___A Heritage Of Stars___ It was city on a high rock in a vast plain -on a planet whose glory was long forgotten. The gaunt "wardens" who roamed the prairie called it Thunder, and fearet it well. But Cushing, who had read of it in the Story, who had crossed an empty continent to find it, knew it by another name: the Place of Going to the Stars.

When Padrec Morrissey and his crew crashland on Ibis 2, they find themselves trapped in the midst of a bizarre civilization organized like a hive of bees in which the majority of denizens are neuter and only the "Queens" are intelligent.

In the first half of his first collection of short stories, Watt-Evans comes up with some clever variations on a standard SF theme: imagine that you can travel from world to world among an infinite number of alternate realities, but with no way to return to where you started. Watt-Evans introduces us to a New York City cop whose job it is to deal with chunks of other universes--such as a 200-foot flying whale--periodically dropped onto Earth by ``reality storms''; a mourning widower who travels doggedly from universe to universe in a desperate attempt to resurrect his marriage; and an entrepreneur who has discovered a way to bring back marketable ideas from other worlds. Unfortunately, although the book promises ``an infinite number of possibilities'' for tales of travel between alternate realities, Watt-Evans ( The Misenchanted Sword ) seems to run out of ideas about midway through the collection. The result is an oddly disjointed book whose second half is composed of a few fantasies and some self-consciously old-fashioned stories about martians, monsters and a couple of space-colony kids who decide to build a spaceship.
