Is It Now Yet?

by William Sanders

Here is a new collection from a veteran SF storyteller. In thirteen deceptively simple-seeming tales William Sanders examines such matters as time, mortality, military folly, and the ethnic minority situation in Alaska as considered by a Bigfoot bush pilot. From the outrageous 'Looking For Rhonda Honda' to the heartbreaking 'Jennifer, Just Before Midnight,' from the farcical 'Acts' to the almost unbearably bleak 'He Did The Flatline Boogie And He Boogied On Down The Line,' there is something here for every taste and every mood. One of the stories in this collection, 'Empire,' won the Sidewise Award for Alternate History; another, 'Dry Bones,' was a finalist for the Nebula Award.

Reviews

[Bruce · Rating 3 out of 5]

3 stars for a decent book that I found worth my time if I had nothing better to do. My first Sanders book was Journey to Fusang. On the strength of that book I have picked up several others from him, including Are We Having Fun Yet, Billy Badass and the Rose of Turkestan, and the Wild Blue and Grey.

I didn't like any of those as much as Journey to Fusang. The only one I would marginally recommend as more than a nicely written time killer would be Are We Having Fun Yet, which is a short story collection like Is It Now, but Better IMHO. So if you are thinking of reading Is It Now, get Are We Having Fun instead.
