Synopsis
A collection that includes the Nebula Award–winning titular novella and &“Light and Shadow,&” the story that begins the Saga of the Skolian Empire series. In &“The Spacetime Pool,&” recent MIT grad Janelle Aulair is hiking through the Great Smoky Mountains when a man appears out of nowhere to request her help. Shaken by his impossible appearance, she steps away—and falls through a portal onto a beach in another universe. That&’s when Dominick, the man who waylaid Janelle, reveals she is part of a prophecy. It foretells a bizarre future: if Dominick marries Janelle, he&’ll depose his twin brother and become Emperor of the land. If Dominick doesn&’t marry her, his brother—a brutal tyrant who will do anything to keep his throne—will murder him. Janelle finds herself caught in a conflict that could destroy the realm. If that&’s not mind-blowing enough, she discovers books that prove this civilization achieved interstellar travel five centuries ago. Yet now they&’re living in a culture that doesn&’t have electricity, riding two-horned creatures that definitely aren&’t horses, and sword-fighting. To find her way home, Janelle must figure out what happened between then and now . . .The Spacetime Pool also includes Catherine Asaro&’s first-ever published story, &“Light and Shadow,&” featuring Kelric, a popular character from the Saga of the Skolian Empire series, and an illustrated essay on the math in her fiction titled &“A Poetry of Angles and Dreams.&”Praise for Catherine Asaro &“Readers seeking the harmonious meld of hard SF&’s rigor and human chemistry&’s heat should read Catherine Asaro&’s fiction.&” —SciFi Weekly
