Aspiring science fiction writers, take heed! If you want to understand where the field has been and where it's going—if you want a career—you need this book. In The Engines of the Night, Malzberg reviews his own ambivalent relationship with science fiction up to 1980 and gauges its past and future potentials. Would science fiction have been better off without Hugo Gernsback and the pulp-literature stigma with which he cursed it? What are the seminal works of science fiction? Can science fiction kill you? His answers are brilliant, unequivocal, and surprising. Updated with a 2001 introduction, this award-winning collection remains an essential and enduring history and critique of a fascinating and problematic genre. (Locus Award Winner. Hugo Award Nominee.)

Scop is the tale of a time traveller trying to stop some of history's worst moments before they happen. He has witnessed the last minutes of Jack Kennedy, King, Malcolm, Robert Kennedy. But Scop, in trying to alter, has merely reinforced the future. In the Enclosure is the story of Quir, an alien forced to endure endless interrogations following the first meeting of creatures from space with the people of Earth. An alien whose only thoughts are of escape. For those arriving On a Planet Alien, the mission was to educate the native inhabitants of Folsom's planet and bring them within the Federation. But something had happened on the voyage there. Could it be that some unknown force was controlling the crew's minds - a force that could bring disaster to the mission?

"You mean we're truly going to play for the fate of the Universe?" "Exactly," the Overlord said, "a forty-one game chess match to be broadcast throughout all civilized sectors of your Universe so that everyone can witness it." "But why chess? Why me? Why this planet?" "Because chess is ideal for such a final judgment; it is a methodical game with absolutely no element of luck, and therefore there can be no complaints by the loser. Chess is known only to your plant, and you and your opponent are the most evenly matched living players. Good against evil. No other chess players are so close in true potential abilities. There is no other reason."
