Synopsis
The voices of the future are here today... in this dazzling array of stories presented by noted science fiction anthologist and critic Damon Knight.
One story tells the tale of a dire warning adrift in time that stuns the crowds of Paris -- and ultimately the world. Another is a frightening study of the psychological side effects of a genetically engineered future. The scenarios range from the subtle mysteries of one family's tragic history on earth, to epic battles in the twilight realm of a distant planet. Within these bright new pages, the execution of justice is an art form and dealing with the devil mere child's play.
These are the gems of the last six years of the Clarion Science Fiction Writers' Workshop -- a multifaceted and colorful collection that demonstrates the exciting diversity of ideas and sheer power of imagination to be found within the science fiction of today -- and tomorrow.
Damon Knight, editor, short story writer, and critic, has been an influential force in the SF world for over thirty years. He was one of the founders and the first president of the Science Fiction Writers of America, as well as being the founder of the first workshop for science fiction writers. He is perhaps best known for his Orbit anthology series, in which many of the award-winning stories of the sixties and seventies were first published. He and his wife, the writer Kate Wilhelm, live in Eugene, Oregon. Both have taught at Clarion for many years.
