The Final Volume in the Acclaimed Series!

For more than four decades, New York Times and USA Today bestselling writers Kristine Kathryn Rusch and Dean Wesley Smith wrote professional science fiction short stories that won awards and sold millions of copies.

Now, for the first time, they collect together 120 of their science fiction short stories into a six-volume set called Colliding Worlds. Sixty stories total from each author, with ten stories from Rusch and ten from Smith in every volume.

Volume 6 closes the series with a space opera theme, a genre both Rusch and Smith excel in. Smith starts the volume with "The Tragic Tale of a Man in a Duster" about a cowboy floating alone in the vast reaches of space, who finds solace in cooking trout over an open fire. Rusch closes the volume with "The Spires of Denon," a novella from her award-winning Diving Universe.

Industry Reviews

"The Diving Universe, conceived by Hugo-Award winning author Kristine [Kathryn] Rusch is a refreshingly new and fleshed out realm of sci-fi action and adventure." -Astroguyz

"Kristine Kathryn Rusch is best known for her Retrieval Artist series, so maybe you've missed her Diving Universe series. If so, it's high time to remedy that oversight." -Analog

"The SF thriller is alive and well, and today's leading practitioner is Kristine Kathryn Rusch." -Analog

"Kristine Kathryn Rusch is one of the best writers in the field." -SFRevu

"Whether [Rusch] writes high fantasy, horror, sf, or contemporary fantasy, I've always been fascinated by her ability to tell a story with that enviable gift of invisible prose. She's one of those very few writers whose style takes me right into the story-the words and pages disappear as the characters and their story swallows me whole....Rusch has style." -Charles de Lint

"Thunder Mountain by Dean Wesley Smith is one of those reads that defies genre classification. Take some romance, throw in a little bit of historical fiction and add a dash of time travel and science fiction and you have the basis for this interesting story." -Fresh Fiction
