Synopsis
A collection of science fiction stories from "the best writer in America" (Tom Clancy)—Hugo and Nebula award-winning author John Varley.
John Varley's unique blend of startling technology and genuinely human characters has won him every major science fiction award several times over for both his novels and his short fiction.
Blue Champagne collects eight thought-provoking stories from one of the genre's undisputed masters, including the Hugo Award-winner "The Pusher," and the Hugo and Nebula award-winner "Press Enter."

About the Author
John Varley is the author of Slow Apocalypse, the Gaean Trilogy (Titan, Wizard, and Demon), Steel Beach, The Golden Globe, Red Thunder, Mammoth, Red Lightning, and Rolling Thunder. He has won both the Nebula and Hugo awards for his work.
From Publishers Weekly
Although the promise of Varley's early work has petered out, he retains a remarkable storyteller's voice that supersedes his lack of good stories to tell. The reader is thus drawn into these tales examining the way technology complicates human relationships. From the computer and space flight to future prosthetics, the author asserts, greater options lead both to increased possibilities and to problems. While a few of the selections are affecting, the heavy streak of sentimentality leaves the reader feeling manipulated. Best of the lot are "The Pusher," about one solution to the loneliness of the space traveler; "Tango Charlie and Foxtrot Romeo," featuring a little girl alone on a satellite who has adapted to life with only a computer and a mob of dogs as companions; and the award-winning romantic whodunit "Press Enter."stet

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. This is the signed limited slipcased hardcover edition. On its copyright page is "FIRST EDITION" and the ISBNs of the "Trade Edition" and this "Limited Edition". On its limitation page are the signatures, with no personalization or inscriptions, of author John Varley and illustrator Todd Cameron Hamilton, with printed, "The Deluxe First Edition of Blue Champagne is limited to three hundred individually signed and numbered copies. This is copy" [hand written] "268". This book is in near fine condition, marred only by a very light bump on the base of its spine. Its binding is sound and square, with no spine crease. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn, with bright gilt titles on its spine. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover is in fine condition: whole, bright, unmarked, and unworn. Its slipcase is in near fine condition: solid and square, unmarked and unworn, marred only by some sunfade to its exterior. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description. Signed by Author(s).
