“The Night of the Vampyres”: A chilling ultimatum of atomic proportions begins a countdown to disaster in George R. R. Martin’s gripping drama.
“Hero”: Joe Haldeman’s short story that led to his classic of interstellar combat, The Forever War.
“Ender’s Game”: The short story that gave birth to Orson Scott Card’s masterpiece of military science fiction.
