Alfred Best, Roger Zelazny

Topeka Bindery, 1998

Good, thought provoking book
I picked this book up because I thought the title and the cover seemed pretty interesting. Once I started reading I couldn't stop, which is rare for me because I prefere TV. Yet i sat there for a few long sessions and finished the book. I think the books views and their meddlings in history are very well thought out. The plot twists are superb and the fight scene is fantastic. I really ...

firey vengence sparks adventure and self-improvement
Considering its 50+ age, it's a solid piece of SF. Sometimes heralded as the grandfather of cyberpunk (as many books tend to be labled), it's a interestingly techy novel. Lots of ideas thrown into a tub full of characters on a one-way plot to a fine blend. What starts out as a sub-average joe works his way through suffering and up to revenge. He transforms himself, through his inferno-like ...

Winner of the First Hugo Award
Not to be too gushy, but this 1951 classic is one of THE towering classics of 1950's hardcore Science Fiction, and it's the winner of the very FIRST EVER HUGO AWARD. As if that wasn't praise enough, J.M. Straczynski, the creator of the highly acclaimed and award winning "Babylon 5" series, repeatedly paid open and worshipful homage to the author, Alfred Bester, by basing his "Psi Corps" on ...

10 Years' Worth of Oversights!
Up to this point (1960) there had been published nine volumes of "The Best From Fantasy and Science Fiction." Robert P. Mills carefully examined the back issues and culled 40 stories which he felt should have been included in those volumes. Then he eliminated any which had appeared in ANY other anthology. The result is this thick, 416-page paperback. CONTENTS: The Martian Shop ...

Essential reading for Bester fans - intriguing for anyone
For anyone who has read "The Demolished Man" or "The Stars my Destination" (aka "Tiger! Tiger!") Alfie Bester needs no introduction. His brand of science fiction is, as far as I know, unique in its sheer energy. In his blending of scientific ideas with eclectic cultural, psychological and philosophical background, Bester anticipated (by over 20 years) acclaimed writers like William Gibson and the ...
