Present Future is an anthology covering a dozen short stories that written over the course of a decade and a half. A few of these have been published previously, some were finished and never published, others existed as ideas recorded as notes until they were fleshed out for this work, and a couple of them were written exclusively for this collection. All of them have been reworked and reedited for the enhancement of your enjoyment.Taken together these represent a standalone cross section of the author's overall work without requiring any prior reading. The genres range across the spectrum of science fiction from military adventure science fiction (Warship Paragon) to science fiction horror (Skilled Labor) with many stops in between. Both big ideas and amusing concepts are explored. Many of these stories fit easily into the sprawling structure of the Post First Contact setting, books like Sevastopol and Law’s End, while others were deliberately envisioned as their own independent entities.

Olivia in India follows the adventures of the titular character as she navigates the cities and countryside of India in the early 20th century. The entire book is written as diary entries, wherein Olivia recounts the various events of the preceding days and weeks. Her account is generally happy and reflective, although descriptions of the adversities native to travel prior to electricity or aircraft are eye-opening, as are the dialogues Olivia has with various people she encounters along her way. Olivia visits the city of Calcutta at a time when the Indian subcontinent was a colonial holding of the British Empire, beholding the bustle of city life and perusing its myriad sights. We receive a vivid portrait of the sights and sounds of India as a pre-industrial nation under colonial rule, and how the occupiers and natives would behave. A fascinating chronicle of a world which has since dissipated beneath successive waves of modernisation, Olivia in India has received criticism for its overly pleasant depiction of a society which was in actuality characterised by British oppression and profiteering. However, supporters of the book note its generally realistic descriptions, and its evocative style.

This is the true life story of O. Douglas’ mother, but depicted as a fictional mother reminiscing with her daughter. The story starts with the mother’s early marriage and family life in Scotland, where she sets about raising six children while supporting her husband, a minister. This pleasing, nostalgic book is full of domestic joy and love, but tinged with tragedy as the family struggles with illness and the First World War.Published 1922.
