Dangerous Space

Dangerous Space is a collection of seven seductive stories by Kelley Eskridge, whose novel Solitaire was a New York Times Notable Book, with an introduction by Geoff Ryman (author of Was and Air). The opening story, ��trings,��takes us to a world that tightly controls musical expression and values faithfulness to the canon above all else. By contrast, in the title novella, ��angerous Space,��we see the full power of music unleashed to sexually enthralling as well as risky effect; original to the volume, this tale features Mars, the intriguing narrator of ��nd Salome Danced��(short-listed for the Tiptree Award), on tour with an indie rock band on the verge of breaking out. Closing the volume, the moving, edgy ��lien Jane��(a finalist for the Nebula Award and adapted for the SciFi Channel�� Welcome to Paradox series) delves into the importance of pain for the human organism and finds hope in the most unlikely of places.
