Having written over 200 stories, this is hopefully the first of several collections of Phillips challenging, off-trail fiction that tackles complex ideas like time travel, alternate universes, artificial intelligence and the completely inexplicable with a grounding in deft character work and clever, brisk prose. Included in this collection is the harrowing, Hugo-nominated novelette Rat in the Skull. (Summary by Ben Tucker)

James Smithson is best known as the founder of the Smithsonian Institution, but few people know his full and fascinating story. He was a widely respected chemist and mineralogist and a member of the Royal Society, but in 1865, his letters, collection of 10,000 minerals, and more than 200 unpublished papers were lost to a fire in the Smithsonian Castle. His scientific legacy was further written off as insignificant in an 1879 essay published through the Smithsonian 50 years after his death - a claim that author Steven Turner demonstrates is far from the truth.
