Books Update: A Baker’s Dozen – 12 SF Novels (And One Collection)
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’ve just added 12 novels, all by different authors, all published in the 1960s and 1970s. There’s a range of themes including badly behaved robots or computers (Unwise Child by Randall Garret, The Fall Of Colossus by D F Jones, and Limbo ’90 by Bernard Wolfe) and dystopian futures (The Joy Makers by James Gunn, Candy Man by Vincent King, Guernica Night by Barry N Malzberg, and Code Three by Rick Raphael). The other novels deal with alien invasions in various guises (Planet Of The Dreamers by John D Macdonald, The Bright Phoenix by Harold Mead, Shadows In The Sun by Chad Oliver, and Cardinal Of The Stars by Francis G Rayer) and cold-war genetics shenanigans (G.O.G.666 by John Taine). The final book is a collection of short stories by the sole woman in this update, Katherine MacLean’s The Diploids And Other Flights Of Fancy.
