Lest Darkness Fall/To Bring the Light
AuthorL. Sprague de Camp
ISBN0671877364
Abisso del Passato è un racconto lungo ma molto intrigante, a differenza del racconto di Mark Twain "A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court" qui la ricostruzione storica è vera ed eccellente.

Dhrawn was a giant rockball, more than 3,000 times the mass of Earth. Perhaps a planet, perhaps a nearly dead star, these 17 billion square miles of mystery cried out for investigation. But its corrosive atmosphere and crushing gravity assured that no human would ever set foot on its surface.
Those...
By Any Other Name

Far Horizons: All New Tales from the Greatest Worlds of Science Fiction
AuthorRobert Silverberg
ISBN0060817127
*****"Old Music and the Slave Woman" - Ursula K. LeGuin.
Yes, I checked this book out from the library because I saw that it had a LeGuin story I hadn't read before! And yes, this alone was worth the price of admission. (Well, since it was from the library there wasn't a price, but, you know...)

The Berserker Wars
AuthorFred Saberhagen
ISBN0523485204
Toss up between 3 and 4 stars so I've gotta give it the benefit of the doubt. Especially since one particular story in here titled WINGS OUT OF SHADOW was absolutely incredible. Instant classic right there. It was so good that it made me want to stay up all night writing myself. (Of course I couldn't because...

Anthonology
AuthorPiers Anthony
ISBN0812531140
An absolutely-inappropriate-for-children book that I read from cover to cover, again and again, as a boy in the mid-1990s. (In fairness to my parents, this really does represent the absolute nadir of what they let me get away with.)

There are one or two stories I remember being rather harmless...

The Gateway Trip
AuthorFrederik Pohl
ISBN0345375440
Cuando nos ha gustado un libro o una saga, siempre hemos querido saber más sobre ese mundo, esos personajes o esas situaciones que se hablan de pasada en la historia principal pero que por motivos de ritmo literario (es decir, no hacer libros de 1500 páginas) no tienen cabida.
Pues Frederik Pohl...
