Zustand: NEAR FINE. Hardcover. A collection of sixteen of McDevitt's best short stories, all originally published in various magazines from 1982 to 1996. Introduction by Charles Sheffield. "The title story concerns an astronomer who, though he has never flared as brightly as a nova has had a long and glowing career; "The Fort Moxie Branch" offers the notion of a future library that preserves the work of neglected writers and materializes rather like an Isher weapons shop to offer afirmation when a writer needs it most. "Auld Lang Boom" is the butterfly whose wings cause hurricanes - everytime two old friends meet, something awful happens in the world; the surviving heir of one, reading the diary left behind, gets quite spooked. "Cryptic" is the tale of closing down a SETI operation and finding the files of an old computer disk with frightening implications. "Time Travelers Never Die" plays fast and loose with continuity when even after death a time traveler is able to maintain contact with his lover. "The Jersey Rifle" concerns the discovery of the world's greatest chess player, an unassuming druggist who can beat anyone." (Analog review) 248 pp. Near fine in very good dust jacket (closed tear at upper edge of front cover near fold, other minor edgewear to dj).…
