What is Strangers about?

Hundreds of years in the future, Earthmen have moved out into the galaxy of inhabited worlds, but only through the gift of advanced technology from alien interstellar traders.

This lack of communication leads to a powerful climax of tragedy and revelation.Gardner Dozis is the twelve-time Hugo Award-winning editor of Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine and the Yea
