Tales of science fiction and adventure from the Hugo Award-winning
author of Way Station and City. The long and prolific career of
Clifford D. Simak cemented him as one of the formative voices of
the science fiction and fantasy genre. The third writer to be named
a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America, his
literary legacy stands alongside those of Robert A. Heinlein and
Ray Bradbury. This striking collection of nine tales showcases
Simak's ability to take the everyday and turn it into something
truly compelling, taking readers on a long journey in a very short
time. In "Dusty Zebra," Joe discovers a portal that allows him to
exchange everyday objects with an entity he can neither see nor
hear, and soon learns that one man's treasure may be another
dimension's trash. In "Retrograde Evolution," an interplanetary
trading vessel tries to figure out how to deal with a remote
society that has suddenly decided to become far less civilized. And
in "Project Mastodon," an unusual ambassador from an unheard-of
country offers amazing opportunities in a place the modern world
can never compete with: the past. Simak's mastery of the short form
is on display in these and six other stories. Each story includes
an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor of the
Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this book.
