An original collection of thirteen exciting science fiction & fantasy stories by the #1 bestselling author of the Star Wars Thrawn trilogy.

He captivated readers with his creation of General Thrawn beginning with his #1 New York Times–bestselling Star Wars: Heir to the Empire. Now, Hugo Award–winning author Timothy Zahn shares thirteen of his masterful science fiction and fantasy stories, previously published separately in magazines and anthologies throughout his career, together for the first time in one original collection. Take a trip down memory lane with Zahn and prepare yourself for a journey across space and time where you will see wonders of technology, powerful magic, and chilling monsters. In “The Battle of Space Fort Jefferson,” a mild-mannered Park Service Ranger must deal with terrorists aboard a former space prison and quarantine center that’s now a largely deserted tourist attraction. Administrators from Earth discover an alien race’s secret to longevity in “A Lingering Death.” A wizard prepares for the army of the evil witch king in “A Touch of Rosemary.” Scientists discover the dangers of first contact in the novella Cordon Sanitaire. A jazz music aficionado travels two hundred years back in time to 1953 Pittsburgh in “For Love of Amanda.” A vampire helps Hollywood celebrities avoid the paparazzi in “Vampin’ Down the Avenue.” A werewolf and a mermaid encounter murder in the countryside in “Protection.” These stories and more await readers in this exciting collection, full of all the action, mystery, suspense, thrills, chills, and humor that have made Zahn a leader in science fiction and fantasy.
