Two reporters looking for a story in the outer reaches of the Solar System come upon a derelict spaceship. Inside, they find the only inhabitant, a beautiful young woman who has been imprisoned for a thousand years in suspended animation, suspended but aware for the whole time.

(It all began simply enough. A client had vanished, and Ja...)
It all began simply enough. A client had vanished, and Jay Corcoran went to investigate the man's hotel suite, which seemed empty. Bot Corcoran's trick vision spotted what no one else could see - a room-sized box stuck somehow to the outside wall of the suite. There was no way to get into the box, however, so Corcoran cabled his longtime pal Tom Boone in Singapore to fly to New York. Boone had a talent. When threatened, he could "step around a corner" into some otherwhere until the danger passed. Maybe he could step around a corner into the box. The box turned out to be a time traveler machine that transported them almost instantly back to 1745 in Shropshire, England, where they found a strange family of refugees from a million years in the future. There, in the far future, the alien Infinites were converting humanity to incorporeal form, promising that would give them immortality. When the family refused conversion, they had been forced to flee in their time travelers. Now, for more than a century they had lain hidden in their time bubble around Hopkins Acre. But they had reports of something sniffing at the bubble. The, suddenly, the Infinites' killer monster broke through. After that, things grew complicated as they fled to the distant past and the farther future.

(An ageless hermit runs a secret way station for alien vis...)
An ageless hermit runs a secret way station for alien visitors in the Wisconsin woods in this Hugo Award-winning science fiction classic Enoch Wallace is not like other humans. Living a secluded life in the backwoods of Wisconsin, he carries a nineteenth-century rifle and never seems to age-a fact that has recently caught the attention of prying government eyes. The truth is, Enoch is the last surviving veteran of the American Civil War and, for close to a century, he has operated a secret way station for aliens passing through on journeys to other stars. But the gifts of knowledge and immortality that his intergalactic guests have bestowed upon him are proving to be a nightmarish burden, for they have opened Enoch's eyes to humanity's impending destruction. Still, one final hope remains for the human race . . . though the cure could ultimately prove more terrible than the disease. Winner of the Hugo Award for Best Novel, Way Station is a magnificent example of the fine art of science fiction as practiced by a revered Grand Master. A cautionary tale that is at once ingenious, evocative, and compassionately human, it brilliantly supports the contention of the late, great Robert A. Heinlein that "to read science-fiction is to read Simak".

A time finally come when man had to admit that he could not reach the stars. He had suspected it when the early radiation belts were found, and gradually it became a certainty. But man, with his unusual ingenuity, found the solution in men who were telepaths.

The original hardcover *The Worlds Of C.S.* was too voluminous for a single paperback. This is the second collection of stories culled from that tome: DUSTY ZEBRA: Trader loved all the little zebras he received in return for his miraculous cleaning gadgets. CARBON COPY: Everybody was happy with the handsome new housing development until the alien practical joker perpetrated one joke too many. FOUNDING FATHER: Self-delusion is a helpful drug --- in small doses! IDIOT'S CRUSADE: Which turned out not to be so idiotic, after all. DEATH SCENE: Clairvoyance can prevent wars. Could it also deaden the excitement of living? GREEN THUMB: Which won't surprise people who have one and should be included in any gardening manual.

(Hellhounds of the Cosmos appeared in the June 1932 issue ...)
Hellhounds of the Cosmos appeared in the June 1932 issue of Astounding Stories. Weird are the conditions of the interdimensional struggle faced by Dr. White's ninety-nine men. Project Mastodon appeared in the March 1955 issue of Galaxy. He was. Not he alone, but a thousand others, working desperately, knowing that the time was short, working not alone for two men trapped in time, but for the peace they all had dreamed about-that the whole world had yearned for through the ages. For to be of any use, it was imperative that they could zero in the time machines they meant to build as an artilleryman would zero in a battery of guns, that each time machine would take its occupants to the same instant of the past, that their operation would extend over the same period of time, to the exact second. It was a problem of control and calibration-starting with a prototype that was calibrated, as its finest adjustment, for jumps of 50,000 years. Project Mastodon was finally under way. The World That Couldn't Be appeared in the January 1958 issue of Galaxy Science Fiction. Like every farmer on every planet, Duncan had to hunt down anything that damaged his crops-even though he was aware this was- The Street That Wasn't There appeared in the July 1941 issue of Comet. Mr. Jonathon Chambers left his house on Maple Street at exactly seven o'clock in the evening and set out on the daily walk he had taken, at the same time, come rain or snow, for twenty solid years. The walk never varied. He paced two blocks down Maple Street, stopped at the Red Star confectionery to buy a Rose Trofero perfecto, then walked to the end of the fourth block on Maple. There he turned right on Lexington, followed Lexington to Oak, down Oak and so by way of Lincoln back to Maple again and to his home. He didn't walk fast. He took his time. He always returned to his front door at exactly 7:45. No one ever stopped to talk with him. Even the man at the Red Star confectionery, where he bought his cigar, remained silent while the purchase was being made. Mr. Chambers merely tapped on the glass top of the counter with a coin, the man reached in and brought forth the box, and Mr. Chambers took his cigar. That was all.
