Science fiction by a master craftsman
ROBERT SILVERBERG
THE MASKS OF TIME - Vornan-19—a creature who claimed to be a visitor from 1000 years in the future—Was he a demigod or an irresponsible madman? He was equally deadly either way.
TO OPEN THE SKY - The conflict between genes and machines was joined in the year 2077. The atom was their God —but there was something else stronger.
UP THE LINE - Time Travel, at least for the Guides, involved all kinds of hazards—especially for Daniel Elliott III —the Tom Jones of Time Travel.
THORNS - Lona Kelvin—Minner Burris—Duncan Chalk: Ultra Woman, Non-Man, and a human vulture, carrion eater of other people’s emotions, feeding on pain, fear, anger, hatred, jealousy, terror. Surely die strangest triangle the worlds had ever seen.
And Also
SON OF MAN—A Novel A strange, sensuous, misty, partly hallucinatory “trip” in which a man learns about himself—and perhaps something of the nature of man.

The variety of subjects in this collection is matched only by the richness and diversity of their handling —brilliant, frightening, clever, bizarre, powerful, witty, fanny—and several steps in-between.
Wonderful reading by any standards—and a positive feast for science fiction cognoscenti.

THOMAS BURNETT SWANN
was recognized as one of the field's superior fantasists with the publication of a novelette Where is the Bird of Fire, which mixed history with mythology and humans with demigods. /
Now. Ballantine Books is happy to present his first full-length work in book form—a strange tale of a remote island, an island which should have been a paradise but quickly became a nightmare in which all known rules of behavior seemed to be reversed, where, in fact, a young man brought up amidst the proprieties of Victorian England, found that his only friend was one small, lonely dolphin—and his enemies included several well-ordered hammerhead sharks...
