A monk praying over the cremation of a dead friend, who thanks to nano-technology might still live. A time angel created by humanity to preserve the memories of people from long ago. An astronaut betrayed by her best friend and stranded on a comet hurtling toward the sun. These are only three of the stories in Heaven's Touch and Other Science Fiction Dreams, the second short story collection by Nebula Award nominated author Jason Sanford. The nine stories in this collection span space and time as they explore the wonders and terrors and delights of Sanford's unique fictional vision of our universe."Jason Sanford ... has been one of the most original and adventurous writers of strange SF for the past decade." - Rich Horton, from The Year's Best Science Fiction and Fantasy, 2017
