Book Description
Strange, poignant tales of life in outer space and on tomorrow’s Earth from the multiple Hugo Award–winning Grand Master of Science Fiction. Virtually every major author from science fiction’s fabled golden age—including Poul Anderson, Isaac Asimov, and Robert A. Heinlein—agreed that Clifford D. Simak was one of the greatest among them. Named Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America, the award-winning author created enduring visions of future worlds, perilous space explorations, and weird alien encounters as rich in emotion and humanity as they are in ingenious invention. This is an essential collection of short fiction from the remarkable mind and heart of a true giant of twentieth-century speculative fiction, featuring powerful examples of literary science fiction at its very best. Beginning with the unforgettable title story—a wry and chilling horror tale about cloning and alien invasion that inspired the classic teleplay “The Duplicate Man” from the television series The Outer Limits—Simak propels the reader on a breathtaking journey across the galaxies and into the future. He then enthralls us with the strange chronicle of twin siblings, one tied to the Earth, the other drawn to the stars; imaginings of a volatile reunion of two former enemies who must join forces on Jupiter’s moon or face extinction; and the story of a house in the middle of nowhere that serves as a gateway back to prehistoric times. With his wondrous tales of a journalist’s miraculous discovery of fairies and sprites in the world, a census three centuries in the making that uncovers an unknown leap forward in human evolution, and the nightmare realities of future elder care, Simak demonstrates once again that he is not only one of the greatest science fiction writers of the twentieth century, but also one of the greatest of all time.

Book Description
James Harris has a busy, professional life in Edinburgh, the Scottish capital. He needs a complete break, and returns to the subtropical Island of Madeira, to its capital, Funchal, in spring and autumn. There is a slight air of mystery about Mr James as the locals call him. He likes to be incognito, but also a bit of a socialite. He likes to wine and dine, and considers himself a bit of a gourmet. His taste in music is electric. His tapping feet can lead him to the dance floor, with relish! He is not normally an emotional man but, one afternoon, in the square by the cathedral, he has an unexpected and profound emotional experience – a thought-provoking experience. All his senses are explored on this subtropical island. And, of course, the sight of the vibrant, purple-blue Jacaranda trees features heavily in James’ daily life, as he strolls along the avenues of Funchal. James is presented with opportunities which he simply cannot refuse, and quite unexpectedly, he becomes the ‘main attraction’ on the dance floor, with the lady of his dreams! Does James lead a double life? Mr James can be incognito, a suspected spy, a man of mystery, yet a socialite, and sociable with it! Who exactly is Mr James?

Book Description
A stranger introduces himself to James and Sandra Carold at the theatre. He explains to them that he is psychometric and can pick up vibrations from objects and can often "see" some of the history of the object, the people who owned it and the places it has been. Years before this story starts this stranger (Malcolm Manston) befriended James father on a train journey on the way to an archaeological dig in Pompeii. Together using Malcolm's talent they uncovered some of the secrets of the town that the ash from Vesuvius buried during the eruption of 79 AD. Malcolm's psychic gift has recently shown him of the whereabouts of a massive hoard of Roman coins and treasure in a secret room in a villa buried beneath the pumice on the slopes of Vesuvius. This gripping adventure story follows the fortunes of James, Sandra and Malcolm in their race to unearth the hoard. They find they are up against an unscrupulous millionaire determined to have the treasure for himself, a powerful crooked Italian official and even the Volcano itself whose rumblings warn of a possible repeat of the eruption in 79 A.D. As the tale unfolds James, Sandra and Malcolm find inner strengths, and new friends in Italy and England who with their various skills help them in their struggle.
