*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: Short story collections are always popular, so we’ve added more than a dozen examples of collections by some of the best SF authors. James Blish contributes Galactic Cluster, James Gunn Future Imperfect and Clifford Simak provides Aliens For Neighbours. Thera are three from John Brunner (No Future In It, Now Then and Out Of My Mind), four from Keith Laumer (Nine By Laumer, Galactic Diplomat, Retief: Emissary To The Stars and Retief Of The CDT) and six from Robert Silverberg (Born With The Dead, Earth’s Other Shadow, Needle In A Timestack, The Best Of Robert Silverberg, To Worlds Beyond and Unfamiliar Territory). With reviews including ‘Blish’s starkly realistic stories mirror the perils of the world of the future .. – where scientists can master the intricacies of space travel … yet cannot control man’s worst instincts’ (Galactic Cluster), ‘9 dazzling short stories’ (Nine By Laumer), ‘rich in that engaging ingenuity which Simak’s innumerable fans know so well’ (Aliens For Neighbours) and a brilliantly grudging endorsement of Robert Silverberg from Isaac Asimov (To Worlds Beyond), these all come highly recommended.
