Six science fiction novellas by the author hailed as ’;a master’ by Robert Jordanincluding two Nebula Award winners and two finalists. Robert Silverberg’s novellas open the door to new worlds: In ’;Born with the Dead, ’ a woman wills her body to be ’;rekindled’ 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 Awardnominated story ’;Homefaring, ’ 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 collection’s Nebula Awardwinning 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.’;When Silverberg is at the top of his form, no one is better, ’ says George R. R. Martin.
