The Second 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. Aliens populate Volume 2 of the series, and they charm, amuse, or terrify, depending on the story. From “Sighed the Snake,” Smith’s quirky and funny Poker Boy story about the return of aliens to Las Vegas, to Rusch’s electrifying “The End of the World,” this volume of twenty stories will leave your head spinning.
