To the Stars

An Anthology
Dragon-like creatures live peacefully together with their delicate, furred symbionts. A freighter pilot and his ship have an unlikely romance. A runner questions the humanity of the athletes he watches at the track. Civilizations come face to face, yet fail to recognize one another. And finally, man reaches for the edge of the universe—and touches the other side.

“To the Stars.” It’s been the goal of scientists, writers, and dreamers for centuries, and now humanity stands at the cusp of making interstellar space travel a reality. In this Dodge/Dodge science fiction anthology, different possibilities are explored, from those just beyond tomorrow to the wildly distant future. While some explorations yield only a lonely universe, other times they lead to the discovery of a crowded cosmos. And with each encounter, they dig further into the nature of humanity, the discovery of alien life, and the exquisite lure of the unknown.
