Between 1989 and 2012, a span of 23 years, the members of the World Science Fiction Society have seen fit to honor Mike Resnick with 36 Hugo nominations, 30 for his fiction, more than any other science fiction author. The 30 nominated short stories, including the five winning tales, are included in this volume. As you read through these stories, you ll find Theodore Roosevelt attempting to bring civilization to the Congo...and to London. You ll return, with some regularity, to Africa, whether a mythical version existing on a terraformed asteroid or the historical birthplace of humanity along the Olduvai Gorge. Love and loss are depicted whether for a missing spouse, an old friend, an author one has never met, or a copper-skinned Martian princess. Walk in the dusty footsteps of Koriba or see what it is like to live with Dr. Frankenstein, his monster, and Igor. Like the fables which are embedded in so many of these tales, these stories will entertain and make you think. Without seeming to, Resnick adds layers of depth to even the most innocuous-seeming story. And when you are finished, you ll find yourself thinking about all they have to say.

A heroic goblin? Who ever heard of such a thing?
 Jim Hines did. And in this collection, you'll meet the intelligent, brave, scrawny, smart-mouthed, and reluctantly heroic goblin, Jig. From shortly after Jig's birth to his unusual leadership of a goblin platoon, he fights sorceresses, hobgoblins, and his own kind -- and discovers what it takes to be a leader and a hero! Here is your introduction to the world of goblins, where deep, dark tunnels are the best homes, with only the occasional tunnel cat or zombie to disturb the gloom.
 But goblins aren't the only characters in Jim's stories. You'll find a princess cursed to endless sleep, surrounded by a wall of thorns. Within that wall live the trapped, tormented princes who tried to rescue her -- or did they?
 Or perhaps you'll venture into a world much like our own, but populated with zombies and fairies working for the police and FBI, or bards and librarians saving the world from all manner of magical creatures.
 Or another world where wars are fought by living kites and their Kitemasters.
 And just when you think you've seen it all, you'll find an eerily familiar children's show where the puppets and humans are about to have a very bad day -- and an even worse night!
 Welcome to the many worlds of Jim C. Hines! It's a journey that you won't soon forget.
