Synopsis: From the front flap of the Gregg Press edition: "The Night Face and Other Stories is an exclusive Gregg Collection that brings together for the first time the short novel and three stories set in the post-Empire era of Poul Anderson's Technic Civilization Series. Set on the planet Gwydion in the fourth millennium A.D., The Night Face concerns the conflicts and dislocations that develop when an outpost planet is contacted again after 1000 years of isolation. In "A Tragedy of Errors" a trader discovers that the connotations of his language are drastically and dangerously different on a distant planet. "The Sharing of Flesh" is a tragic exploration of the cultural and moral dimensions of cannibalism against a background of grief and revenge. And "Starfog" is a fascinating adventure in unexplored deep space. The Night Face and Other Stories is the first volume in The Worlds of Poul Anderson, a seven-volume collection of five novels and 19 stories by one of the giants of science fiction. This exclusive collection includes an informative introduction by the author."
