Scholar Brad Ricca assembles ten of Harris's greatest short stories here, including \"The Fifth Dimension,\" \"The Fate of the Poseidonia,\" \"The Menace of Mars,\" and \"The Vibrometer.\" Their ideas are as fresh today as when Harris originally wrote them a century ago. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e A wonderful collection by a little-known master of science fiction, this book will hold interest for feminist readers and scholars of sci-fi alike.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrad Ricca\u003c\/strong\u003e earned his Ph.D. in English from Case Western Reserve University, where he currently teaches.
