The New Hugo Winners, Vol. 2
YA-- An engrossing collection of short stories, novellas, and novelettes that have been recipients of the Hugo Award between 1986-1988. Students seeking prehistory with a modern twist should delight in Robert Silverberg's ``Gilgamesh in the Outback,'' charactered by heroes of old and engaged in the never-ending quest for permanent friendship. Frederik Pohl offers science-fiction fans a choice of endings for his post-holocaust survival story. Although each selection involves interaction with other worlds, their premises differ. This is a thought-provoking anthology that would make an excellent read-aloud and a fine introduction to fiction, science fiction, and fantasy. The appendix includes all of the Hugo winners between 1953-1991.Copyright 1992 Reed Business Information, Inc.
