Eddie Hertz is a 12-year-old genius who patrols the streets of Nirvana, hoping to foil the schemes of the evil Mephisto. Being small for his age, Eddie relies on a Batman-style gadgets belt and acrobatic skills as well as street smarts and ingenuity. Eddie has a dream, to become like Damocles, Nirvana's great superhero. To accomplish that goal, Eddie invented a device that theoretically will endow him with superpowers, but using it on himself could be dangerous, maybe even fatal, so he doesn't have the nerve to try it. When Mephisto unleashes an earthquake machine to terrorize the city, Eddie gains a surprising ally - his quirky eight-year-old sister, Samantha, who comes up with an unexpected way to help in the frantic battle to prevent the impending destruction. Working as a team, the siblings fight Mephisto in a race against time to save Nirvana and the world from devastating earthquakes, all the while receiving advice from a computerized version of Damocles, who has been rendered incapable of helping in physical form.

New, fresh, and different is tricky in the storytelling business, as rare as diamonds, but, as a born storyteller, Harlan made story brave, daring, surprising again, brought an edge of the gritty and the strange, the erudite and the street-smart, found ways to make words truly come alive again in an over-worded world. From the watershed of the ’50s and ’60s when the world found its dynamic new identity, to a self-imitating, sadly all too derivative present, he has kept storytelling cool and hip, exhilarating, unexpected yet always vital, able to get under your skin and change your life. And now we have it. The Top of the Volcano is the collection we hoped would come along eventually, twenty-three of Harlan’s very best stories, every one being award-winning, brought together in a single volume at last. There’s the unforgettable power of "Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman, The Whimper of Whipped Dogs and Mefisto in Onyx, the heart-rending pathos of Jeffty Is Five and Paladin of the Lost Hour, the chilling terror of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream, the ingenuity and startling intimacy of Adrift Just Off the Islets of Langerhans… These stories are full of the light and life of someone with things worth saying and the skills to do it, presented in the book we had to have -- not just a Best-of (though given what’s on offer it may just fall out that way) but in one easy-to-grab volume perfect for newbies, long-time fans and seasoned professionals alike to remind them just how it can be done.

Never trust anyone that brings an energy rifle to a diplomatic meeting.In 2148, first contact for the human race came in a somewhat expected way.

This is what eventually happened, but not in any way we had previously envisioned it. Because when it finally happened, we had no choice but to shoot the bastards.
