Hugo Award winner Harry Turtledove has garnered high praise for his best - selling alternate history science fiction, and he's equally a master of science fiction adventure, as he proves in this new Baen Mega Book containing two complete novels and a baker's dozen of brilliant shorter works. Earthgrip - young Jennifer Logan just wanted to teach Middle English, but ended up on an interstellar trading ship headed for the adventure of a lifetime. Non-Interference - the Survey Service was supposed to observe alien worlds, without any interference. Then, an expedition broke the rule and an entire planet was at risk! Kaleidoscope - suppose a vampire was sent to catch Jack the Ripper? Suppose all the galaxy has star ships, but hasn't developed Earth's military technology: And much more.
