Captive Universe

Harry Harrison
"For the first fifty pages you'll swear that Harrison has been rummaging in an old trunk. Here's that tired old theme...the lost community of Aztecs who have been cut off in a hidden valley by a landslide centuries ago. Presently they will discover the outside world--our world. The stalwart Aztec maverick may even fall in love with a beautiful white explorer... Of course, any reader of Analog Magazine should know harry Harrison better than that. There are rumblings, even in the first chapters. The Aztecs are blond--that old Fair God bit again. Someone is feeding the vultures meat from an unspecified source. And surely we're not supposed to accept a snake-headed goddess? Trust Uncle Harry. On page 55, young Chimal follows the goddess through a secret door in the cliffs, with his whole tribe hunting him, & the story turns inside out."--P. Schuyler Miller

The Enemy of My Enemy

Avram Davidson
"Jerrod Northi--pirate, rogue, and a citizen of Pemath--was desperate enough to go through the transformation. It cost 100,000 units for the Craftsmen to endow him with the Seven Signs: green eyes, long fingers, long ears with tips, a smooth and hairless body, full mouth, slender feet, and a melodious voice. It was a rather steep price, even for Northi, but he would pay it somehow. For Jerrod Northi had powerful enemies. Since being attacked by deadly leeris, he knew the cost of missing this opportunity to find refuge in the land of Tarnis might be even higher ... perhaps even his life!"--Page 4 of cover

Other Spaces, Other Times A Life Spent in the Future

Robert Silverberg
Capturing a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of science fiction, this unique autobiography by Robert Silverberg shows how famous stories in this genre were conceived and written.
