WHERE THE FLEET OF STARS IS ANCHORED by J Alan Erwine

More than anything else, science fiction deals with questions that begin “What if?”  You’ll find that J Alan Erwine asks a lot of those questions in Where the Fleet of Stars is Anchored.  What if your society requires you to kill 200,000 people?  What if a new lobe should sprout in the human brain [and what would it make humans capable of]?  What if we had to choose between alien life forms?
 
The answers that Erwine provides will keep you thinking about them long after you’ve read this.  And that, too, is the purpose of science fiction.
