A trio of mind-blowing explorations of space and time from a multiple
Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author, “one of science fiction’s
most revered writers” (USA Today). For SFWA Grand Master Poul
Anderson, humanity’s expansion into space exploration was the
logical extension of the principle of individual liberty and a natural
response to profound existential curiosity. He remained endlessly
fascinated by the possibilities of limitless frontiers, penning
“more milestones in contemporary science fiction and fantasy than
any one man is entitled to” (Stephen Donaldson). Here are three of
Anderson’s most memorable tales of time and space travel. There
Will Be Time: Born with a strange genetic mutation, Jack Havig can
travel backward and forward in time at will. He’s journeyed to
ancient Rome and the Wild West—and into the far future, to a world
nearly obliterated by nuclear war. But after he is admitted into a
secret time-traveling organization, he stumbles upon a horrific plot
to irrevocably alter the destiny of humankind. The Enemy Stars: In
the twenty-third century, four astronauts hailing from different
worlds have been entrusted to explore a long-dead star located
light-years beyond where humanity has previously traveled. But when
the black sun’s magnetic field destroys their only means of
returning home, these four strangers must work together to
survive—or together they will perish. Fire Time: Fire Time is
coming to Ishtar. This once-in-a-millennium environmental catastrophe
occurs when one of the planet’s three suns encroaches on Ishtar’s
surface. Indigenous nomadic tribes, desperate to escape scorched
homelands that will be rendered uninhabitable, have declared war on
their more civilized brethren to claim their territory. Caught in the
middle are human colonists from Earth, searching for a solution to
both civil war and an approaching apocalypse.
