What does it mean to be a hero with a disability in faraway galaxies, other planes, or remote futures? Meet the protagonists of Elm Books' first science anthology... A Deafblind spaceship captain chases an extraterrestrial signal into the deepest reaches of space. An autistic girl relegated to a distant moon finds herself in a community of protective machines. Cyborg soldiers pursue a mysterious thief, their malfunctioning prosthetics the only thing keeping them from death. A disabled athlete races a demon of the astral plane. In the big-money gaming world of the future, a blind private eye hunts a vicious murderer. A stowaway with a valuable mechanical arm face death and his past. A mysophobic alien leads a mission to find food for her race. In other galaxies, on distant moons and space stations, the protagonists of these seven stories, though labeled by their societies as different, wrestle heroically with the darkest forces of the universe. Editor Leonie Skye writes fiction and teaches economics and anthropology.
