Science fiction tropes—you know them and you love them. They are the building blocks of sci fi stories, both past and present, and this collection of 14 short stories has them all. Dive in as a xenoanthropologist is stranded on a world with two alien races. Join a generation ship, soon to be populated with clones, on its journey to a new world. Learn how humanity may react to an alien invasion—and the resulting paperwork—and follow one family as they contend with time travel, bio-nanites, and the implications of an unnaturally long life.

Work 3 - Description
Spaceports & Spidersilk features science fiction and fantasy for everyone. It presents adventures on other planets and in imaginary worlds. Inside these pages you'll find magic, and strange friends, and even a ghost or two.

Editor Marcie Tentchoff says: I have never made a secret of my love of all things speculative, from fantasy to science fiction, from wand-waving wizards to blaster-brandishing space brigands. I love magic, adventure, strange creatures and otherworldly situations.

Now, like many people across Earth, I find myself living in one of those otherworldly, almost science fictional situations. The thing is, although I don't have access to strange alien tech or magical items that might help me make everything instantly right again, I do have a background in reading about similar scenarios. And I know from my reading that there is always hope, that things do get better, and that there will always be heroes who step up to make things better.
