Dimension Five

"What ifs" are the soul of SF - speculative or science fiction. Other questions asked in this volume include what if colonial history had been different and Europe was now known as "The Dark Continent", what if Neanderthals had been the more advanced species eliminated by the more aggressive Homo Sapiens and what if a happy pornographer made contact with a member of an alien species? This last is one of the two stories whose prime objective is humour but all seventeen ask the question "what if" in their different ways.

This 74,000-word volume includes a novella of 38,000 words and the other stories range from 500 to 6,000 words in length.
