Synopsis:

OH, THE WEBS HE WEAVES ...

Spider Robinson has won every major award that the science fiction field has to offer with his Heinlein-influenced, solidly scientific, warmly human stories. User Friendly is a new solid chunk of Spider's universe that is inimitably reader friendly. Welcome to a world where your wife may be inhabited by an alien symbiote; where the fabulously rich hire hitmen to be their own assassins in a bizarre conspiracy; where a brave woman must change the course of Halley's Comet on its next return to save the life of her lover; and where you can't tell the real time travelers from the frauds without a program....

This new volume of pure 24 karat Spider Robinson will be welcomed by his many readers and will win him many new ones.
