This science-fiction story collection explores a volatile future when Earth's colonies throughout the galaxy attempt to break free from home-world rule. A Grand Master of Science FictionHugo and Nebula Award Winning AuthorOn a spaceship rocketing toward the stars, an official council meets to discuss how to censor history for the benefit of a new generation in space which stories to preserve and which ones to discard forever . . . Golden-age hard science fiction luminary Poul Anderson approached the future with a mixture of excitement, hope, and skepticism. Tales of the Flying Mountains offers stories from a new war of independence and beyond portending a time when a North American government on Earth will take up arms against its own rebellious children colonizing the cosmos, then exploring the shape of the universe in the war's aftermath. Firmly based in hard science and human nature, here are seven excursions into a distant tomorrow, from the tense saber rattling preceding the hostilities to the establishment and growth of the independent Asteroid Republic. Whether he's spinning an imaginative yarn about the courageous crew of an unarmed state-of-the-art commercial space station using every resource at hand to battle a military incursion from the home world or chronicling a space colony's desperate gamble to thwart a government takeover by moving an entire asteroid, Anderson builds truly breathtaking worlds and imagines astonishing yet eminently credible future scenarios while infusing his unforgettable tales with intelligence, compassion, surprise, and humanism.
