Alien Shores : An Anthology of Australian Science Fiction

Margaret Winch
(editor),
North Adelaide
:
Aphelion Publications
,
1994
Z296377
1994
anthology
short story
science fiction
satire
Comprising only seven reprints, the new stories are from SF luminaries such as George
Turner, Lucy Sussex and Sean McMullen.
'Several of the stories have an almost 1950s golden age
tinge to them - for example, George Turner's first-contact
story 'Flowering Mandrake,' in which humanity and aliens
find they have little in common.
In 'The Miocene Arrow Sean McMullen continues his
stories in which prehistoric cetaceans take revenge on
humanity.
In 'Kay and Phil,' Lucy Sussex produces a wonderful
vignette of Philip K. Dick in 1961 and the imaginary influences on his cult novel
The Man in the High Castle...
Fascinating is [Damien Broderick's] short introduction [to 'The Magi'], which tells of his meeting with a prostitute who
loves science fiction at a seminar at the Humanities Research
Centre at ANU (Colin Steele, SF Commentary No 77, p.53).
