Just Another War
by Gelder MeyerJust Another War, by Gelder Meyer, is a tale of good overcoming evil. The characters meet each other, if seemingly accidentally, just before the time of the First Crusade. The characters have the ability to communicate with each other via ESP and by combining their talents, they overcome the evil force. When they meet again, it is in their next incarnation. Their ESP ability is honed to the degree that they could communicate with others of their choice and they are now in the very early years of the twenty-first century. The world is on the threshold of utter destruction, whereupon these three are able to help their group to be among the powers to start a new world. GELDER MEYER was born in the Dutch Indies.

At eighteen, he went to live and work in Colombia, South America for a few years, before returning to live in Holland, where he and his wife have two grown sons and five grandchildren.

Just Over the Horizon (The Complete Short Fiction of Greg Bear #1)
by Greg BearThe New York Times Book Review hails this collection of thirteen dazzling stories and a rare screenplay by Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Greg Bear as a &“solid introduction to the oeuvre of a classic writer.&” Greg Bear—author of Queen of Angels, Eon, and Hull Zero Three, among many other hugely popular novels—has an ability to transform challenging scientific concepts into gripping fiction that has won him numerous awards and an avid following. He has written novels about interstellar war, human evolution, intelligent bacteria, international terrorism, and the exploration of deep space—but he doesn&’t stop there. This brilliant collection of Bear&’s stories, each newly revised by the author, proves he is a master of the short form as well. Just Over the Horizon offers thirteen mind-bending explorations of the near future . . . or just beyond the border of conventional reality. The volume includes: · &“Blood Music,&” a Hugo and Nebula award–winning classic and the basis for the novel of the same name—and the first science-fictional exploration of nanotechnology; · &“Sisters,&” in which high school students find maturity and family by confronting a tragic genetic destiny; · &“Tangents,&” winner of the Hugo and Nebula Awards, about a persecuted scientist who seeks refuge in a better world; · &“Dead Run,&” a tale of union truck drivers ferrying souls through Death Valley into Hell, adapted for an episode of the television series The Twilight Zone; · &“Sleepside Story,&” which Bear calls one of his favorite pieces, an urban fantasy tale that takes a music student by Night Metro to the Sleepside mansion of a magical woman of the night, inverting &“Beauty and the Beast&” in a very modern mirror; · &“Genius,&” the screenplay written for the television series Outer Limits, but never produced. Just Over the Horizon combines Bear&’s intense concern with the human condition with a deep understanding of science, resulting in a collection long to be remembered.
