Multi-award winning author Greg Bear established himself as the most ambitious and imaginative of the potential successors to Arthur C. Clarke with his bestselling space operas Eon and Eternity. Tangents is his first collection of short stories and includes two tales that won both Hugo and Nebula Awards: ‘Tangents’ a remarkable account of contact with beings from another dimension, and the original short version of his classic novel Blood Music.

About the Author:
* #40 in the Millennium SF Masterworks series, a library of the finest science fiction ever written.
From Library Journal:
* Blood Music won the Nebula and Hugo Awards in its original shorter form.
* ‘One of the few SF writers capable of following where Olaf Stapledon led, beyond the limits of human ambition and geological time’ Locus
* ‘Arthur C. Clarke has his most formidable rival yet’ The Times
Genetic manipulation and experimentation, alien contact, life on the highway to Hell, and the fourth dimension are a few of the subjects Bear tackles with his vivid imagination in this collection of nine stories and one essay that includes his award-winning "Blood Music," a new story entitled "Sisters," and revised versions of "Dead Run" and "A Martian Ricorso." Libraries that have missed the author's short fiction will want this.
