"When someone important to you life passes out of it, it becomes vital to say or do something. It was clear to me that all I could do was what Terry himself had taught me to do: make good books." -Beth Meacham from the Introduction — The following authors have come together to make not a good, but great, book in honor of Terry Carr.
Gregory Benford, R. A. Lafferty, Ursula K. LeGuin, Fritz Leiber, Kim Stanley Robinson, Carter Scholz, Robert Silverberg, Michael Swanwick, Kate Wilhelm, Gene Wolfe and Roger Zelazny.
Also featuring: Terry Carr's own story, "The Dance of the Changer and the Three"; and an afterward by Harlan Ellison.
"If you're at all interested in the state of short fiction in SF, you need this book; it comes closer to defining the variety of that state than any other book I've seen. Terry would have been proud." -Locus
