Masterful science fiction,

This review is from: Grand Masters' Choice (Mass Market Paperback)
8 authors, named Grand Masters by the Science Fiction Writers of America, choose their finest short stories. Each story is accompanied by a biographical note, an introduction, and a list of the author's significant stories and novels, by Andre Norton. The book includes an Introduction by Robert Bloch; and these stories:
"The Long Watch," by Robert A Heinlein "With Folded Hands," by Jack Williamson "The Autumn Land," by Clifford Simak "A Gun for Dinosaur," by L Sprague de Camp "Lean Times in Lankhmar," by Fritz Leiber "Toads of Grimmerdale," by Andre Norton "Transit of Earth," by Arthur C Clarke "The Last Question," by Isaac Asimov Alas, all these Grand Masters have passed on to that great typewriter in the sky, Arthur C Clarke leaving us just this year (2008). If you haven't read these stories, you are in for a treat. The Williamson story is one of the earliest, and still one of the best, stories about robots. The de Camp story is one of the earliest, and one of the best, time travel/alternate world stories. The Lieber is classic sword - and - sorcery as only he can pull it off. The Clarke story still brings tears to my eyes each time I read it. And Asimov says in one of his books that "The Last Question" is still one of his most asked-after stories by the fans. |
