Science fiction stories from the #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Spartacus. From one of the most prolific and versatile writers of the twentieth century, The Edge of Tomorrow is a collection of tales that journey outside everyday boundaries to offer insight into our own universe. Featuring big bugs, cloned cats, and feral star-children, these unconventional, thought-provoking stories reveal much about the America of their time, when the Cold War and the nascent civil rights movement stoked unconscious fears and desires.   From "The First Men," about scientists tampering with genetic engineering, to "The Large Ant," about a man's thoughtless violence against nature, these stories by the author of April Morning and The Immigrants--described by the Los Angeles Times as "one of our very best"--are as relevant today as when they were first written.   This ebook features an illustrated biography of Howard Fast including rare photos from the author's estate.
