Review
Library Journal : "From a darkly humorous tale of the power of words (Death and the Librarian) to a never-before-published response to events of September 11 (Ilion), Friesner's 12 stories illustrate the author's acutely sensitive vision of wonder in the everyday world... Known primarily for his 'Star Wars' novels... Zahn's short stories also deliver strong plots and memorable characters... Zebrowski's many novels (e.g. Macrolife) mark him as a visionary as well as a master of hard sf. The ten short stories collected in In the Distance provide a benchmark of his creativity... the author expands his concept of the human condition to embrace the stars. Part of Five Star's continuing commitment to showcasing the short fiction of the genre's most prominent author's, these three volumes belong in most libraries where short sf is popular."

Library Journal : "Four more titles in Five Star's new series (God Is an Iron and Other Stories/ Generation Gap and Other Stories/ The Lady Vanishes and Other Oddities of Nature/ Suppose They Gave a Peace and Other Stories) of short fiction by noteworthy sf authors offer a variety of tales that illustrate the depth and staying power of the genre...Most of the stories in these volumes have only appeared in periodicals. Libraries wishing to augment their sf or short fiction collections should consider any of them."

Book Description
Andrea Varney spent her childhood in cemeteries, finding a certain peace in the quiet cities of the dead. As the first whispers of the dead fill her ears, Andrea learns of a mission she must fulfill: to remember the dead who have lost their hold in the memories of the living. The world depends on it. Darren Jacobs feels something peculiar when Ms. Varney shakes his hand. Saying nothing, he looks at his fingers and wonders about the way she keeps looking at him. Drawn by a sparkling cloud of energy to a decrepit headstone, Darren feels the presence of the person below his feet and for a brief moment, knows everything about everyone buried in this hidden cemetery. Together, Andrea and Darren embark on an unthinkable journey to remember the dead. What they are doing has a higher purpose. Their simple plan is quickly changed, because something is determined to stop them. When the earth cracks and the first clawed hand reaches for the surface, they have to hurry.
Originally from Auburn, Maine, T. G. Arsenault currently resides in California with his wife, Diana, and son, Christopher.
