For nearly half a century, Barry N. Malzberg has been stretching the boundaries of the science fiction and fantasy genres to tell truly entertaining tales. In a collection of fiction that Malzberg himself considers his very best, this anthology showcases a literary career spanning almost 50 years, dozens of novels, hundreds of stories, and countless classic books. Each of the 32 stories in this compilation offers Malzberg's trademark vision of a future that is equal parts cautionary tale and social commentary. In the fictional world depicted in one story, dreams turn into frightening trips through time to reveal an ultimate horror; in another the rules in a war game change with every flip of the manic military command. Including pieces appearing for the first time in book form alongside rediscovered gems, these hand-picked selections exhibit his versatile imagination and the dark humor so characteristic of his work.

Industry Reviews
"Malzberg makes persuasively clear that the best of science fiction should be valued as literature and nothing else." -- Washington Post Book World "... an indispensable collection by one of the field's most original practitioners." -- Barry Agonistes, LA Review of Books "... constitutes as vital a brick in the vast edifice of fantastika as any collection in recent memory. Essential is the word." -- Paul Di Filippo, Locus
