A Special Kind of Morning [MultiFormat]

|
An aging veteran tells the tale of how he lost his leg to a young man passing by. It's the story of the great Realignment, that terrifying war that pitted the uncaring Combine against the radical Quaestors. This story is set in the far future and is another example of Dozois's ability to paint a starkly realistic far-future landscape that involves a vast array of concepts, all tied together with some of the most visual prose you'll find anywhere.

Horse of Air [MultiFormat]
by Gardner Dozois
|
|
Very strange story of an old man who is locked in a tall building overlooking the remains of a civilization falling into ruins. This story features extraordinary visual imagery through highly stylized internal dialog by the main character as well as some sort of external commentator who is never named, and apparently another commentator who is internal to the character himself. It's not for everyone--if you like dark, stylistic literary writing you'll like this story. 1970 Nebula Award(R) Nominee
