Om den här e-boken

Future Crime is a collection of six short stories and two novels by reknowned science fiction author Ben Bova!

From the Foreword: "Will crime always be with us? Yes, in the sense that every society sets down rules of conduct, and there will be members of every society who are not content to live within those rules. The important question is: How do we deal with such criminals? Execute them? Freeze them for future generations to consider? Or use our best powers to change them into useful, honest citizens? These stories examine some of those possibilities."

Future Crime consists of five short stories by Ben Bova--"Vince's Dragon", "Out of Time", "Test in Orbit", "Stars, Won't You Hide Me?", and "Diamond Sam"--and one cowritten with Harlan Ellison, "Brillo". Also included are the short novels Escape! and City of Darkness.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
