Description
Two classic novels and a short story collection from the legendary Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author in one volume.
This volume from an icon of the Golden Age of science fiction includes:
City: In this International Fantasy Award-winning novel, millennia have passed since humankind abandoned Earth, leaving their most loyal animal companions alone. Granted the power of speech centuries earlier, the intelligent, pacifist dogs are the last keepers of human history. But now they're threatened by the reawakened remnants of a warlike race called "Man."
A Heritage of Stars: More than a thousand years have passed since humankind intentionally destroyed its treacherous technology. The scant knowledge that has survived is kept in monastery-like "universities". On an amazing trek across what was once America, Tom Cushing and a band of misfits seek this knowledge, only to discover an astonishing revelation at the end of their journey.
Grotto of the Dancing Deer and Other Stories: Ten tales of wonder, danger, and the future, including the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning title story in which a man reveals his ancient secret, unable to bear his endless loneliness; "Over the River," where children from an embattled future are sent back for safekeeping to their ancestors in the peaceful past; "Day of Truce," about suburbanites barricading themselves against roving attackers who invade when the gates open wide one day every year; and seven more stories from a master of speculative fiction.
The third author to be honored as a Grand Master of Science Fiction by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association (SFWA), Clifford D. Simak also received three Hugo Awards, a Nebula Award, an International Fantasy Award, and a Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award.
