The Best Of All Possible Worlds
In his introduction, Robinson says the Heinlein has never been anthologized, the Niven has only been reprinted once in six years, and nobody knows about the Sturgeon. This is only the beginning of finding buried treasure - and that's the theme of this book. Each author chose, and provided an introduction to, the story following theirs (Robinson wrote the intro for Heinlein's choice).

Telempath
Spider's 1976 first novel, in its umpteenth reincarnation.
Isham Stone is the second-best assassin left in a shattered world. He's many miles from home, half-dead, his left arm is gangrenous, and he possesses - like everyone else - a sense of smell 1000 times better than a wolf's.
Ahead of him, in the stinking ruins of New York, hides Carlson, the greatest killer of all time. All Isham has to do is stay alive long enough to find Carlson and kill him.
The first third of this book, as "By Any Other Name," won the Hugo Award for Best Novella, the first of Spider's 3 Hugos.
