The series began in 1980 with ''Aliens!'', issued by Pocket Books. Ace took over publication with ''Unicorns!'', the second volume, in 1982.

The "magic" guideline was abandoned in 1996 when the series switched its focus to more strictly science fiction themes, beginning with ''Hackers''. Volumes have usually appeared at the rate of one or two per year, with 38 volumes as of 2007. The stories selected for the books tend to be reprints of pr ...
