PRAISE FOR ZION'S FICTION
"Zion's Fiction will supply a distinctive bright line to the spectrum of futuristic fiction, which stands in sore need of broadening, in the cause of promoting cross-cultural understanding as well as showcasing exciting new talent."- Brian Stableford, author of over 70 novels and renowned SF historian
"Zion's Fiction explores the unlimited dreams of a people who have learned to stand on shifting ground. To face a future filled with danger and hope, forging into territory that can only be surveyed with the lamp of imagination on our brows."- David Brin, multiple Hugo and Nebula award-author of EARTH and Existence
"When my collection Wandering Stars: An Anthology of Jewish Fantasy and Science Fiction was published in 1974, [It] became a classic. And now...we have the first ever anthology in the entire universe of Israeli fantasy and science fiction: Zion's Fiction...Go forth and read...and may you find Zion's Fiction unexpected, delightful, and delirious!" -Jack Dann, award winning author and editor of over 75 books including The Memory Cathedral and The Silent
"The basic joy in science fiction and fantasy is the chance to look inside minds different from your own. Here's your chance. Some bright minds in the nation of Israel have been exercising their imaginations, sharing their different dreams and nightmares, and the results are ours to enjoy." - Larry Niven, a multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of the Ringworld Series
