Worlds Without End and Other Stories — Clifford D. Simak

A link between yesterday and the tomorrow that was here already …
The closer you move to something the farther away it got …
Dreams constructed and maintained by society …
Stranded on an alien world with nobody to talk to except your spaceship …
A world-to-world search for an elusive secret …
The bizarre, weird, strange creations of thing and worlds only Science Fiction Grand Master, Clifford D. Simak could have written … and make believable.
