EDITORIAL REVIEW: 2009 Aurora Award nominee "A sense of wonder that hasn't prevailed in American SF since the days of Heinlein."-Books in Canada This new collection by the man Anne McCaffrey calls "an absolutely marvelous writer" includes Hugo Award nominee "Shed Skin," Nebula Award nominee "Identity Theft," and Aurora Award winner "Ineluctable."
