One of the stories I'd read before. You can read it here.
Another you can listen to here.
I gotta tell ya, I like the book. There wasn't really a dud in the book. Pretty much all of them are amusing.
"Resonance" could be adapted into a movie without too much effort. There's an X-prize sort of contest to build the first space elevator and get a vessel into space. There's sabotage and attacks by eco-terrorists, lawsuits by eco-lawyers, host nations that have turned hostile, and a matter of days to get around all the problems before the main character goes bankrupt and his company is forced to close.
There's story about a short warrior and a 7 ft "wizard" that would make for a good D&D one shot game. The characters are fun enough that I really want to see more stories with them. The author says that he's got a book with them in it planned.
I recommend getting this book. And if you happen to run into Eric James Stone you'll want to ask him for his business card. There's another story on the back.
Addition: Eric James Stone was here and e-mailed me. WOO!
