaut
· First-ever publication of “Motive,” a planetarium show produced in 1980
· And (spoiler alert) maybe chickens weren’t meant to fly…

Space includes: The Hand You’re Dealt (Hugo Award finalist); The Blue Planet (Year’s Best SF 5); Star Light, Star Bright; Stream of Consciousness (Aurora Award winner); Above It All; The Eagle Has Landed; Motive; Ineluctable (Aurora Award winner); Mikeys (Aurora Award finalist); Kata Bindu; the original novelette version of Golden Fleece (Aurora Award finalist); Wiping Out; and Come All Ye Faithful (Aurora Award finalist).

The first volume is Earth: Complete Short Fiction Volume 1 and the last volume is Time: Complete Short Fiction Volume 3.

    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    Every story feels real, detailed and different. Some delightful shared technologies between stories; a hint of it all being a connected larger universe that only exists in print and of course RJ’s head. He has a fantastic way of making the complex understandable to the layman.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An Amazing Trek Through Earth, Space, and Time!
    Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2019
    Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase
    I just finished reading Sawyer's three short story collections, "Earth," "Space," and "Time." They are full of spellbinding tales, organized roughly by the three titles. Stories like "Flashes" (access to the Galaxy's knowledge might not be a good thing), "The Eagle Has Landed" (what's really happening to our probes on Mars), "Just Like Old Times" (a psychopath and a T-Rex, and the ultimate prey), and "On the Surface" (time-traveling Morlocks) will keep you turning the pages. Sawyer, who has won the Hugo, Nebula, and John W. Campbell Awards for his science fiction (one of only eight to do that), is a thematic writer - he starts with a philosophical idea, and creates a compelling story around it, much as they did with TV shows and movies Star Trek (especially Original and Next Generation), Planet of the Apes, and The Twilight Zone. If you enjoyed those, or just like a thought-provoking story with vivid and fascinating characters, then you will want to read these stories (along with his 23 novels, with another coming out soon).

    Robert J. Sawyer, Space

    These were thirteen more great stories by Sawyer, part two of a three-part anthology of this best short stories.
    These had to do with Space: battles with an alien race, and the invention of a planet buster, which existence must be erased from Man; the only priest on Mars who tries to find a way to have true believers at Bradbury colony; and my favorite, the supernatural reason why a cosmonaut committed suicide and an American astronaut who also becomes enthralled with its spell.

    Robert’s stories always have a quick world-building plot, and then on occasion has a twist ending similar to how Asimov ended his stories many years ago.

    Another favorite is a shorter version of “The Golden Fleece” which I liked a lot too.

    Highly recommended!
