With the publication of his debut novel, The Privateer, in 1981, Walter Jon Williams began one of the most varied and prolific careers in contemporary popular fiction. But much of Williams's best work takes place in the shorter forms, as this generous volume, filled to overflowing with award-winning and award-nominated stories, clearly proves. The Best of Walter Jon Williams reflects its author's affection for--and mastery of--the novella form. Elsewhere in the collection, Williams offers us one brilliantly sustained creation after another. The Nebula Award-winning Daddy's World takes us into a young boy's private universe, a world of seeming miracles that conceals a tragic secret. Dinosaurs is the far future account of the incredibly destructive relationship between the star-faring human race and the less evolved inhabitants of the planet Shar. Diamonds from Tequila is a lovingly crafted example of SF Noir in which a former child actor attempts a comeback that proves unexpectedly dangerous. Surfacing is a tale of alienation featuring a research scientist more at home with the foreign and unfamiliar than with the members of his own species. These stories, together with half a dozen equally substantial tales, are the clear product of a master craftsman with a seemingly limitless imagination. The Best of Walter Jon Williams is the capstone of a truly remarkable career.
