The Road to Nowhere

Rodolfo Martínez is a Spanish Science Fiction writer with an international voice. One of Spain’s most respected SF authors, Martínez has won multiple awards for his novels and short fiction.   

The Road To Nowhere is his first English language short story collection, and represents his finest work to date, as selected by the author. Thirteen stories drawn from a career spanning more than twenty years, tales that explore humankind’s relationship with technology, with AI, with alien worlds, and with one another.  

“From mysterious alien roads to haunting riffs on cyberspace, to time paradoxes, here’s a full spectrum of event-driven tales almost addictive in their enjoyability. These stories are engaging and ingenious, chatty, vivid, and robust. Here’s an eloquent Spanish SF author whom we should have been reading for the past 20 years, and now at last we can.” 

– Ian Watson, author of the screen story for Steven Spielberg’s A.I. Artificial Intelligence
