From the stories in the collection you will learn the story of the settlers who fought off an attempt to seize their planet, read how an ordinary person turns into a cynical executioner, travel through time with Shakespeare's heroes, and witness the confrontation between the colonists and the nature of the planet they are colonizing. A philosophical parable will tell about the fate of a City corroded by vices; stories about new technologies will show their influence on the relationships and destinies of people, as well as the ability of cats to become the engine of progress. The adventure block presents an adventurous story about an attempt to kidnap a girl, a detective story and a story about war.
