Heat of Fusion and Other Stories

ohn M. Ford is an extraordinary talent, a writer who is as comfortable writing sonnet cycles as he is writing Star Trek novels. His novel The Dragon Waiting won the World Fantasy Award for Best Novel. A few years later, he won another World Fantasy Award, for best short story-for the long poem 'Winter Solstice, Camelot Station.' That extraordinary work is included in this collection. Heat of Fusion and Other Stories contains some of Ford's best published work, including some pieces that have only been privately printed before. From the title story, 'Heat of Fusion,' to the devastating '110 Stories,' here are 21 forays into the powerful, funny, and always thought-provoking mind of John M. Ford.

John M. Ford is the author of eight novels and dozens of short stories. He lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where he is currently at work on a novel, Aspects, a fantasy with steam engines.
