Thirteen dazzling tales by a master of science fiction and fantasy, including:
THE WEATHER'S FINE - In our world, time is money, but in Harry Turtledove's alternate world, weather is time. And for Tom and Donna, happiness requires a temperature of 1968.
THE LAST ARTICLE - The Nazis had conquered the British Empire. But what use were Panzers and storm troopers against the Empire's most troublesome subject - Mahatma Gandhi?
THE CASTLE OF THE SPARROWHAWK - Prince Rupen accepted the faeries' challenge to win his heart's desire. And though they told him the price of failure, they did not mention the penalty of success!
GENTLEMEN OF THE SHADE - If Jack the Ripper was a vampire, who better to stop him than Victorian London's other vampires? And who else but they could arrive at so sublimely fitting a punishment?
