Synopsis
Long before he was a novelist, SF writer Jay Lake was an acclaimed writer of short stories. In Last Plane to Heaven, Lake has assembled thirty-two of the best of them. Aliens and angels fill these pages, from the title story, a hard-edged and breath taking look at how a real alien visitor might be received, to the savage truth of The Cancer Catechisms. Here are more than thirty short stories written by a master of the form, science fiction and fantasy both. This collection features an original introduction by Gene Wolfe.

Review
Praise for Jay Lake Lake's world-building is stellar, even with as idiosyncratic a narrator as Green, and the story she tells thrills.--Booklist on Green The richness of [Lake's] rendering of urban life as tapestry is genuinely irresistible.--John Clute Lake's strong storytelling skills and his ability to depict exotic cultures and create believable characters make this a tale that should appeal to most lovers of fantasy and the martial arts.--Library Journal on Kalimpura Lake deftly weaves complicated, stubborn characters into a plot that reaches the grandest and most personal scales without ever straining credulity.... This complex, lonesome, haunting novel will appeal to fans of Valente, Monette, and Mieville.--Publishers Weekly, starred review, on Endurance Lake wields big themes--magic and religion versus science, free will, colonialism, and a bit of romance. Publishers Weekly, starred review, on Pinion --Various
