title: Five Star Science Fiction/Fantasy - Trouble In The Forest: A Bright Winter Sun (Bk. 2)
author:  Trystam Kith 
description: "From a darkly humorous tale of the power of words (<i>Death and the Librarian</i>) to a never-before-published response to events of September 11 (<i>Ilion</i>), Friesner's 12 stories illustrate the author's acutely sensitive vision of wonder in the everyday world... Known primarily for his 'Star Wars' novels... Zahn's short stories also deliver strong plots and memorable characters... Zebrowski's many novels (e.g. Macrolife) mark him as a visionary as well as a master of hard sf. The ten short stories collected in <i>In the Distance</i> provide a benchmark of his creativity... the author expands his concept of the human condition to embrace the stars. Part of Five Star's continuing commitment to showcasing the short fiction of the genre's most prominent author's, these three volumes belong in most libraries where short sf is popular."<br /> -- <i>Library Journal</i> (December 2002) (<i>Library Journal</i> 20021201)<br /><br />"...Part of Five Star's continuing commitment to showcasing the short fiction of the genre's most prominent authors, these three volumes (<i>Death and the Librarian and Other Stories/ Star Song and Other Stories/ In the Distance, and Ahead in Time</i>) belong in most libraries where short sf is popular." <br /> -- <i>Library Journal</i> (December 2002) (<i>Library Journal</i> 20021201)<br /><br />"Four more titles in Five Star's new series (<i>God Is an Iron and Other Stories/ Generation Gap and Other Stories/ The Lady Vanishes and Other Oddities of Nature/ Suppose They Gave a Peace and Other Stories</i>) of short fiction by noteworthy sf authors offer a variety of tales that illustrate the depth and staying power of the genre...Most of the stories in these volumes have only appeared in periodicals. Libraries wishing to augment their sf or short fiction collections should consider any of them." <br /> -- <i>Library Journal</i> (June 2002) (<i>Library Journal</i> 20020615)<br /><br />"Be prepared for a wild creative romp because this certainly isn't your father's Sherwood Forest or Band of Merry Men. This is top-notch storytelling that makes the reader beg for more." <br />-- Bette &amp; J.J. Lamb, authors of <i>Bone Dry</i>
