C.L. Moore -- one of the pioneer women writers of science fiction and fantasy, creator of Northwest Smith and Jirel of Joiry -- struck a new, strange note in her stories. Judgment Night displays her talents at their most vivid, with tales of eerie adventure on far worlds, of star-sweeping conflict and emotional intensity of triumph and bizarre doom.

In addition to the title novella, this collection presents four exciting shorter works: "Paradise Street," "Promised Land," "The Code," and "Heir Apparent," all infused with the special magic of C.L. Moore.
