Synopsis

A Science Fiction Extravaganza. CONTENTS: The Fatal Fulfillment - Poul Anderson; * Will In - Frank Herbert; Maverick - Gordon R. Dickson; The Region Between - Harlan Ellison; Of Death What Dreams - Keith Laumer. SYNOPSIS: "...Send me your tired, your poor, your hopeless, yearning to be *. To them I raise the lamp beside the brazen door..." So reads the inscription over the portal to the Euthanasia Center. From a common beginning--William Bailey's death there--five of today's top writers of science fiction create their separate visions of Bailey's fate. No two are even remotely alike--and the brilliance of this bravura performance suggests why these five writers have collected nine Hugo awards among them! - and - Five of today's most exciting s-f writers take off in five very different directions from one starting scene: Bailey's death at the Euthanasia center. The result is as gripping as it is unusual. Five Fates is the sort of book you don't want to lend to your friends, for fear they won't * it.
