About this ebook
Everydays, Somedays, and Neverwhens...
"The short stories of J.A. Lawrence were among the best science fiction of her time, and here they are collected at last.
The keystone of the collection is "The Other Side of the Surface," her dazzling re-imagination of her late husband James Blish's classic story "Surface Tension." It is an extraordinary companion piece and a superb work in its own right. But nothing in this fine volume will fail to repay the reader's attention."
--Robert Silverberg
