God is an Iron and Other Stories

SF veteran Spider Robinson (The Callahan Chronicals) gathers 10 tales, most from the 1970s and '80s, into a collection that seems to owe more to the past (i.e., Robinson's 1960s sensibilities) than it does to the future. God Is an Iron and Other Stories includes the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning but dated ""Stardance,"" in which the beautiful Shara must save the world through her dancing skills, as well as the slight and comic ""Orphans of Eden,"" in which a character sharing the author's name helps a time traveler determine humanity's fate.
