Deep Space A Novel and Two Novelettes

Richard A. Lupoff
Someday giant cities will travel through space, orbiting the sun or carrying colonists to distant worlds as they circle alien stars. These space cities resemble ocean liners more than battleships. Or they may develop complete, self-contained civilizations, producing their own food, housing, and entertainment. Forever City is the story of Alfonso Ivanovich Petrov and Mariel O'Hara, two members of a space-bred generation to whom Earth is little more than their ancestral home, a legend of the past. When Mariel's brother, Dylan, disappears on an expedition to explore the distant Oort Cloud that circles the sun at a distance far beyond the orbit of the most remote planet, Mariel refuses to give him up for lost. Along with Alfonso, Mariel explores deep space in search of her missing brother! Also included in Deep Space: A Novel and Two Novelettes are Richard A. Lupoff's acclaimed, Nebula-nominated stories "After the Dreamtime" and "Sail the Tide of Mourning."

Richard A. Lupoff
"I have long admired the things Dick Lupoff can do in the way of atmosphere and characterization in any sort of story-dark or light."-ROGER ZELAZNY "His books and stories, I can testify, having read a great many of them and published some myself, almost unfailingly display not only his intelligence and perceptivity, but also the grace and charm of his wit, the skill of his narrative technique, and the exemplary individuality of his ideas."-ROBERT SILVERBERG DREAMS marks the long-awaited completion of Richard A. Lupoff's epic trio of collections, following TERRORS and VISIONS. The stories range from Lovecraftian horror to Holmesian detection, from hard science fiction to whimsy, from semi-autobiographical recreations of past decades to images of the distant future, culminating in the stunning mini-trilogy of "Dreemz.biz," "Wyshes.com," and "Heaven.god." Whatever the genre or mood, these stories never cease to startle, delight, amaze, and-occasionally-terrify!
