A fan of old-school science fiction since childhood, DLC has always enjoyed the work of such greats as Heinlein, Pohl, Foster, Silverberg, Asimov, Card, del Rey, Farmer, Resnick, anyone who could spin engaging tales of common people, no matter their species or planetary origins, in extraordinary and exotic situations. For his own first science fiction release, DLC chose a dozen of his most popular previously published short stories for The Stranger In The Barn. With a variety of settings from the far past to the far future, the tales in Stranger feature plenty of action, intrigue and, in some cases, humor, as well as the keen insight on the human condition that often comes from a lifetime of devouring the kind of imaginative ideas that are only available in science fiction.
