Book Description
Hugo Award winner and best-selling author Harry Turtledove has garnered high praise for his mastery of alternate history science fiction, and for his fantasy adventure novels, but he is equally a master of science fiction adventure, as he proves in this new Baen MegaBook containing two complete novels and a baker's dozen of brilliant shorter works.
Earthgrip - Jennifer Logan, young and beautiful, wanted to teach Middle English. But getting a job required a striking resume, and she thought that getting a berth on an interstellar trading ship would be just the ticket. And before she could say, this wasn't what I had in mind, she was off on what would be the adventure of a lifetime-though her lifetime might suddenly be cut rather short.
Noninterference - The Survey Service was supposed to observe alien worlds on the verge of civilization, without in any way interfering. But the expedition to Bilbeis IV, over 1,000 years ago, had broken the rule, with results that no one could have predicted. The Survey Service was still around, more bureaucratic than ever, and when they returned to Bilbeis IV and saw what the previous expedition had done, they knew that they could not allow the facts to get out. And unless one man could stop them, more than incriminating documents might be shredded-an entire inhabited world was at risk!
Kaleidoscope - A selection of short science fiction and fantasy for all tastes. Suppose Jack the Ripper was a vampire, and another vampire was given the job of catching him? Suppose all the other races in the galaxy have starships, but haven't developed the other technologies that have exploded on Earth-including weapons? Suppose the Nazis had to deal with Mahatma Gandhi and his nonviolent resistance? And much more.
Publisher's Note: Earthgrip, Noninterference and Kaleidoscope have been previously published as separate books. This is their first combined publication.
