Reviews
Although Cherryh is the author of many novels, the introduction to this collection of short fiction provides her with a rare opportunity to speak directly to the reader. What we get from this former history teacher is a lecture that equates her light, romantic SF with the truth of history and myth. After this pretentious opening, the stories themselves seem even more meager. Several of them, she admits, were initially rejected or discarded and sat in the drawer for years. Her short novel "Companions" is unnecessarily elongated, but tells an interesting story of an explorer who may be facing a new life form that mysteriously fails to register on mechanical sensors. The best entry, "A Thief in Korianth," is an early, much superior version of the author's 1985 novel Angel with the Sword. This will be of greatest interest to fans of Cherryh's novels.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Signed by author C. J. Cherryh on its title page, with her inscription, "For Carrie Best wishes!" "FIRST EDITION" on its copyright page. This book is in near fine condition, marred only by some faint foxing on the top edge of its page block (not extending onto page faces), plus traces of wear on the bottom edges of its covers. Its binding is sound and square. Covers are unmarked and otherwise unworn, with bright gilt titles on its spine. Pages are unworn and otherwise unmarked. Its dust jacket, now protected by a removable mylar cover, is in fine condition: bright, whole, unmarked, and unworn. I will ship this book in a moisture proof zip-loc bag, padded in bubble wrap, inside a sturdy box to assure it reaches its new owner in the same condition as my description. Inscribed by Author(s).
