Lantern Road

Eight well-crafted, exotic short stories filled with that Sense of Wonder. In Lantern Road, a human slave in the far future commits the unpardonable sin of falling in love with his master's alien daughter, and flees into a universe of secrets, danger, and excitement. In Susie, a pint-size destroyer wreaks havoc on a community of unspeakable evil. In Harps, the even farther future offers haunting memories of the Earth that was - and can never be again.
