Six often overlooked award-caliber sci-fi short novels and novelettes.
All the stories in this unique anthology were voted to be among the top stories of their year. We believe each would be a top story of any year.
Rog Phillipsâ other stories are eclipsed by his psychological thriller, the brilliant Rat in the Skull, which received a well-deserved Hugo Award nomination.
In H. L. Goldâs âInside Manâ, he dreams up brand-new wrinkles on ESP no one else, including you, has ever thought of. The special quality of this work was endorsed by his colleagues when it was nominated for the Nebula Award for best short story.
The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction praises Leigh Brackettâs âThe Stellar Legionâ for its color, narrative speed, the brooding forthrightness of its protagonists, and the economy and vigor of her style, so it is hardly surprising that it earned a Retro Hugo Award nomination.
Cordwainer Smithâs âScanners Live in Vainâ also earned a Retro Hugo nomination.
Evelyn Martinâs Reluctant Eve, winner of the Jules Verne Prize for most outstanding achievement in the science-fiction field for 1956, was the first science-fiction romance and is still an enthralling story today.
Don Wilcox's âThe Voyage That Lasted 600 Yearsâ (1940) was the first generation starship story and the first to incorporate the breakthrough notion of Earth developing faster-than-light ships that beat the generation ship to its destination - a worthy recipient of a Retro Hugo nomination.
Wherever you are on the spectrum of science-fiction knowledge or fandom, youâll find hours of enthralling listening (and relistening): forgotten favorites for long-time science-fiction fans and an introductory grand tour for those new to the genre.
