Catherine Lucille Moore (1911-1987) was an American science fiction and fantasy writer. She was one of the first women to write in the genre and paved the way for many other female writers in speculative fiction. This volume collects two of her longer short works with the theme of time travel. In "Greater than Gods," a scientist and inventor working on a way to select the sex of unborn children opens up two possible futures for the human race. But when both potential futures begin to communicate with him, he finds his choice will determine the future of the whole human race in ways he never anticipated. In "Trysts in Time," a bored adventurer sets off through time . . . and finds more than he bargained for in a beautiful woman who keeps reappearing throughout all of history!

This is not your average teenage love story. This is a roller-coaster ride of a relationship concerning two teens, who couldn't be more different from each other. Donna is the result of a traditional and religious family; while Chris, is an atheist, retro-hippie from a liberal family. Initially, the courtship runs smoothly. Ultimately, their different beliefs and perspectives invade their similarities. It seems impossible for them to endure as a pair, except that they both share a quest for Truth and knowledge, as well as a strong, physical attraction, which makes it difficult for them to go their separate ways. Together, amid contentiousness with one another and admiration of one another, they claw at the Truth, while referencing the worlds of literature, religion and philosophy. As they try to answer many of life's questions, will their differences tear them apart? Only time will tell.
