About the Author

David D. Levine’s short stories have appeared in Asimov’s, F&SF, Analog, Realms of Fantasy, and numerous other magazines, websites, and anthologies, including four Year’s Best volumes (two SF, two Fantasy). He’s won a Hugo (Best Short Story, for “Tk’Tk’Tk”) and has received many other awards and nominations. David likes to think of himself as a writer who takes the classic ideas of Golden Age SF and gives them a fresh, up-to-date presentation… the SF equivalent of a New Beetle or Mini Cooper.

David lives in Portland, Oregon, where he’s spent more than half his life, and is now happily retired after working for 24 years at Tektronix, Intel, and McAfee. He co-edits the fanzine Bento with his wife, Kate Yule, and his website is at daviddlevine.com.

Editorial Reviews

Levine finds a way to show that the sense of wonder can be alive in all of us. This collection makes it clear that David D. Levine is a writer to watch.

Internet Review of Science Fiction - Greg Beatty

These are the kind of stories that set the mind in motion; they are encapsulated vignettes of what could be, without belaboring the how or why—leaving much of that for you to explore in your own imagination. How he manages to do that, while still giving you a sense of satisfaction, of narrative completeness, is no less than… well, “magic.”

Spectrum Circus - Heidi Lampietti

Collections like Levine’s are more important to the genre’s creative vitality now than before. There is something important to science fiction’s future here—a transcending of generic boundaries, and even the constraints of a science that seems far less friendly than before to the idea of a “life among the stars.”

The Fix - Nader Elhefnawy

Levine is a multitalented author whose fertile, wide-ranging imagination is—as his title implies—equally at home in the fields of fantasy and science fiction. The best of these stories combine the mythic power of fantasy with the sense of wonder only science fiction can provide.
