Glass and Amber, the Boskone 24 commemorative book, is a collection by

relationship between science fiction and "romantic fiction" (in the

It tells how a woman's Luck causes some very powerful people to save
her brother's life.
- "The Avoidance Factor," an original article discussing the

they might be up to, including why they may not have space travel
capabilities as well as several other articles and stories.
