In Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author Spider Robinson's collection of stories you'll find the award-winning novella, Stardance. It's a dancer's dream of fame. The dancer is not the typical lightweight and not well received by her colleagues. It is not until she gets into space and in dire circumstances that she is noticed by the world. Will her dancing be remembered or forgotten? The tension builds until the very last page in this masterful tale. In the Hugo Award-winning story, Melancholy Elephants, a woman argues with an influential senator for the reversal of a decision that will affect all mankind. Can she be persuasive enough to pull it off? A man finds a girl jacked in to a sensory program for five days in the lead title, God Is an Iron, but was she was trying to commit suicide, or did someone else do it for her?
