PHILIP JOSE FARMER • POUL ANDERSON • CHAD OL!VER ANNĘ McCAFFREY • EOGAR PANGBORN THOMAS N. SCORTIA • GENE WOLFE • GAIŁ KIMBERLY

These writers, widely hailed as among the best in the current science fiction field, have joined forces with the prolific editing talents of Roger Elwood to create the first truły unique anthology series in years.

In this second volume in the series, Annę McCaffrey returns the reader to the world of Milekey Mountains-a godforsaken colony planet where Killashandra, the Crystal Singer, is losing her capacity for detecting the killer storms that will wreck her mind. Philip Jose Farmer, in "Startouched',' presents a further adventure of Paul Eyre, who has been contacted by an alien creature in the astonishing form of a beautiful woman wkh the hind parts of a lion-a sphinx! The bther authors draw us back to the worlds they created in CONTINUUM 1, and Gaił Kimberly goes to the robot-dominated futurę created by Dean R. Koontz in the revolving authorsbip series that ends this volume.

From LIBRARY JOURNAL, on CONTINUUM 2:

"...continues the overa!l high quality of the first, with definite trends beginning to emerge....this second volume lives up to, or perhaps surpasses the promise of the first. If the remaining volumes continue the good work, this series may well be a trend-setter in sf anthologies"
