From the back cover:

What does the future hold for humankind? When we finally break free of this planet to launch ourselves into space on a more permanent basis, what will the classifieds of tomorrow read like? What will be the hottest jobs? Which positions will offer the chance for adventure, advancement, discovery, travel to distant worlds, and the accumulation of wealth?

Here are fourteen stories that answer these questions, tales of the challenges, perils, and responsibilities that workers of the future may have to face – from a librarian who could determine the fate of an alien race ... to a pair of space mechanics assigned a repair job for a species that despises humankind ... to a ballet instructor who must find a way to tailor human dance forms for a multilimbed sentient being ...

 Editor’s Note:

This is my first anthology for DAW Books and working with these fine authors and artist has been a tremendous honour. My thanks to Sheila Gilbert for giving me this opportunity. Thanks to all those at Teknobooks and DAW who produced such a gorgeous book. Finally, my sincerest gratitude to Martin H. Greenberg for believing in me and helping make it happen. A hero, a friend, and a gentleman, indeed.
