The short stories in this collection cover quite a lot of different ideas. The Halo universe: terrorists capturing an interstellar ship travelling almost at lightspeed, using it for bombing planets (Halo). Mechanic remove-controlled dragons making themselves home in the Tchernobyl reactor ruins (The Dragon of Pripyat). Transfer of the mind into a machine (Making Ghosts). Retrieving an alien artifact orbiting a pulsar (The Engine of Recall). Aliens who do not know the concept of cooperation (Solitaire). |
