Description
Six science fiction novellas by the author hailed as âa masterâ by Robert Jordanâincluding two Nebula Award winners and two finalists.
Robert Silverbergâs novellas open the door to new worlds: In âBorn with the Dead,â a woman wills her body to be ârekindledâ after death, allowing her to walk among the living, while her husband is left in the impossible position of accepting her death when he can still see her. In the Nebula AwardÂânominated story âHomefaring,â the time-traveling narrator finds himself trapped in the consciousness of a lobsterlike creature of the far future, leading him to reflect on what it means to be human. And in the collectionâs Nebula AwardÂâwinning title story, the Earth of the fiftieth century is a place where time is elusive and fluid, and young citizens live as tourists in ancient cities. âWhen Silverberg is at the top of his form, no one is better,â says George R. R. Martin. Also including Nebula Award finalist âThe Secret Sharer,â as well as âThomas the Proclaimerâ and âWe Are for the Dark," this collection offers an engrossing exploration of the work of this Grand Master, hailed by the New York Times Book Review as âthe John Updike of science fiction.â
