THE BEST OF OMNI SCIENCE FICTION NO.2

The Best Of Omni Science Fiction No. 2, 1981. Cover painting by Fred-Jurgen Rogner.

This is a re-post of an Omni mag I originally scanned in May 2011. I was skimming through a few issues a few days ago and noticed I'd apparently missed at least half a dozen pieces of artwork from this particular magazine. This issue also featured pictorials on Chris Foss' book 21st Century Foss and John Schoenherr's Dune illustrations (from The Illustrated Dune) but you can find the real thing(s) here and here, respectively.

"This very worthy successor to a much-acclaimed first volume is intended for science-fiction devotees and neophytes alike. It has an introduction by Robert Sheckley and 16 memorable stories by such masters of the genre as Theodore Sturgeon, George R. R. Martin, and Orson Scott Card. In a special sf appearance TV personality Hugh Downs describes a reincarnation deep in the future and Robert Silverberg contributes a never-before-published novella about a distant moon in a distant time. Arthur C. Clarke annotates an illustrated presentation of cosmic spaceships. Five other breathtakingly colourful pictorials include works of John Schoenherr, Christopher Foss, and David Jackson."

"The doors of Launch stand four kilometers from the ground. The hangar itself measures 4,600 square kilometers and was built when subatomic fuel was still cheap and muon-guzzling space limousines were gigantic."

Painting by John Harris, from the pictorial Time Travellers.

THE LEGION OF SPACE

Pyramid paperback, second edition, Oct 1969. Cover: Paul Lehr.

"They were the most fabulous trio of swashbucklers ever to ship out to deep space - the giant Hal Samdu, the inscrutable Jay Kalam, and that marvel of greed, trickery and deceit, the incomparably dishonest Giles Habibula! Together they thundered across the stars searching for the ultimate prize - the most important female in the galaxy. Together they hurled themselves into the wildest adventure of their strange lives. And together they faced incredible evil and howling destruction - with a known traitor as their only guide!"

DORSAI!

DAW paperback, February 1976. Cover art by Paul Lehr.

"Donal Graeme, Dorsai of the Dorsai, was the final link in a long genetic train, the ultimate soldier, whose breadth of vision made him a master of space war and strategy - and something even greater. He was the focus of centuries of evolution, the culmination of planned development, and through him a new force made itself felt. 

The Dorsai were renowned throughout the galaxy as the finest soldiers ever born, trained from birth to fight and win, no matter what the odds. With Donal at their head they embarked upon the final, impossibly venture: they set out to unify the splintered worlds of mankind. 

Dorsai! Is the magnificent conclusion of Gordon R. Dickson's epic vision of the future, a vision as sweeping and brilliant as Asimov's Foundation trilogy."
