"The Choice" by Diane Duane

Aggie is a child with extraordinary powers—and no idea of how to control them. An organization of women with similar powers exists only to kidnap such young girls and "save" them from the government?s ?experiments.? Who will win the struggle for Aggie's life?

"Arena" by Fredric Brown

This intriguing account of controlled combat pits the heroes of two races in a struggle for the survival of their species. Outer Limits fans will recognize the 1960s episode Fun and Games in the roots of this story.

"The Message" by Richard A. Lupoff

When a deaf woman starts to hear for the first time, it should be good news. But what if all she can hear are incomprehensible "messages" from outer space?

?A Feasibility Study? by Michael Marano

Feasibility studies are useful to find out if a new bridge is worth building. But if the purpose of the study is to see if the human race is worth what would you do to stop it?

About the author

Diane Duane has been a writer of science fiction, fantasy, TV and film for nearly fifty years.

Besides the 1980's creation of the Young Wizards fantasy series for which she's best known, the "Middle Kingdoms" epic fantasy series, and numerous stand-alone fantasy or science fiction novels, her career has included extensive work in the Star Trek TM universe, and many scripts for live-action and animated TV series on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as work in comics and computer games. She has spent a fair amount of time on the New York Times Bestseller List, and has picked up various awards and award nominations here and there.

She lives in Ireland's County Wicklow, in the house she long shared with her much-missed husband of forty years, the screenwriter and novelist Peter Morwood.

Her favorite color is blue, her favorite food is a weird kind of Swiss scrambled-potato dish called maluns, she was born in a Year of the Dragon, and her sign is "Runway 24 Left, Hold For Clearance."
