A pair of imaginative science fiction story collections from the #1
New York Times-bestselling author of
Spartacus, Freedom Road, and the Immigrants saga.
Over his long and illustrious career,
New York Times-bestselling author and prolific novelist Howard Fast proved himself a master of any literary genre, from historical fiction in
Spartacus to family generational drama in his bestselling Immigrants saga. Although his output in fantasy and science fiction is relatively modest, these two short story collections, reminiscent of classic
Twilight Zoneepisodes, demonstrate that Fast's imagination knew no boundaries.
The General Zapped an Angel: Nearly forty years after the publication of his first story, "Wrath of Purple," in the science fiction magazine
Amazing Stories, Fast returned to the genre with a set of nine supremely entertaining tales. In this collection, a Vietnam general shoots down what appears to be an angel, a man sells his soul to the devil for a copy of the next day's
Wall Street Journal, and a group of alien beings bestow a mouse with human thought and emotion.
"These stories amply display Fast's considerable gifts as a writer-his clear, concise, often elegant prose, his sense of humor, his gift of sympathetic imagination, and sheer talent as a storyteller." -
Tangent
A Touch of Infinity: This follow-up to
The General Zapped an Angel offers thirteen brisk and engrossing science fiction stories. In "The Hoop," a scientist builds a portal to an unknown destination, which the mayor of New York City hijacks to use as a garbage dump until the location's surprising-and hilarious-revelation. And in "The Egg," set three thousand years in the future, a research team discovers an egg, something they have never seen before, cryogenically frozen in a nuclear bunker.
"Fast, a master of economy... spins his stories quickly and most effectively." -Associated Press
