HERETICS OF DUNE
 |
| Cover by Abe Echevarria. |
"From Dune to Rakis to Dune, the wheel turns full circle. From burning desert to green and fertile land and on again to burning desert, the cycle is complete. The people of the scattering are returning. Amongst them, mysterious and threatening, are the women who call themselves the Honoured Matres, adepts of an ecstatic cult. And on Rakis, become Dune, an ancient prophecy is fulfilled with the coming of the she-seer, Sheena."

THE RIVER OF TIME
 |
| Cover by Paul Sonju. |
"The River Of Time brings together eleven of David Brin's finest shorter works, including The Crystal Spheres, winner of the Hugo Award for Best Short Story, and four new stories published here for the first time, each with an afterword by the author. Here are powerful tales of heroism and humanity, playful excursions into realms of fancy, and profound meditations on time, memory and our place in the universe, by one of the most heralded new writers of our age."

SPACE STORIES, DECEMBER 1952
 |
| Artwork by Earle Bergey. |
I can't help but admire the reserved tastefulness of this cover. At a time when most females appearing on pulp magazine covers were in a state of undress, wearing see-through or barely-there space bikini, or in peril of the most ridiculous nature (at the hands of an equally improbable fiend) this painting - by Earle K. Bergey (who painted precisely those things) may have seemed bland in its day, but is all the more outstanding today.
