anthology: SPACE SHUTTLES

Down through the years, one of the basic premises of science fiction was that someday humans would leave planet Earth behind and reach for the stars. Now, of course, science fiction has become science fact, yet there still remains much to explore, and, as always, science fiction remains in the forefront of those explorations. The unique and powerful stories included in this special collection are tales of tomorrow's technology and of the men and women brave enough to pilot us along the unknown pathways to the stars.
