Including classic science fiction from history by writers such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Mary Shelley, this anthology designed for junior high and high school readers also includes new contributions, lighter fare, and some outright humor. This anthology is designed to serve as a bridge for readers to gain appreciation skills for science fiction in literature, helping them tackle more complex stories as they proceed. Footnotes are provided to explain more difficult words, as well as concepts and ideas that were common in previous eras, but not common now.
When I was young, reading science fiction was a joyful, hopeful, sometimes scary adventure. For some reason, American Christian fiction has neglected this genre. I hope that this series of stories introduces readers to how thought provoking and outright fun science fiction can be.
