From one of the greatest living literary imaginations and the celebrated author of Fahrenheit 451 comes a collection of never-before-published effortlessly beautiful tales. Recently described in The Times as "the uncrowned poet laureate of science fiction" Ray Bradbury has won numerous awards including a Pulitzer Prize special citation in 2007 and an Emmy. In this new volume of never-before-published stories, follow a space shuttle crew as they voyage sixty million miles from home, discover what happens when a writer "with the future`s eye" believes his friend to be writing stories aboard a UFO, and listen in on a couple talking themselves backwards through time to the moment when they first held hands. This entertaining and gripping collection is a treasure trove of Bradbury gems - eerie and strange, nostalgic and bittersweet, searching and speculative - to delight readers of all ages.
