    About this ebook

    Nancy Kress is unrivaled in her treatment of genetic engineering. In 1991 she wrote the ground-breaking classic novella "Beggars in Spain" (Hugo/Nebula) and since then has only enhanced her reputation for telling outstanding stories set in the near future and dealing with genetics.

    This collection brings together six of these stories written between 1984 and 2008, including "The Flowers of Aulit Prison," which won the Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award for best story.

    Nancy Kress

Her work has won six Nebulas, two Hugos, a Sturgeon, and the John W. Campbell Memorial Award. She expanded two of her Nebula Award winners into successful trilogies: the novella Yesterday's Kin into a trilogy (Tomorrow's Kin, If Tomorrow Comes, and Terran Tomorrow), and the novelette "The Flowers of Aulit Prison" into the Probability Trilogy. Kress’s work has been translated into two dozen languages, including Klingon, none of which she can read. She lives in Seattle with her husband, writer Jack Skillingstead, and Cosette, the world’s most spoiled toy poodle.
