Lester del Rey was one of the all-time greats of the science fiction field, acclaimed as both an author and an editor (he co-founded Del Rey Books with his wife, Judy-Lynn del Rey). Wildside Press is working to return all of his great science fiction and fantasy novels and short stories back into print.

It was a peaceful world, he realized, and the fear thickened in him at the discovery. In his younger days, he had cherished a multitude of worlds where the game of life's ebb and flow could be played to the hilt. It had been a lusty universe to roam then.
