Ten stories of wonder and imagination by an author named Grand
Master by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.
 In the collection’s title story, Frederick Gray is
closing in on seventy and has outlived his usefulness as a
professor of law. He has no family; his best friend, fellow faculty
member Ben Lovell, has recently died. Before Gray moves into a
retirement home, he takes a final canoe trip to a favorite fishing
spot he and Lovell had visited many times, only to find that
someone has built a house on the remote riverside. When an accident
leaves Gray stranded and in pain, he returns to the shelter seeking
aid and instead finds a new reason for living. Â Nine
additional tales showcase Clifford D. Simak’s talent for spinning
stories that allow us to glimpse the possibilities of life beyond
Earth as well as expand our wisdom of what it means to be human.
 Each story includes an introduction by David W. Wixon,
literary executor of the Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of
this book.
