Overview

Seven tales of mind, heart, and spirit from award winning science fiction author Lance Robinson. From Apartheid era South Africa to humanity's first foray beyond the solar system, from precarious ecosystems in northern Alberta to the shiny glam of time-adept neocolonialists between the stars, these are stories of possibility. This thought-provoking collection includes: the Writers of the Future Award first place winning story ""Five Days Until Sunset""; ""Communion"", a haunting story of guilt, empathy, and human connection; ""Money, Wealth, and Soil"", which explores the relationship between greed and nobler human motivations, as a collective humanity attempts to incentivize the restoration of the world's ecosystems; ""Problem Solving"", a witty satire on neocolonialism and post-modern blahs; ""The Thursday Plan"", a story of an alternate history in which Apartheid never ended in South Africa; ""The Gig of the Magi"", a satirical take on finding love while grinding it out day to day in the gig economy; and ""Chasing the Sun"", which continues the spiritual quest begun in ""Five Days Until Sunset"". Chasing New Suns is science fiction with heart.
