Blurb: “For the past twenty-five years, Donald A. Wollheim, the dean of science fiction
editors, has been scouring the short fiction marketplaces, searching for exciting
new talents in the field as well as stories of outstanding quality by the finest
established authors. And for twenty-five years, he has published these
masterpieces in an ANNUAL WORLD'S BEST collection which has gained
international recognition as the series that has consistently pinpointed works
which became award winners and the stories which marked the beginning of
future science fiction trends.
And 1990 more than lives up to this tradition with a stellar collection of stories
that take us to such times and places as: twenty-first century America, where
Abraham Lincoln is about to discover how one decision can alter the course of
the future; to Central America with two newsmen who stumble upon the scoop
of their careers in an isolated backwater where war has been sparked by
forbidden biological experimentation; to a modern-day lab where a scientist
has discovered a means of communicating with those living in the past--but is
it our past or some other Earth's?
"Donald A. Wollheim... he says best, and he means it."
