description: Charles Sheffield has been publishing "hard SF" since 1977, and he has been widely touted for his impeccable scientific accuracy and foresight. But more importantly, Sheffield is a wonderful story teller who has the ability to make his characters and the worlds they live in resonate with readers. This literary one-two punch is the showcase of Sheffield's latest short story collection, which contains fourteen of his stories written between 1987-94. While the Nebula Award-winning title story "Georgia on My Mind" is clearly the centerpiece here, these are all first-rate tales by one of SF's finest writers.Contents:The Feynman Saltation (1992)The Bee's Kiss (1994)Millenium (1994)Fifteen-Love on the Dead Man's Chest (1993)Deep Safari (1992)Beyond the Golden Road (1989)Health Care System (1990)Humanity Test (1989)That Strain Again...
