Combining classic adventure and sophisticated speculation, the ten stories in this collection are sure to satisfy a broad range of readers. Includes an introduction by Stephen Baxter. The original story "Alexander's Road" was nominated for the Aurora Award—Canada's top Science Fiction award—for best short work in English.
