The Hall must be sealed from top to bottom—every window, chimney, and keyhole closed off before night falls.

About the book
The #1 New York Times–bestselling author presents twenty-six tales and vignettes from this interplanetary gathering place: "A must for Nivenites" (Booklist).
When a tremendous spacecraft took orbit around the Earth's moon and began sending smaller landers down toward the North Pole, the newly arrived visitors quickly set up a permanent spaceport at Mount Forel in Siberia.

One of these men, Rick Schumann, opened the Draco Tavern, a public house catering to all species of visiting aliens.
In "The Subject Is Closed", a priest visits the tavern and goes one-on-one with a chirpsithra alien on the subject of God and life after death. Rick Schumann is invited to hunt with five folk aliens in "Table Manners", but he begins to wonder if he will be the hunted. And in the never-before-published tale "Losing Mars", a group of Martians arrive at the Tavern only to find that humans have mostly forgotten about their neighboring planet.

About the book
In a smart and funny novel by the award-winning author of the critically acclaimed “big-hearted, charming” (The Washington Post) Small Admissions, a family’s move to New York City brings surprises.
Allison Brinkley—wife, mother, and unflappable optimist—discovers that her decision to pack up and move her family from suburban Dallas to the glittery chaos of Manhattan may have been more complicated than she and her husband initially thought. New York is more unruly and bewildering than she expected, defying the notions she developed from romantic movies and a memorable childhood visit. After a humiliating call from the principal’s office and the loss of the job she was counting on, Allison begins to accept that New York may not suit her after all.
When she has a fender-bender, witnessed by a flock of mothers at her son’s new school, she is led to the penthouse apartment of a luxurious Central Park West building and encounters a spoiled, hungover, unsupervised teenager who looks familiar. It doesn’t take long to recognize him as Carter Reid—a famous pop star who has been cast in a new Broadway musical. Through this brush with stardom, Allison embraces a unique and unexpected opportunity that helps her find her way in the heart of Manhattan.
“A tribute to Broadway, teen celebrity life, and a mother who has now seen it all, this work is tough love at its finest and a great read for those wanting a ride on the wild side” (Booklist, starred review).
