Strange, poignant tales of life in outer space and on tomorrow’s
Earth from the multiple Hugo Award–winning Grand Master of
Science Fiction. Virtually every major author from science
fiction’s fabled golden age—including Poul Anderson, Isaac
Asimov, and Robert A. Heinlein—agreed that Clifford D. Simak was
one of the greatest among them. Named Grand Master by the Science
Fiction Writers of America, the award-winning author created
enduring visions of future worlds, perilous space explorations, and
weird alien encounters as rich in emotion and humanity as they are
in ingenious invention. This is an essential collection of short
fiction from the remarkable mind and heart of a true giant of
twentieth-century speculative fiction, featuring powerful examples
of literary science fiction at its very best. Beginning
with the unforgettable title story—a wry and chilling horror tale
about cloning and alien invasion that inspired the classic teleplay
“The Duplicate Man” from the television series The Outer
Limits—Simak propels the reader on a breathtaking journey across
the galaxies and into the future. He then enthralls us with the
strange chronicle of twin siblings, one tied to the Earth, the
other drawn to the stars; imaginings of a volatile reunion of two
former enemies who must join forces on Jupiter’s moon or face
extinction; and the story of a house in the middle of nowhere that
serves as a gateway back to prehistoric times. With his
wondrous tales of a journalist’s miraculous discovery of fairies
and sprites in the world, a census three centuries in the making
that uncovers an unknown leap forward in human evolution, and the
nightmare realities of future elder care, Simak demonstrates once
again that he is not only one of the greatest science fiction
writers of the twentieth century, but also one of the greatest of
all time.
