In the world of Rip-Off!, "Call me Ishmael" introduces a tough-as-nails private eye who carries a harpoon; The Wonderful Wizard of Oz inspires the tale of an aging female astronaut who's being treated by a doctor named Dorothy Gale; and Huckleberry Finn leads to a wild ride with a foul-mouthed riverboat captain who plies the waters of Hell. Once you listen to Rip-Off! you'll agree: If Shakespeare or Dickens were alive today, they'd be ripping off the authors in this great collection. The stories included in Rip-Off! are: - "Fireborn" by Robert Charles Wilson - "The Evening Line" by Mike Resnick - "No Decent Patrimony" by Elizabeth Bear - "The Big Whale" by Allen M. Steele - "Begone" by Daryl Gregory - "The Red Menace" by Lavie Tidhar - "Muse of Fire" by John Scalzi - "Writer's Block" by Nancy Kress - "Highland Reel" by Jack Campbell - "Karin Coxswain or Death as She Is Truly Lived" by Paul Di Filippo - "The Lady Astronaut of Mars" by Mary Robinette Kowal - "Every Fuzzy Beast of the Earth, Every Pink Fowl of the Air" by Tad Williams - "Declaration" by James Patrick Kelly. As a bonus, the authors introduce their stories, explaining what they ripped-off and why. 650 0 $a Compact discs 650 0 $a Talking books 650 0 $a Books on compact discs 650 0 $a Short stories. 700 1 $a Wheaton, Wil. $4 nrt 700 1 $a Brick, Scott. $4 nrt 700 1 $a Rummel, Christian. $4 nrt 700 1 $a Davis, Jonathan $c (Narrator) $4 nrt 700 1 $a Hvam, Khristine. $4 nrt 700 1 $a Ganser, L.
