If the Great Author in the Sky is now creating my future, I only hope s/he's not planning to place me in any of the situations I place my own characters into. Still, once I've created them, I let them make their own decisions what to do about it, so it isn't all my fault. And these stories all involve critical decisisons... but don't they all?What Mad Diversion: A few decades together in the same spaceship can make even the best of friends a bit, er... edgy?Angel Unaware: How do you tell the humans from the robots... or the angels from the demons?View Through the Window: Even with the whole universe as a backdrop, it sometimes can be hard to remain uninvolved locally.Meeting of Minds: The previous colony was completely massacred. Questioning a three-year-old may uncover how and why... or may kill him. And some other morsels for thought.These stories have previously appeared in Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, Amazing Stories, Pandora, or Analog.
