NINE SCIENCE FICTION TALES THAT AMAZE AND AMUSE

*Nine To Eternity: A Science Fiction Anthology *began when editor M.Christian invited the authors to submit “a personal favorite story: one that also, sadly, didn't get the love they'd put into it.” And so Ernest Hogan, Emily Devenport, Cynthia Ward, and Arthur Byron Cover have been joined by Ralph Greco, Jr., David Lee Summers, Jean Marie Stine, and Jody Scott, as well as M.Christian himself, to make a memorable reading experience. Full of not just endearing characters, vivid worlds, and thrilling adventures, this anthology is also a touching examination of what these celebrated authors consider their best work.

Skin Deep, a wistful science fiction melody of love and longing – by Emily Devenport: author of Shade, Larissa, Scorpianne, EggHeads, The Kronos as well as many other novels and stories

Spitzhkov Red, a haunting tale as real as tomorrow's headlines of comradeship and service – from Jody Scott: author of Passing For Human; I, Vampire; and Devil-May-Care.

Bombastic Christ, a controversial story of what happens when DNA from the Shroud of Turin is cloned – by Ralph Greco, Jr., author of Far Out Within and stories in anthologies that include The Infinite Spectacle: Short Stories of Displaced Reality.

The Great Mars-A-Go-Go Mexican Standoff, a rollicking future-shock interplanetary Chicano delight – by Ernest Hogan, the father of Chicano science fiction and author of High Aztech and Cortez on Jupiter.

A Murder, a lyrical, but heart-wrenching story of futuristic murder – by Arthur Byron Cover: author of East Wind Coming, The Platypus of Doom & Other Nihilists, and Autumn Angels.

Whoever Fights Monsters, a ferociously powerful reinterpretation of Nina Harker from Dracula – by Cynthia Ward: editor of anthologies that include Lost Trails: Forgotten Tales of the Weird West, author of The Adventure of the Incognita Countess, and stories in Analog and Weird Tales.

An Asteroid by Any Other Name, a classically inspired tale of rapidly approaching doom – by David Lee Summers: editor of anthologies such as A Kepler's Dozen, Kepler's Cowboys and Maximum Velocity: The Best of the Full-Throttle Space Tales, and author of numerous novels.

In The Canal Zone, a dreamlike tale about a mysterious canal whose location may not even lie within our own universe – by Jean Marie Stine: editor of numerous anthologies, such as Future Eves: Great Science Fiction by Women About Women, The Legendary Women Detectives: 6 Classic Novelettes, author of the novel Season Of The Witch and collections that include Herstory & Other Science Fictions and Nowhere To Hide And Other Mystery Stories.

Why Are There Buildings, Daddy? a not-far-from-home work of spec fic about a depressed young man who only ever wanted to be a writer – by M.Christian: editor of Love Without Gun Control, Hard Drive: The Best Sci-Fi Erotica Of M.Christian, Bachelor Machine, and others. His novels include Me2, The Very Bloody Marys, Running Dry, and Finger’s Breadth.
