Winner of six Nebula and five Hugo awards, Connie Willis is
one of the most acclaimed and imaginative authors of our
time. Her startling and powerful works have redefined the
boundaries of contemporary science fiction. Here in one
volume are twelve of her greatest stories, including double
award-winner "Fire Watch," set in the universe of
Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog,
in which a time-traveling student learns one of history's
hardest lessons. In "A Letter from the Clearys," a routine
message from distant friends shatters the fragile world of a
beleaguered family. In "The Sidon in the Mirror," a mutant
with the unconscious urge to become other people finds
himself becoming both killer and victim. Disturbing,
revealing, and provocative, this remarkable collection of
short fiction brings together some of the best work of an
incomparable writer whose ability to amaze, confound, and
enlighten never fails.
