About the book

The Human Equations

This collection voyages through a shared future history where science and discovery continually return to questions of character and choice. Its stories reveal how the Chinese explorer Zheng He made Earth’s first contact with aliens, follow a rescue mission on the aquatic world Welkin that forces one man to confront an old tragedy, and place an orbital-habitat resident between cultural tradition and the survival of his people. Other journeys venture inside a gigantic sea creature to save its unborn child, carrying readers across strange worlds while keeping humanity at the center of every equation.
