The stories here, all of them written between March of 1972 and
November of 1973, mark a critical turning point in my career. Those
who know the three earlier volumes have traced my evolution from a
capable journeyman, very young and as much concerned with paying
the rent as he was to advancing the state of the art, into a
serious, dedicated craftsman now seeking to leave his mark on
science fiction in some significant way. Throughout the decade of
the 1960s I had attempted to grow and evolve within the field of
writing I loved building on the best that went before me, the work
of Theodore Sturgeon and James Blish and Cyril Kornbluth and Jack
Vance and Philip K. Dick and half a dozen others whose great
stories had been beacons beckoning me onward and then, as I reached
my own maturity, now trying to bring science fiction along with me
into a new realm of development, hauling it along even farther out
of its pulp-magazine origins toward what I regarded as a more
resonant and evocative kind of visionary storytelling. Robert
Silverberg, from his Introduction
