This collection of stories from the Hugo Award-winning science fiction author ranges from alien planets to the more peculiar corners of the American landscape.

A pioneering voice in twentieth-century science fiction, Clifford D. Simak earned his place alongside such luminaries as Isaac Asimov and Ray Bradbury. While some of his stories imagined interplanetary space travel, many others depicted strange events in otherwise ordinary American towns--in what some readers would come to think of as Simak Country. This volume contains examples of each.

In Horrible Example, a small-town drunk reveals the extraordinary but essential role he plays in the community that shuns him. A space crew attempts to find substances on Jupiter that might help cure ailing humans back on Earth, in Clerical Error. And in the title story, a seemingly miraculous pile of treasure is scorned by a mysterious man of God.

Each story includes an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor of the Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this ebook.
