THE ROAD TO SCIENCE FICTION #3 FROM HEINLEIN TO HERE

Mentor paperback, 1978. Cover artwork by Paul Stinson.

"Robert A. Heinlein, Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Fritz Leiber, Arthur C. Clarke, Philip José Farmer, Kurt Vonnegut, Roger Zelazny, Frederick Pohl, Harlan Ellison, Larry Niven, Ursula K. Le Guin.

From the depths of the earth to the farthest stars, from the day before yesterday to the end of time, here are magnificent tales of space and time by 36 masters of science fiction. From Robert A. Heinlein's mind-twisting story of the ultimate paradox to Clifford Simak's vision of "man's" conquest of Jupiter; from Theodore Sturgeon's tale of the day after atomic holocaust to Hal Clement's alternate life form below the earth's surface; from Harlan Ellison's computerized hell to Jjoanna Russ's world of women invaded by men for the first time in centuries... From Analog and Fantasy & Science Fiction through the new wave "revolution" and right up to the present day, The Road To Science Fiction #3 offers a spectacular tour of worlds to come and of those that might have been, complete with humans, aliens and machines to guide us along the way."

THE LIVES AND TIMES OF JERRY CORNELIUS

Grafton paperback, 1987. Cover illustration by Tim White.

"WHO - NOT TO SAY WHEN, WHERE, HOW OR WHY - IS JERRY CORNELIUS? 

We'll probably never know. Still, the contents of this book do provide a kind of kaleidoscopic biography of the immortal, ubiquitous assassin who has himself been the target of assassination attempts for his own brother Frank - and of several novels by Michael Moorcock, of course. 

THE LIVES AND TIMES OF JERRY CORNELIUS 

shows the enigmatic superhero about his business in Mandalay, London, the vatican and elsewhere (and elsewhen): they are a sharp, brilliantly witty satire of our times - and of time itself."

Arrow paperback, 1984. Cover painting by Peter Elson.
