The second Isaac's Universe anthology continues Asimov's shared setting with contributions from Hal Clement, Poul Anderson, Harry Turtledove, Janet Kagan, and others, following the alliance of starfaring species as they push further into contact, conflict, and reluctant cooperation. Clement's title novella anchors the collection, while Anderson's Woodcraft catches up with Naxian settlers decades after his contribution to the first volume. Together the stories widen the series' cast of species and worlds beyond what the opening anthology introduced.
