Item Description
A collection of science fiction short stories that is now a collectors item. Always named among the handful of greats in the field of SF, Poul Anderson expanded both his own reputation and the horizons of the art in this collection of stories from the pinnacle of the imagination.
Contents:
"No Truce with Kings": The Hugo Award-winning – novella of a feudal America at war...
"The Critique of Impure Reason": A robot will not work because it is infatuated with modern literature and literary criticism
"Escape from Orbit": Astronauts stranded in orbit around the moon
"Eve Times Four": Space traveler Lothario is stranded on a planet with three beautiful women
"Turning Point": A first contact story that gives a haunting portrait of the price of giftedness and the loss of innocence
"Epilogue": A crew of humans return to Earth after a long absence, finding it has been taken over by a kind of transistor-based ecology of machines; a lack of understanding between the robots and the humans leads to tragedy.
Used - Very good. There is a minor rip in the top left of the dust jacket; the book itself is in excellent condition.
Published 1964. 249 page. 8-1/2 x 5-3/4 x 1" Hardback
