Summary

Best-selling writer Orson Scott Card founded the online magazine Intergalactic Medicine Show in 2006. It has been a big success, drawing submissions from well-known science-fiction and fantasy writers, as well as fostering some amazing new talents. This collection contains some of the best of those stories.

There is fiction from David Farber, Tim Pratt, and David Lubar among others, also four new Ender's Game universe stories by Card himself. This collection is sure to appeal to Card's fans and be a great ambassador to them for these other talented writers.

Critic reviews

"The first collection of short stories from [the] online magazine...features noteworthy SF and fantasy stories from a bumper crop of talented new authors....[and] the stories from lesser-known writers are the compilation's real driving force....If the quality of these stories is any indication, IGMS has as much promise as the newcomers it showcases." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Card has taken the venerable SF concepts of a superman and an interstellar war against aliens, and superb characterization, pacing, and language, combined them into a seamless story of compelling power." ( Booklist)

What a superlative collection of spec fiction

There is only one story that I didn’t quite get absorbed by. Only one story that didn’t grab my attention. And it was a very short one. I’m so sad I am late to the collection - the website closed about 8 years ago. I would have subscribed for sure. Really good quality stories and performances

Love these stories

All of these short stories are great. And the stories from the Ender universe are especially great if you read the books.
