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).
