The finest and bestselling writers of the genre

have come together in a rare and moving tribute

to one of the people who made science fiction

the popular and innovative field it is today.

Terry Carr was one of the most influential

editors that sf has ever known. Through pub-

lication of such novels as The Left Hand of

Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin and Past Master

by R.A. Lafferty, he shaped the sfrevolution of

the late sixties. With his annual anthology,

Universe, and his Best of the Year collections,

he never let us forget that sf could and should

be fresh and meaningful. And finally, in the

eighties, he discovered a new generation of

sf talents through his New Ace SF Specials-

such blazing talents as William Gibson, Lucius

Shepard, and Kim Stanley Robinson.

Terry Cart died, of heart failure, in April of

1987; this volume is a memorial anthology

created by some of the people whose careers he

touched, and contains original fiction, written

especially for this book, by writers such as

Robert Silverberg, Ursula K. Le Guin, Roger

Zelazny and Gene Wolfe.
