Synopsis

In the World of Science Fiction... this Anthology stands out for three reasons:

The stories. The art. The extras. Which will you love most?

Standing on the shoulders of giants, these writers of the future have earned their place in the hallowed pages of volume 38. With 25 award-winning authors and illustrators, this collection is a masterwork.

These diverse stories will fill you with wonder and new ideas. And a few just might break your heart.

Just imagine...

• It's game on, the fate of the universe is on the line--and you're about to go all in.
• Saving the mammoths is in your hands--can you conjure the magic to make it happen?
• You've got a monster BFF--whom you're hiding from your own monster-hunting family.
• You're part of a sting, out to catch some bar hoppers who are not only bending their elbows, but bending time as well.
• And much more!

Think you've seen it all? Think again.

The beautiful art and writing tips by Brian Herbert & Kevin J. Anderson, Frank Herbert, L. Ron Hubbard, and Diane Dillon are just as wonderful as the collection of stories. How would you like to read one of Frank Herbert's rare stories or know his "Single Most Important Piece of Advice?"

Volume 38 is a treasure.

You'll love this collection from past and future science fiction masters, because these stories are hand-picked by some of your favorite authors--including Brandon Sanderson, Orson Scott Card, Nnedi Okorafor, Robert J. Sawyer, and Jody Lynn Nye.
