Publishers Notes
Strange, haunting, bizarre, brilliant, and
transcendent are some of the words that describe Visions in Light and
Shadow, a collection of short stories from three-time Hugo nominee John
L. Flynn. Journey into his wondrous imagination to the last great
library where a robot librarian awaits the return of its human patrons,
to the planet Jupiter where strange lifeforms halt the progress of a
mining platform, to a ravaged wasteland where the last survivors
practice a strange ritual, to a warm, tropical beach where a creature of
the night stalks its prey, to the city of tomorrow where two homeless
vets struggle against an evil corporate raider, to a bizarre crime scene
which baffles even the world's greatest detective, and to other shadow
worlds which are filled with visionary, often-surreal intensity.
