English Summary/英文概要： Here is an eclectic collection of science fiction stories (and three short poems) by multiple award winning author Michael Flynn, author of such acclaimed titles as Eifelheim (Hugo nominee) and Firestar, called by the San Diego Union Tribune a ’knockout’. This collection itself includes tow Hugo nominated stories ("The Forest of Time" and "Melodies of the Heart") as well as a selection of some of the author’s finest works of short fiction that were originally published in Analog Science Fiction and Fact.
Included in this edition are three humorous poems which also originally appeared in Analog.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 載譽無數的科幻小說作家Michael Flynn的兩部作品Eifelheim和Firestar被聖地牙哥聯合論壇報稱之為“攝人心魄”。此選輯將作者兩部受“雨果獎”提名的小說The Forest of Time和Melodies of the Heart納入其中，其他還有一些曾經發表在Analog Science Fiction and Fact上的優秀短篇小說和詩歌。(Claire)
Awards/获奖情况：This collection includes the Hugo Award- nominated title story, in which a time traveler lands in an alternate Pennsylvania, and eight others, most previously published, that are replete with skillfully drawn characters. Flynn (Firestar, LJ 1/96) provides commentary with each story. Highly recommended.---From Library Journal It is hard to write good science fiction that is actually about science, hard to write good fantasy that is more than recycled Conan or Frodo, and just about impossible to do both well. Flynn, however, does just that in the stories in this collection as he treads the border between fantasy and sf and takes ample excursions into the hinterlands, having lots of fun in the process. The stories range in tone from the title piece’s somewhat skewed approach toward alternate history to the poignant evocation of the human condition in "Melodies of the Heart," and there is scintillating writing and convincing characterization everywhere. Flynn’s afterword to each story adds affable commentary on the art of writing and on the never sufficiently answered question of where a writer’s ideas come from. Altogether, Flynn’s stories constitute a robust addition to scientific science fiction--and fantasy.---Dennis Winters, From Booklist
About the Author/作者介绍： Michael Flynn, sometimes published as Michael F. Flynn, works full time as a statistician and writes science fiction as a sideline. Nearly all of Flynn’s work falls under the category of hard science fiction, although his treatment of it can be unusual since he has applied the rigor of hard science fiction to "softer" sciences such as sociology in works such as In the Country of the Blind. Much of his short fiction has appeared in Analog Science Fiction and Fact.
Michael Flynn，全名Michael F. Flynn，統計員，兼職撰寫科幻小說。雖然在他的作品中，諸如In the Country of the Blind，寫作手法相對“柔和”，但是幾乎他的所有作品都無一例外歸類到硬科幻小說。Michael Flynn的很多短篇小說都刊登在經久不衰的科幻小說雜誌Analog Science Fiction and Fact上.
