Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vulcan the god has a hard task to perform for his bored and restless colleagues — forge 12 magic Swords, quenched with human blood, and scatter them across the world. Each Sword possesses a different power. With them the gods will play a new, grand, and glorious Game. Mere humans foolishly striving for dominion, wealth and glory, are invited to risk their puny lives by joining in. (Later, the gods realize with horror that something has gone wrong in the forging, and with the Game. The Swords are much too powerful, controlling chance, enhancing fortune, changing destiny. And lethal even to their divine creators.) Jord the Smith, drafted to help Vulcan in his task, loses his right arm in the process (receiving the Sword Townsaver as pay). He is too weak to claim Mala, his bride-to-be, who joins a traditional fertility rite, where her partner might be the enigmatic Emperor, his face hidden by a leather mask. Nine months later, she gives birth to Mark. Thirteen years pass, then Townsaver wipes out a raiding party on orange-furred warbeasts, sent to Mark’s village. It falls to Mark to carry the blade away to hide or destroy it.

A story co-authored with Alexei Panshin takes us back in time, sort-of. Several stories are set in Chicago where alien visitations are recorded, one at the Art Institute another somewhere under Lake Michigan. And at what might be Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry, Fred takes a look into the mind of an early computer named Martha. An alternate history tale with psychic overtones, Life Force, has never appeared in any earlier collections of Fred’s work. So if you missed the July 1974 Galaxy printing, now is your chance to discover one fascinating possibility in a post-nuclear-war world. No Berserker stories appear in this volume. Fred’s Berserker short stories are collected separately in two volumes Berserkers The Early Tales and Berserkers The Later Tales.
