Some men kill for power. Victor Moretti kills because he has no other choice. Eli Carter has spent his life saving people. An overworked ER doctor with a future everyone envies, he believes in routines, reason, and fixing what can be fixed. Until one night changes everything. Kidnapped off the hospital steps and forced to save the life of a wounded stranger, Eli expects another patient. Instead, he finds Victor. Beautiful. Dangerous. Unbearably lonely.

Provocative and controversial, socially conscious and politically charged, wildly imaginative yet deeply grounded, the thirty-two never-before-published stories, essays, and poems in The Last Dangerous Visions stand as a testament to Ellison’s lifelong pursuit of art, uniting a diverse range of science fiction writers both famous and newly minted, including Max Brooks, Edward Bryant, Cecil Castellucci, James S. A. Corey, Howard Fast, Patricia Hodgell, Dan Simmons, Robert Sheckley, Adrian Tchaikovsky, Mildred Downey Broxon, and Cory Doctorow, among others.

Can an ordinary life be extraordinary? It depends on the lens through which one views. In the case of the author, Marc Gellman, that lens is Shiva Eyes, and the life is the one he describes in his powerful and unforgettable memoir. It’s a heartfelt engaging work; a full portrait of a marriage and the power of love that the author promises will make you smile, laugh, and cry–not always in that order.
