A brand new anthology of 6 classic Science Fiction stories by some of the greatest writers ever. This is a 'must have' book to add to your collection. "For me science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects." Gene Roddenberry, creator of "Star Trek" This new Sci Fi book includes The Skull by brilliant author Philip K. Dick. The plot for The Skull revolves around protagonist Conger, a man who is given a chance to get out of jail if he agrees to do a job: traveling back in time in order to kill a man who would later prove to change the world. Since Philip Dick's death ten of his stories have been adapted into popular films, including Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, Minority Report, Paycheck, Next, Screamers, and The Adjustment Bureau. Other titles and authors are Anthem by Ayn Rand, The Big Trip Up Yonder by Kurt Vonnegut, JR, The Defenders, another great story by Philip K. Dick, At the Earth's Core by Edgar Rice Burroughs and The Next Logical Step written by Ben Bova. If you love classic Sci Fi then you are guaranteed to love 6 Of The Best Ever Classic Sci Fi Stories... "In science there is a dictum: don't add an experiment to an experiment. Don't make things unnecessarily complicated. In writing fiction, the more fantastic the tale, the plainer the prose should be. Don't ask your readers to admire your words when you want them to believe your story." Ben Bova.
Kurt Vonnegut was a master of contemporary American Literature. His black humor, satiric voice, and incomparable imagination first captured America's attention in The Siren's of Titan in 1959 and established him as ""a true artist"" with Cat's Cradle in 1963. He was, as Graham Greene has declared, ""one of the best living American writers.""
Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) is the creator of Tarzan, one of the most popular fictional characters of all time, and John Carter, hero of the Barsoom science fiction series. Burroughs was a prolific author, writing almost 70 books before his death in 1950, and was one of the first authors to popularize a character across multiple media, as he did with Tarzan’s appearance in comic strips, movies, and merchandise. Residing in Hawaii at the time of the attack on Pearl Harbour in 1941, Burroughs was drawn into the Second World War and became one of the oldest war correspondents at the time. Edgar Rice Burroughs’s popularity continues to be memorialized through the community of Tarzana, California, which is named after the ranch he owned in the area, and through the Burrough crater on Mars, which was named in his honour.
