Synopsis: Philip Jose Farmer, Poul Anderson, Chad Oliver, Anne McCaffrey, Edgar Pangborn, Thomas N. Scortia, Gene Wolfe, Gail Kimberly--these writers, widely hailed as among the best in the current science fiction field, have joined forces with the prolific editing talents of Roger Elwook to create the first truly unique anthology series in years. In this second volume in the series, Anne McCaffrey returns the reader to the world of Milekdy Mountains--a godforsaken colony planet where Killashandra, the Crystal Singer, is losing her capacity for detecting the killer storms that will Wreck her mind. Philip Jose Farmer, in "Startouched," presents a further adventure of Paul Eyre, who has been contacted by an alien creature in the astonishing form of a beautiful woman with the hind parts of a lion--a sphinx! The other authors draw us back to the worlds they created in Continuum 1, and Gail Kimberly goes to the robot dominated future created by Dean R. Koontz in the revolving authorship series that ends this volume.
