"The Undefeated" is a beautifully crafted novella about unconscious privilege, ubiquitous slavery and their consequences, seen through the eyes of a memorable, if not always reliable, narrator. What I enjoyed most about this book was the way Una McCormack slowly built up my unde...

This is an anthology, framed by an alternate version of "The Visitor" (i.e. without the desperate struggle to save his father) where Jake shows his visitor his new book, a collection of short stories set on and around Deep Space Nine.
