Or who.Tiek: Some people are not cut out to be bounty hunters, but thanks to their prisoner, they manage to save their skins-and his.Sky Letters: God sends the message but it sure takes a while to decipher.

You can have a pretty good life in there.Rock Hound: In a tribute to Lovecraft, a science teacher and his neighbor retrieve a strangely colored boulder and things happen. Think Colour out of Space.Borrowed Time: When a starship malfunctions, the life pods are supposed to seek out habitable worlds to deposit their sleeping passengers. So far so good.

Not quite human Cat, laid up with a broken leg, must deal with a crew of vengeance seekers out to trap his friend and partner, Shadow, former servant of the evil wizard, Unrek.Alice Faye: They sail the primal sea to the River that is Not Yet. But you have to believe in the ship and the sea and the Inn that Never Changes-because if you begin to doubt, things don't go so well.Miniatures: The Canterbury Tales happened in England. But where is England? Or for that matter, anywhere else? The answer might just lie in the bright gaze of a packrat-if that is what it is-or there might not be an answer.
