Tomorrow lies in ambush

the long version

A Baker's Dozen of Bob Shaw's Best short fiction, including: What Time Do You Call This? - a wildly ironic story about a bank robber who shuttles to an alternate universe and runs into himself. Communication - a modest plan by a shaman spiritualist gets out of hand when the dead begin to contact him. ..And Isles Where Good Men Lie - a space caravan of scale-armored, bacteria-laden immigrants begins to make landings on Earth every twenty-two hours..and is likely to do so for the next twelve centuries. Note that the UK editions of this title have two stories less than the US edition ("Element of Chance" and "Stormseeker")
