Review:

''The award-winning author of Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead, and the 'Alvin Maker' series demonstrates his talent for shorter fiction in this collection of forty-six stories that range from fantasy and SF to horror and theological speculation . . . Detailed introductions and afterwords reveal insights into the thought processes of one of the genre's most convincing storytellers. An important volume; for most libraries.'' --Library Journal

''Definitive . . . A series of introductions and afterwords offering Card's thoughts on his life and his writing are as absorbing as the stories.'' --Publishers Weekly
