When last did you look to the night sky and wonder what might loom in the far reaches of the universe?

These are the tales of sentient life in the multiverse. Of the strange and diverse sophonts, hiveminds, anarcho-syndicalist collectives, and anyone—or anything—you could encounter in the far reaches of space. Some linger lovingly on the jagged edge of horror. Some offer immortality while others offer knowledge, hope, or comfort beyond imagining. These tales dare to explore the endless diversity of intelligent life in the multiverse. Are you brave enough to come along for the ride?

These tales answer such questions as: Is there life out there? What do they rally for—or against? What do they see when they look at our blue marble in the night sky? And most importantly of all, do they party? These short stories push the reader beyond our pale definition of sentient life.
