*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror category and the works of John Brunner. Brunner was a very prolific writer from the late 1950s into the 1990s (he died in 1995) and wrote on many themes in different styles. He started out with conventional space opera, and developed into ‘hard sci-fi’, fantasy and dystopian futures; overpopulation was a subject often re-visited. Our stock is extensive enough to split into two parts – the first features among others the award-winning Jagged Orbit and a later hardcover first A Maze of Stars signed by the author, as well as a mix of other novels and short story collections. Some of this update’s books are featured here; full details as always in our catalogue.
