LEGEND

Clarke County, Space

Clarke County is a huge space colony, owned by the company Skycorp and orbiting Earth in the mid-21st century. Over the years, the colonists and pioneers there have evolved a community identity. Now Skycorp want to develop their economy with tourism and this brings about trouble.

We're part of the cover-up! Did you know that there is a secret government agency dedicated to creating conspiracy theories? It's true! It's on Facebook! But it's not in this book. Our conspiracy theories are all fiction. At least, that's what we want you to think! Certainly, we did invite fiction writers to weigh in on conspiracy theories. The result includes (of course) the Masons and dragons (David Clements), the Bavarian Illuminati (Debra Doyle and James D. Macdonald) and the New World Order Shariann Lewitt). There's also the Shaver Mystery (science writer Jeff Hecht), cell phones and weather control (Rev DiCerto), Atlantis and Lemuria (Paul DiFilippo), Roswell (H. Paul Shuch of SETI fame), mermaids (Cat Rambo and Mike Resnick), ancient immortals who guide our breeding (Steven Popkes), quality management (Allen Steele), and of all things! Santa Claus (James Cambias). Not to mention the squirrels (Sarah Smith).

This collection of unabridged, unforgettable tales, written by some of science fiction s most esteemed authors, pays homage to one of the genre s most cherished story types. Whether time travel stories leap forward in time or slip into the past, they remain popular with fans. John Barnes spins a tale of intrigue as the principles of science are discovered centuries ahead of time while mankind is divided into classes (Com'n and Liejt) and the Irish people are slaves in Things Undone. Nancy Kress masterfully alternates perspectives between Anne Boleyn and that of historians from a distant future to which pivotal historic figures are taken in order to prevent otherwise inevitable bloodshed in And Wild for to Hold. Ian R. MacLeod sends three time traveling historians from the future to rescue Captain Oates from the doomed Scott party amidst the race to the South Pole in the early 20th century in Home Time. Tom Purdom sets historians from the future on a high seas adventure to document a 19th century British Admiralty anti-slavery patrol in The Mists of Time. Science fiction grand master, Robert Silverberg, slowly slides the fifty-seven year old owner of a Toyota dealership in the San Francisco Bay area backwards in time towards his birth in Against the Current. Allen M. Steele tells the story of how a U.S. Navy blimp crewmember happens upon time travelers while monitoring Soviet sea traffic around Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis in The Observation Post. Michael Swanwick follows the director of a dinosaur research center holding a timeline-polluting fund raiser located in the late Cretaceous period in the Hugo award winning story, Scherzo with Tyrannosaur. Genevieve Valentine observes the detrimental effects of time travel on the timeline through the eyes of a seamstress whose wealthy patrons are obsessed with their time period costumes in Bespoke. These unabridged readings by Tom Dheere, Adam Epstein, and Vanessa Hart are more than 9 hours in length on 8 CDs.
