Acclaimed author Emma Newman returns to her Planetfall universe with a collection of 10 short stories set before, during, and after the four interconnected novels of the Hugo-nominated Planetfall series.

From a shipwreck survivor struggling to appease the monster keeping him trapped on an island to an elderly woman at risk from being declared a non-person, each story offers a new glimpse into this dark near-future setting. This collection features stories that focus on some of the characters from the novels, including Arnolfi (Before Mars), Travis and Carl (After Atlas and Atlas Alone) and Mack (Planetfall).

A must-listen for any fans of Planetfall, After Atlas, Before Mars and Atlas Alone.

Critic Reviews

"Newman writes with exquisite precision of grief, divided loyalties, and the struggle for self-actualization… gripping and sorrowful." (Publishers Weekly)

"Gripping, thoughtful science-fiction in the vein of Tiptree or Crispin. Unique, timely and enthralling… absolutely beautiful." (Seanan McGuire, New York Times best-selling author)
