More About This Book

Overview

An annual commemoration, the Nebula Awards are presented by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America to those members whose imaginations refine and refine the infinite storytelling possibilities found within the genre. Nebula Awards Showcase represents the best of the best in one indispensable volume.

From her Annals of the Western Shore epic, Ursula K. Le Guin tells the story of an escaped slave with the ability to see the future in an excerpt from her novel Powers. Look into Catherine Asaro's "The Spacetime Pool" at an alternate universe where a young woman comes between two royal brothers and the fate of an empire. A wealthy family seeks prospective husbands for their two daughters only to find an unsuitable suitor in "Pride and Prometheus" by John Kessel. Nina Kiriki Hoffman presents a culture populated by "Trophy Wives" who are more than they seem.

Also Featuring

The Short Story "The Streets of Ashkelon" from 2009 Grand Master Harry Harrison and an Appreciation of Harrison by Tom Doherty

The Short Story "Talking About Fangs" by the Author Emerita, M. J. Engh

An Excerpt from the Andre Norton Award-Winning Novel Flora's Dare: How a Girl of Spirit Gambles All to Expand Her Vocabulary, Confront a Bouncing Boy Terror, and Try to Save Califa from a Shaky Doom (Despite Being Confined to Her Room) by Ysabeau S. Wilce

    Save your $$

    Not worth the price. A couple of good stories but lots of worthless essays. Not why I buy 'award' books.
