Book Synopsis

Needle in a Timestack is Robert Silverberg at his very best - intelligent, inventive, and visionary. This collection showcases his talent for thought-provoking science fiction, ranging in themes from time travel to space travel, the media to mortality.

In the titular story - now a feature film by Oscar-winning screenwriter John Ridley - a jealous ex-husband warps time in a vindictive attempt to destroy his former wife''s new marriage. Thirty-one identical sons have a shocking surprise for their mother in There Was an Old Woman. The prophetic The Pain Peddlers depicts reality TV in a way that allows viewers to revel in a voyeuristic, adrenaline-fueled rush. Also included are Silverberg''s Hugo Award-winning Enter a Soldier. Later: Enter Another, and the Locus Award winner The Secret Sharer, a Joseph Conrad-inspired tale of a ship captain drawn into a strange alliance with a stowaway.
