Publisher Description

GET READY FOR A GIANT, MIND-EXPANDING DOSE OF THE BEST SCIENCE FICTION EVER WRITTEN BY THE GREATEST SCIENCE FICTION WRITERS OF ALL TIME! When readers first encounter science fiction, they find adventures on other planets and in future worlds, explorations of future technology and its implications, and extrapolations of social trends and warnings of where they may lead-but they also encounter concepts heretofore undreamed of, and the impact on the readers' thinking does nothing less than turn their world upside down. Now, David Drake, Jim Baen and Eric Flint gather together some of the greatest science fiction ever written in one volume, with each story chosen for a startling breakthrough concept which left readers stunned and changed the course of science fiction. In the Golden Age of science fiction, the science fiction magazines weren't given titles such as Astounding, Amazing, Startling, etc., for nothing! Pick up this generous serving of the very best of science fiction and prepared to be astounded, amazed, startled-and entertained.At the publisher's request, this title is sold without DRM (Digital Rights Management).

Classic Anthology

The authors included are a "Who's Who" of classic science fiction. You can tell by the intros that this book was a fond labor of love for the three editors. It made me wish I could hang out in a coffee shop with them and talk about when we read these stories for the first time. The age of the stories might be a problem for some younger readers - there's nothing newer than 50 years old here and the age shows a bit.
