A propos de cet article

Nine very neat volumes of miscellaneous science fiction work. Nine volumes. Two works by Roger Zelazny, an American poet and writer of fantasy and science fiction short stories and novels. Lord of Light, 1969. Written so that it could be taken as a science fiction or a fantasy novel. The context of the novel is modern western characters in a Hindu-Buddhist-influenced world. Doorways in the Sand, 1977. A galactic confederation of alien civilizations exchanges the star-stone and the Rhennius machine, mysterious alien artifacts, for the Mona Lisa and the British Crown Jewels as part of the process of admitting Earth to its organization. Three works by Wilson Tucker, an American author who became well known as a writer of mystery, action adventure, and science fiction. The Year of the Quiet Sun, 1970 A novel focused on the use of forward time travel to ascertain future political and social events. The Lincoln Hunters, 1979 Set in the year 2578, details the story of a historian from the oppressive society of that year, who travels back in time to record Abraham Lincoln's Lost Speech of May 19, 1856, in Bloomington, Illinois. The Long Loud Silence, 1980 The story takes place following a nuclear holocaust which wipes out every major city east of the Mississippi and leaves the survivors permanently infected with plague. To prevent the plague from spreading, the army sets up a cordon sanitaire along the Mississippi. Two works by James Gunn, an American science fiction writer, editor, scholar, and anthologist. The Immortals, 1962 For nomad Marshall Cartwright, the price is knowing that he will never grow old. That he will never contract a disease, an infection, or even a cold. That because he will never die, he must surrender the right to live. The Listeners, 1972 This novel centers on the search for interstellar communication and the effect that receipt of a message has. Although the search and the message are the unifying background of the novel, the chapters explore the personal effect of these events have on the lives of the characters. Two works by Norman Spinrad, an American science fiction author, essayist, and critic. The Men in the Jungle, 1972 Bart Fraden came looking for a planet to conquer - and found the hell-hole of the galaxy: Sangre - the killer planet. Bug Jack Barron, 1972. A pre-cyberpunk tale of a cynical, exploitative talk-show host who gradually uncovers a conspiracy concerning an immortality treatment and the methods used in that treatment, was serialised in the British magazine New Worlds during Michael Moorcock's editorship. In the original pictorial paper binding. Externally, very smart with light shelf wear to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd handling mark. Very Good.
