✦ Synopsis

The Nebula Nominee Story and More! Here is the only collection of
stories by the Nebula nominee author of Skyclimber, Bioblast, and Dawn
of the Demi-Gods. One of the only two writers to produce science fiction
of increasing quality and sophistication from the earliest days of the
pulps and into the last quarter of the 20th century, the Encyclopedia of
Science Fiction hails Raymond Z. Gallun as "the best of those pre-1939
writers who failed to remain well-known." Featuring "A First Glimpse,"
one of the author's two Nebula nominee novelettes for Analog, this
mammoth 100,000 word collection includes the novelettes "Comet's Burial"
and "Stamped Caution" and the two novellas "Brother Worlds" and
"Forbidden Moon," which have been virtually unobtainable for nearly half
a century; plus a quartet of reader favorites that have been out of
print for more than twenty years, including "Davy Jones, Ambassador,"
"Hotel Cosmos," "Prodigal's Aura," and the masterful "Seeds of the
Dusk." Here is a collection, and an author, no one who loves good
science fiction should miss. These are stories the Encyclopedia has
described as "plotted with vigor and packed with ideas, often decidedly
original."
