Book Preview<\/h3>\n

Elizabeth Bear is the 2005 John W. Campbell Award winner. Her most recent novel, Dust<\/i> (Bantam Spectra), is the first in a series she describes as \u201cAmber: Gormenghast, Upstairs: Downstairs. In space!\u201d The author lives near Hartford with a presumptuous cat. Her New England heritage is apparent in this skilful evocation of… <\/p>\n

\u201cWell, now, Professor Harding,\u201d the fisherman says, as his Bluebird<\/i> skips across Penobscot Bay, \u201cI don\u2019t know about that. The jellies don\u2019t trouble with us, and we don\u2019t trouble with them.\u201d <\/p>\n

He\u2019s not much older than forty, but wizened, his hands work-roughened and his face reminiscent of saddle-leather, in texture and in hue. Professor Harding\u2019s age, and Harding watches him with concealed interest as he works the Bluebird<\/i>\u2019s engine. He might be a veteran of the Great War, as Harding is. <\/p>\n

He doesn\u2019t mention it. It wouldn\u2019t establish camaraderie: they wouldn\u2019t have fought in the same units or watched their buddies die in the same trenches. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s not the way it works, not with a Maine fisherman who would shake his head and not extend his hand to shake, and say, between pensive chaws on his tobacco, \u201cDoctor<\/i> Harding? Well, huh. I never met a colored professor before,\u201d and then shoot down all of Harding\u2019s attempts to open conversation about the near-riots provoked by a fantastical radio drama about an alien invasion of New Jersey less than a fortnight before. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
