Publisher's Synopsis
The illustration on this book cover isn't abstract art. It's fully representational. It depicts a scene near the end of the second short story in this collection, where two star-beings, accompanied by humanity living in a conglomerate of 50+ hollowed-out moons and planets, float amidst the shattered space-time that's the result of a war with aliens who live inside a black hole. There's 12 short stories in this book. That was just one of them.
