À propos de ce livre

Lost Sci-Fi Books 201 thru 205 brings together five unforgettable stories from Theodore Sturgeon, Robert Sheckley, Arthur C. Clarke, Alfred Coppel, and Fredric Brown—five writers whose remarkable imaginations helped shape science fiction.

Microcosmic God by Theodore Sturgeon follows a brilliant scientist whose isolated experiments produce a rapidly evolving miniature civilization. What begins as an astonishing scientific achievement soon raises a far more troubling question: what happens when one man controls an entire world?

Accept No Substitutes by Robert Sheckley delivers the wit and unpredictability that made Sheckley a favorite of generations of science fiction readers, turning an extraordinary idea into a tale where nothing works quite as expected.

The Star by Arthur C. Clarke sends an expedition deep into space, where the discovery of a destroyed civilization forces one traveler to confront the devastating meaning of what they have found.

The First Man on the Moon by Alfred Coppel takes us beyond Earth for a journey into the danger and uncertainty of reaching a world humanity has dreamed of visiting for centuries.

Cry Silence by Fredric Brown completes the collection with another example of Brown’s gift for taking an intriguing premise and carrying it toward an unforgettable conclusion.

From miniature civilizations to the distant reaches of space, these stories capture an era when science fiction writers were constantly searching for new possibilities and new ways to surprise their readers.

Discover five remarkable journeys into the unknown in Lost Sci-Fi Books 201 thru 205.
