Seller's Description
SPACE ODYSSEY - An Anthology of Great Science Fiction Stories.
This exciting anthology of great science fiction writing ranges from epic tales of space travel to subtle evocations of future societies, exploring the enormous versatility of this increasingly popular form of fiction.
Many of the great names, from the first acclaimed pioneer of the genre. H.G. Wells, to the modern masters such as Frederick Pohl, Philip K. Dick and Poul Anderson, are represented, with stories which bring the future vividl and often terrifyingly to life by the amazing power of their creative imagination.
There are also stories by lesser-known talents, such as Rachel Pollack's haunting tale of anxiety and pssession. Is Your Child Using Drugs?, or Carter Scholz's ingenious exploration of the nature of creativity and time. The Ninth Symphony of Ludwig Van Beethoven and Other lost songs.
The collection spans changes of mood from the weird quasi-erotic world of Roger Zelazny's Nebula award-winning story. The Engine at Heartspring's Center, through stark and spine-chilling realism, as in Ray Bradbury's tale of murder and mystery on Mars The Third Expedition, to the zany humour of Fritz Leiber and Robert A. Heinlein's hilarious cautionary tale, '- And He Built a Crooked House -'.
With its unique combination of hunour, horror and fantasy, this anthology will form a perfect inytoductory volume for those attracted to the genre by the popular appeal of recent SF films, while providing entertainment and fascination for any devotee
