Cover by Rocky Kelley<\/p><\/div>\n

At long last, Rayguns Over Texas<\/a><\/strong><\/em>\u00a0comes out in an ebook format.<\/p>\n

“In spite of the title, which implies freewheeling space opera, there\u2019s only one raygun to be found in Rayguns Over Texas, an original anthology edited by Richard Klaw; most stories here don\u2019t take us off Earth, and most don\u2019t have anything to do with aliens (attacking or otherwise) or armadas of battling spaceships. That doesn\u2019t mean that the anthology isn\u2019t fun, though.” – Gardner Dozois, Locus Mag<\/a><\/p>\n

“I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I did.” – Bruce Sterling, from his introduction<\/p>\n

“I love the cover by Rocky Kelley (no relation)! Bruce Sterling provides a wonderful Introduction. Scott Cupp\u2019s essay on his SF reading is masterful. Neal Barrett, Jr., Joe R. Lansdale, and Michael Moorcock wrote my favorite stories in this collection, but there are plenty of other enjoyable stories here. Pick up a copy soon before they\u2019re all gone!” – George Kelly,GeorgeKelly.org<\/a><\/p>\n

Since the end of the Civil War, Texans have played an essential role in the history of science fiction. Acclaimed and influential writers such as Bruce Sterling, Michael Moorcock, Howard Waldrop, Walter M. Miller, Jr., Marion Zimmer Bradley, Gene Wolfe, Neal Barrett, Jr., L. Sprague DeCamp, Chad Oliver, John Steakley, and Elizabeth Moon all called The Lone Star State home.<\/p>\n

Continuing this proud tradition,\u00a0Rayguns Over Texas<\/em>\u00a0features 17 original and two classic tales that reflect the current creative state of Texas sci-fi, alongside historical essays and an introduction by Hugo award-winning, Texas ex-pat Bruce Sterling.<\/p>\n
