A collection of fifteen novellettes and novellas by Patty Jansen. This collection includes the Writers of the Future winning story This Peaceful State Of War, as well as fiction published in Analog Science Fiction and Fact. Many of the stories take place in established worlds. Although the stories all stand alone, they explain aspects that are linked to novels, like the ISF-Allion world. Learn why Charlotte West became the head of an army. See how mischievous Ari is when he is fifteen. Learn what happened to Hadie Kessler on Titan. Or, in the Earth-gamra world, learn how Hedron was settled and why the people there are different. Make sure you don't miss the 40,000-word absurd zombie novella Looking For Daddy.
