Under Cover of Darkness
"In our modern-day world where rumors of conspiracies and covert organizations can spread with the speed of the internet, it´s often hard to separate truth from fiction. Down through the centuries there have been groups sworn to protect important artifacts and secrets, perhaps exercising their power and connections -- possibly even mystical affiliations -- to guide the world´s future. Now some of science fiction´s and fantasy´s finest minds offer up fourteen stories of those unseen powers operating for their own purposes, whether on our own world or in far-distant places and other times -- even in fantastical realms. From an unexpected ally who aids Lawrence in Arabia, to an assassin hired to target the one person he´d never want to kill, to a young woman who stumbles into an elfin war in the heart of London, to a man who steals time -- here are unforgettable tales that will start you wondering whether someone is watching you from the shadows or changing your destiny at this very moment"--P. [4] of cover. Featuring contributions from Doranna Durgin, Larry Niven, Tanya Huff, and Douglas Smith, this collection of fourteen original stories ponders the existence of secret groups--with mystical affiliations--that guard historical artifacts and secrets, protecting and shaping the world´s future.
