For years, those bringing SF into the classroom have had to improvise their course materials from anthologies and collections not designed for classwork. Now, David G. Hartwell, award-winning anthologist, and Professor Milton T. Wolf, Vice President of the Science Fiction Research Association, present a carefully selected reading anthology reflecting the SF field in all its modern diversity. Here are Golden Age writers like John W. Campbell and Jack Williamson, and here also are towering latter-day titans like Gene Wolfe and Ursula K. Le Guin, along with today''s popular writers such as Greg Bear, Robert Jordan, and Vernor Vinge.

During the time of the Crusades, an unlikely trio - a Christian princess, her affianced prince, and a Muslim assassin - embarks on a quest to the court of the most fearsome warrior the world has yet known, Genghis Khan. A rousing tale of adventure and romance about three young people who must grapple with fundamental issues of loyalty, friendship, faith, honour, and courage against the backdrop of conflicts that still resonate today.
