TODAY'S TOP WRITERS PAY TRIBUTE TO A MASTER

For seven decades, L. Sprague de Camp was a giant in both science fiction and fantasy, renowned for his fast-moving action-adventure tales filled with genial humorous touches and backed up with a profound knowledge of history and science. He was also renowned for his popular (and meticulously researched) novels of historical fiction, and his authoritative non-fiction books in many fields.

Now, Hugo Award-winner and best-selling author Harry Turtledove has gathered together today's top writers and invited them to write stories in the same humorous adventure vein which de Camp practically invented.

On board are Poul Anderson, Frederik Pohl, David Drake, Judith Tarr, Esther M. Friesner, Lawrence Watt-Evans, S.M. Stirling, Michael F. Flynn, Harry Turtledove himself, and more, including a personal remembrance of de Camp by Robert Silverberg. The result is a volume worthy of the Grand Master himself, and certain to enchant the reader—completely.

The Masters Praise a Fellow Master:

"Consistently humorous . . . he fills his stage with such authentic detail that empathy is built and never broken."
—Robert A. Heinlein

"[De Camp is the epitome of science fiction in all possible ways."
—Isaac Asimov

"He was an extraordinary writer, a pillar of our field . . . de Camp was one of the shapers of modern science fiction . . . [and] a superb storyteller."
—Robert Silverberg
