A collection that includes the Nebula Award-winning titular novella
and "Light and Shadow," the story that begins the Saga of the
Skolian Empire series. In "The Spacetime Pool," recent MIT grad
Janelle Aulair is hiking through the Great Smoky Mountains when a
man appears out of nowhere to request her help. Shaken by his
impossible appearance, she steps away--and falls through a portal
onto a beach in another universe. That's when Dominick, the man who
waylaid Janelle, reveals she is part of a prophecy. It foretells a
bizarre future: if Dominick marries Janelle, he'll depose his twin
brother and become Emperor of the land. If Dominick doesn't marry
her, his brother--a brutal tyrant who will do anything to keep his
throne--will murder him. Janelle finds herself caught in a conflict
that could destroy the realm. If that's not mind-blowing enough,
she discovers books that prove this civilization achieved
interstellar travel five centuries ago. Yet now they're living in a
culture that doesn't have electricity, riding two-horned creatures
that definitely aren't horses, and sword-fighting. To find her way
home, Janelle must figure out what happened between then and now .
. . The Spacetime Pool also includes Catherine Asaro's first-ever
published story, "Light and Shadow," featuring Kelric, a popular
character from the Saga of the Skolian Empire series, and an
illustrated essay on the math in her fiction titled "A Poetry of
Angles and Dreams." Praise for Catherine Asaro "Readers seeking the
harmonious meld of hard SF's rigor and human chemistry's heat
should read Catherine Asaro's fiction." --SciFi Weekly
