This stellar collection of Jewish science
fiction and fantasy carries on in the tradition of its
companion volume—the enduring classic Wandering Stars—breaking
new ground with every story.
Trouble with mothers; invading aliens and
demons; the arrival of the long-awaited Messiah ... all these
phenomena and more are tackled in these tales from a creative
group of extraordinary writers. We go to the edges of the
universe, finding humor, pain and humanity in the unlikeliest
of places and situations. Filled with wit, vigor and sharp
insight, this is a fantastic feast for the imagination that
will intrigue and delight everyone who picks it up, Jew and
non-Jew alike.
