The second in a series of story groupings based upon a pre-existing work of art, in this case a Richard Anderson painting. The first such group, The Palencar Project, was published by Tor.com in 2012.Ken Liu is among the most prominent new award-winning Science Fiction writers of the last decade, and in "Reborn" his vision of a really uncanny alien invasion set in Boston, MA, is a stunner, with echoing reverberations, of love, identity, resistance and revolution.Judith Moffett is a poet, biographer, and SF writer who somehow manages to blend all these passions in a story about a new art form involving the science of dreaming, and interpreting dreams, and art. Give a poet a painting to write a story about and you get "Space Ballet", in which students at the Center for Dream Research struggle to interpret a cryptic precognitive dream, a group effort that may avert a disaster.Kathleen Ann Goonan''s stories and novels often evoke a deep desire for some form of utopian future, both better and somehow wilder that the present. Her story "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" is about an animal rights activist and a genius parrot, inter-species communication, and the dream of space, a great leap forward in several ways.At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Pennterra is a beautiful and fertile planet and humanity''s last hope for survival. But Pennterra is already inhabited. After warning other colony ships to stay away, the small advance colony of Quakers has adapted to life on Pennterra. Heeding the empathic warnings of the native hrossa, they have settled in a single valley, sharply limited their population, and continued to use no heavy machinery in their building and farming. But surviving under these conditions has left the Quakers little time to learn more about their native neighbors. Catastrophe or peace-Tanka Wakan, the omnipotent master spirit of Pennterra, will decide. - E-bokEngelska, 2015

The alien Hefn were not especially interested in humanity when they came to Earth; they returned to recover their shipmates who had been left on Earth centuries before—beings who had passed into human legend as "e;hobs"e; and "e;tomtar."e; Although all were affected by their arrival, few people actually encountered the Hefn. Those who did were changed. These are their stories.For Carrie Sharpless, the Hefn intrude upon her life when a chance question on a midterm exam uncovers her student Terry's strange encounter. When Jenny Shepherd stumbles across a "e;hob"e; amid the moors of Yorkshire, the resulting interplay of legend with everyday existence reshapes her own life, while in "e;Tiny Tango"e; ("e;a thunderstorm of a novella"e; said the New York Review of Science Fiction), Nancy Sandford's AIDS-afflicted life is redeemed through the intervention of the aliens.Spun around human emotions, threaded through with a deep love for the Earth, The Ragged World weaves these stories into a beautiful depiction of humanity, a richly worded tapestry of this ragged world in which we live. - E-bokEngelska, 2026

After the critical and popular success of The Ragged World, Judith Moffett returns to the future with this moving tale of the Hefn occupation of Earth and how it affects Earth's people--two youngsters in particular, Pam Pruitt and Liam O'Hara, math-prodigy students at the Hefn Humphrey's Bureau of Temporal Physics. On vacation from the Bureau, Pam and Liam visit Hurt Hollow, a place on the Kentucky shore of the Ohio River once homesteaded by a landscape artist and his wife. Orrin and Hannah Hubbell had lived there in harmony with the Earth, gardening and fishing, raising goats and bees, doing without modern conveniences—a lifestyle much approved of by the Hefn. The tradition at the Hollow continues, and the teens are drawn into it. The prospects of living peacefully seem distant for Pam and Liam, who must find peace both with the Hefn Directive and with themselves. But shattering events that befall them en route to Kentucky, and at Hurt Hollow itself, mirror the ways in which their bond with their alien teacher will ultimately avert a global disaster and drastically alter the course of their own lives. Time, Like an Ever-Rolling Stream is a remarkable novel by a writer able to imagine all this and make us care about it.
