Author: Theodore R. Cogswell Publisher: Wildside Press LLC ISBN: 1479403253 Category : Fiction Languages : en Pages : 212
Book Description
Theodore Rose Cogswell (1918 - 1987) was an American science fiction author. His first published story, "The Spectre General" in the magazine ASTOUNDING (June 1952), was a humorous tale in which a long-forgotten maintenance brigade of the Imperial Space Marines holds the promise of reinvigorating a declining Galactic empire. It's a classic and was selected by the Science Fiction Writers of America as one of the greatest SF stories of all time. This volume (a reissue of Cogswell's 1968 collection, THE THIRD EYE) presents 16 of his classic stories and is the first of what should eventually be three Cogswell Megapacks, presenting his complete short stories. Included are: NO GUN TO THE VICTOR MR.

Author: Reginald Bretnor Publisher: Wildside Press LLC ISBN: 1434446565 Category : Fiction Languages : en Pages : 240
Book Description
The late Reginald Bretnor (1911-1992) was never a prolific writer -- he wrote only a handful of books and about 100 short stories (and more than 120 short-short "Feghoots" under his Grendel Briarton pseudonym) -- over a 45-year writing career. In addition to wars, weaponry, and science fiction, Bretnor's broad interests included cats. (And puns. Did we mention the horrible puns?) These subjects are all touched on in this collection. A sly sense of humor permeates Bretnor’s fiction, and as we work to digitize his complete body of work and present it to readers in a series of Reginald Bretnor Megapacks, we know you’ll have fun reading it all. Included in this volume are: SUGAR PLUM GNURRS COME FROM THE VOODVORK OUT CAT MAYBE JUST A LITTLE ONE UNKNOWN THINGS BUG-GETTER AUNT'S FLIGHT DR.
