The book is a collection of adventure and hard science fiction short stories by the same author. Most anthologies are written by a number of different authors and if you like one story you cannot be sure you will like the rest. On the other hand, if you like a story in an anthology written by the same author, more than likely you will enjoy all of the stories. The first five stories are exciting adventure tales. The last four are hard science fiction situations. Both the adventure and hard science fiction are full of science and engineering.

This is the definitive collection of the twentieth-century's most characteristic genre--science fiction. The tales are organized chronologically to give readers a sense of how the genre's range, vitality, and literary quality have evolved over time. Each tale offers a unique vision, an altered reality, a universe all its own. Readers can sample H.G. Well's 1903 story ""The Land Ironclads"" (which predicted the stalemate of trench warfare and the invention of the tank), Jack Williamson's ""The Metal Man,"" a rarely anthologized gem written in 1928, Clifford D. Simak's 1940s classic, ""Desertion,"" set on ""the howling maelstrom that was Jupiter,"" Frederik Pohl's 1955 ""The Tunnel Under the World"" (with its gripping first line, ""On the morning of June 15th, Guy Burckhardt woke up screaming out of a dream""), right up to the current crop of writers, such as cyberpunks Bruce Sterling and William Gibson, whose 1982 story ""Burning Chrome"" foreshadows the idea of virtual reality, and David Brin's ""Piecework,"" written in 1990. In addition, Shippey provides an informative Introduction, examining the history of the genre, its major themes, and its literary techniques.

The English Teacher Chronicles is divided into three "miniseries," each written during a particular year of school. The "miniseries" are subdivided into several short stories. The first, written in the seventh grade, involves an English teacher, who is actually an alien from a distant planet, and her attempts to take over the world. The second, written in the tenth grade, involves an English class's field trip to Iraq going horribly wrong. The third group of short stories, written in the twelfth grade, involves an English class attempting to travel through time to the Renaissance era, but ending up in 1945 Germany. The significance of these short stories is that the characters are all real people- classmates and teachers of the author.
