Muses & Musings offers seventeen never before collected stories at every length from flash to novella, chosen from four separate magazines and three original anthologies. And as a bonus, there's a guest intro from every-conceivable-award-winner Robert J. Sawyer
Best known for his SF novels-including the InterstellarNet series and (with Larry Niven) the epic Fleet of Worlds series-Edward M. Lerner is also a prolific author of short fiction. This collection showcases many of his finest stories, featuring works selected from over a decade's output.
Alternate history. Parallel worlds. Rogue artificial intelligences. Alien invasion. Biting satire as to where the Internet is leading us. A Sherlock Holmes for the next century. Deco punk. Deep thoughts about, well, deep thoughts. In this book, you'll find these-and more-together with Ed's reminiscences as to what led him to create these seventeen gems in the first place.
Ahead, you'll find tales short and long of worlds near and far; you'll meet unforgettable characters and find the pages flipping by as the tension mounts.
- Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of FlashForward
Sure to have something to appeal to almost every reader of science fiction.

He is science fiction down to the bone, but he very often takes the serious' stuff not so seriously. Or he does, but he still squeezes a modicum of wit and whimsy into his subjects. He can catch a salient point in a couple of pages or explore a well-trodden road like AI with new insight.
