Tales From the Far Side is a delightful collection of imaginative, eclectic short stories, some featuring humorous, chatty animals, not to mention mouthy inanimate objects.

Featuring Navajo code talkers, Tuskegee Airmen, hibakusha (disfigured atom bomb victims), and artificial intelligence (AI), this thought-provoking book is sure to captivate anyone who relishes a good, albeit far out, story.
