To the Librarians
During the 1930's and 1940's anyone writing science fiction did so almost exclusively for magazines. Then in the early 1950's the magazine market began to die and paperback books...

Although Bernard Wolfe has written several plays, most for television, it is principally for his 1952 science fiction novel Limbo that he's best remembered. Penguin Books republished this work in a slightly abridged form in 1961, claiming it was "the first book of science fiction to project the present-day...

Quite a decent piece of SF satire, set (roughly) in the same universe as The Marching Morons . I liked the planet with the gerontocracy. The hero gets to participate in an election: they wheel out the candidates, all of whom are over 100 and with tubes coming out of their noses. With great fanfare of trumpets,...

12,000 A.D. The Earth, after the atomic holocaust, had reverted to a strange kind of barbarism, where men could build space ships but could not communicate except by the most primitive means.

SOS FROM A FUTURE THAT WILL NEVER BEIt's amazing enough when Murdoch Ross's brilliant grandfather invents a machine that can send messages to itself in the past or the future. But when signals begin to arrive without being sent, Murdoch realizes that every action he takes changes the future that would...

Author	Keith Laumer
ISBN	0441302688

Originally published in the early '60s, this is a humorous fix-up novel that starts out quite well, wanders around in nebulous philosophizing for a section or three, and then returns to course for a coherent conclusion. (Kind of like many Laumer books, come to think of it.) The blurb on the front from...

As explained in the new introduction, this is the title which he originally intended – but in case you have already read Chronospace, be aware that there is no new story here. In turn then, Chronospace is the full narrative...
