The classic sci-fi story collection features eleven tales of outer space adventure from one of the genre’s greatest talents—“a precursor to Douglas Adams” (The New York Times). In “Fool’s Mate, ” a stalemate in deep space is broken by a crazy man and a set of fake orders. A new longevity drug may lead to an untimely end for its inventor in “Forever.” And in “Prospector’s Special, ” a lone explorer searches the deserts of Venus in search of unfathomable treasure. In these and eight other stories, Robert Sheckley reaffirms his reputation as a master storyteller and the wittiest satirist working in science fiction. Shards of Space also includes “The Girls and Nugent Miller, ” “Meeting of the Minds, ” “Potential, ” “Subsistence Level, ” “The Slow Season, ” “Alone at Last, ” “The Sweeper of Loray, ” and “The Special Exhibit.”
