Heinlein's designation of the last years of the 20th century and contains essays from Robinson's tenure as op-ed columnist for The Globe and Mail and from Galaxy Online.

The elfin little Key deer, for instance - with a stevedore's mouth; or the merman with eczema; or Robert Heinlein's teleporting cat. For ten slow, merry years, life was good.

Then disaster struck. Fortunately the unflappable Lady Sally and her jinxed-genius champion, private dick Joe Quigley, have the assistance of Mike Callahan, Nikola Tesla, Ralph von Wau Wau the sentient German shepherd, and the mysterious and lovely Arethusah, who's twice the woman she appears to be.

Fortunately he's taken under the wing of Annie, a wise old midget who's been "under" for thirteen years now, quietly backstopping the park's maintenance crews.

Lady Sally McGee, employer of some of the most unusual and talented performing artists ever to work in the field of hedonic interface, designed her House to be an 'equal opportunity enjoyer,' discreetly, tastefully and joyfully catering to all erotic tastes, however unusual.
Like her husband, Callahan's Lady doesn't even insist that her customers be human Small wonder, then, that she and her staff encounter beings as unique and memorable as the superhuman Colt, whose banner never, ever flags Diana, the deadly dominatrix who cannot be disobeyed Tony Donuts, the moronic man-monster even the Mafia doesn't want to mess with Free sample chapters available from Baen Books.

He's many miles from home, half-dead, his left arm is gangrenous, and he possesses--like everyone else--a sense of smell times better than a wolf's.
Ahead of him, in the stinking ruins of New York, hides Carlson, the greatest killer of all time. All Isham has to do is stay alive long enough to find Carlson and kill him.
