The Science Fiction Hall of Fame

This volume is widely respected as the definitive collection of the best science fiction stories published between 1929 and 1964. Chosen by science fiction writers themselves, these 26 stories, by their sheer diversity of style and subject, illustrate the incredible latitude encompassed by the term 'science fiction.' Robert Heinlein, in 'The Roads Must Roll,' describes an industrial civilization caught up in the deadly flaws of its own complexity. 'Country of the Kind' by Damon Knight is a frightening portrayal of biological mutation. 'Nightfall' by Isaac Asimov, a chilling study in mass psychology, is the story of a planet where the sun sets only once every millennium. Originally published in 1970 to honor stories that had come before the institution of the Nebula Awards, The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Vol-ume One introduced tens of thousands of young readers to the wonders of science fiction, and was a favorite of libraries across the country. Too long unavailable, this new edition will be treasured by science fiction fans.
