Clifford Donald Simak was honored by fans with three Hugo Awards and by colleagues with one Nebula Award. The Science Fiction Writers of America made him its third SFWA Grand Master and the Horror Writers Association made him one of three inaugural winners of the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement. Simak spent most of his professional career working in Minnesota for the Minneapolis Star and Tribune, but nowadays he's remembered mostly for his science fiction writing -- novels like Mastodonia (1978), The Visitors (1980), Project Pope (1981), Where the Evil Dwells (1982), Special Deliverance (1982), Highway of Eternity (1986).

But even so -- it's Simak, and it's got a quality that rises over that . . .
