You'll find bugs and buffalo, humans and aliens, creatures that have never existed in our universe and genetically-engineered ones that shouldn't. In "Seventy-Two Letters" by national bestselling author Ted Chiang-praised by Strange Horizons as "one of the finest representations of the SF subgenre of steampunk"-a discovery reveals that humanity has only a fixed number of generations to survive. A project is embarked upon that could save the species-or open it up to a most inhuman manipulation. A Joe Haldeman poem called "Endangered Species" encapsulates his concerns about war and its effect on the human race. And in "Listening to Brahms" by Suzy McKee Charnas, the last humans alive make first contact with an alien race of lizard-like creatures who appropriate Earth culture at their own peril. In Vanishing Acts, these tales and others "make the reader stop and think about endangered species-including humanity-which is, after all, the point" (Rambles.NET). "[A] splendid new original anthology." -The Washington Post [url] => https://www.hoopladigital.com/title/15619982 [pa] => [publisher] => Open Road Media [purchaseModel] => INSTANT )
