The Dragons of Springplace
by Robert Reed
No American writer during the 1990s has published a more distinguished bibliography of first-rate science fiction than Robert Reed. In the title piece, a renegade misfit conquers the dragons and renews the threat of nuclear chaos aboard Springplace, a man-made repository for old reactor cores, dirty plutonium, and dismantled bombs. Another story is a sprawling intergalactic epic that takes place aboard a starship. Salvaged and commandeered by humans, the massive generation starship becomes the setting for a titanic struggle between two alien entities who engage in a monumental battle for survival.

Bending the Landscape
by
Edited by world-renowned lesbian fantasy author Nicola Griffith and fantasy publisher Stephen Pagel, this groundbreaking anthology of all-original science fiction stories brings together some of mainstream's and science fiction's most notable writers -- gay and straight -- creating worlds where time and place and sexuality are alternative to the empirical environment. Keith Hartman's "Sex, Guns and Baptists" gives a disturbing view of how the world could become if the Christian fundamentalists continue gaining political ground; Ralph Sperry's delightful aliens in "On Vacation" are refreshingly similar to us: shy workaholics, exasperated lovers, good with machines; Ellen Klages takes a '90s dyke back forty years to 1950s San Francisco where she discovers her modern sensibilities are utterly alien to the lesbians of the time. These stories explore physical, emotional, and moral landscapes vastly different from the familiar -- where nothing is as it seems. This group of talented newcomers and award-winning genre veterans includes Jim Grimsley, Mark W. Tiedemann, Charles Sheffield, Carrie Richerson, Keith Hartman, Nancy Kress, Richard Bamburg, L. Timmel Duchamp, Charles Sheffield, Don Bassingthwaite, and many others.
Flowers from the Moon
by Robert Bloch
The Transcendent Adventure
by
"Reilly's anthology contains 15 essays and two checklists: 4 general essays on the relationships between religion and science fiction; 11 essays on various authors, including Philip Jose Farmer, Frank Herbert, and Doris Lessing; a primary checklist of religious SF and fantasy; and a secondary checklist of religious SF. In general, the essays are nicely handled. ... Overall, a good beginning on the topic--and a book that SF collections, and many religious collections, will want. Undergraduate primarily; some graduate use; some general interest." Choice

Jack Vance: Critical Appreciations and a Bibliography
Cunningham, A. E
British Library,, 2000. Limited ed. Hardcover. Fine in Fine DJ. This is a first printing of the very Limited Edition. It is SIGNED by Jack Vance on a special bound-in page which preceeds the title page and which carries the words "Limited Edition" as well as Vance's signature. Also on that Signature Page the book is NUMBERED as 192/250. Only 250 of these limiteds make this a truly rare Vance collectible. DO NOT confuse this with the non-limited edition of which there were 1,000 published without the Signature and Limitation page. Contents include essays by Gene Wolfe, Harlan Ellison, Dan Simmons, Jack Vance himself and others. Then the book ends with a treasure trove -- an updated bibliography of Vance that goes beyond the Levack bibliography. The condition of this book is Fine/Fine. There are absolutely no flaws. The boards are clean and unbumped, spine straight, pages white. The DJ (now in a Brodart) is perfect without the slightest problem. Don't let this one get by you!
