Publisher's summary

Nine tales of imagination and wonder from one of the formative voices of science fiction and fantasy, the author of Way Station and City.

Named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America, Clifford D. Simak was a preeminent voice during the decades that established science fiction as a genre to be reckoned with. Held in the same esteem as fellow luminaries Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, and Ray Bradbury, his novels continue to enthrall today's audiences. And his short fiction is still as gripping and surprising now as when it first entertained an entire generation of fans.

The title story is just one example of this. Cheviot Sherwood doesn't believe in miracles. They never seem to pay off. So when he's marooned on a planet with no plan for escape and no working radio, he takes it in stride and prepares for a long stay gathering food, making shelter, and collecting all the diamonds the world has to offer. But when a ship like none he's ever encountered lands, he sees his salvation—and an opportunity to take the priceless craft for himself. Unfortunately, his "rescuer" has the same idea . . . This volume also includes the celebrated short works "Eternity Lost," "Shotgun Cure," and "Paradise," among others.
