“Americans and Canadians share similar concerns about the environment and about the quality of life in the 21st Century,” says Mr. Mitchell. “The stories and the poem in this ebook explore these themes and offer a common ground of understanding for people from both sides of the 49th parallel.”

The book received a four star review from Sara Webb Quest in Inscriptions Magazine (November 4, 2002, Volume 5, Issue 34). The current edition includes a previously unpublished story, a novella that was originally published in the British Science Fiction magazine, Voyage, and a poem to round out the environmental themes of the stories.
