SYNOPSIS: Down through the years, one of the basic premises of science fiction was that someday humans would leave planet Earth behind and reach for the stars. Now, of course, science fiction has become science fact, yet there still remains much to explore, and, as always, science fiction remains in the forefront of those explorations. The unique and powerful stories included in this special collection are tales of tomorrow's technology and of the men and women brave enough to pilot us along the unknown pathways to the stars. Truck Driver by Robert Chilson - She'd taken on a payload and sworn to see it in orbit, but no one had warned her that spacejackers might have a different flight plan laid out for her and her cargo. Pushbutton War by Joseph P. Martino - When computerized weapons guarded the starways, was there any role left for a mere man in the game of war? The Last Shuttle by Isaac Asimov - She'd go down in the history books as Earth's last shuttle pilot, but was she the herald of the end of an age - or the beginning? Between a Rock and a High Place by Timothy Zahn - They'd found the ultimate way to commute via flying skyports, but now a skycrash might bring them all down to Earth far too soon! Book your passage to the planets and beyond, with this and the other tales you'll find in Isaac Asimov's Wonderful Worlds of Science Fiction. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
