Alternate Gerrolds An Assortment of Fictitious Lives

Everyday themes as diverse as exploration, the fight against evil, laboratory experiments, and self-improvement are presented in this new anthology of short stories from David Gerrold. Largely consisting of stories featuring an alternative history, and often written for Mike Resnick's Alternative series, the stories range from funny to horrifying and light-hearted to profound. In 'Franz Kafka, Superhero!' Kafka employs his unusual metamorphosis to fight evil throughout the world and take on even Sigmund Freud. Two characters who hope to better themselves experience 'The Seminar from Hell', while 'The Firebringers' features Humphrey Bogart, Gregory Peck, Ronald Reagan, and Jimmy Stewart as soldiers charged with dropping the first atom bomb. Taking an archaeological turn, a team of anthropologists struggles with understanding the artefacts of a mysterious alien race in 'Digging in Gehenna'. With wit and imagination, these pieces provide a rare and intriguing addition to any Gerrold collection.Gerrold, David is the author of 'Alternate Gerrolds An Assortment of Fictitious Lives', published 2004 under ISBN 9781932100372 and ISBN 1932100377.
