The Best of the Best,
By
This review is from: Matheson Uncollected, Volume 1 (Hardcover)
It's little wonder that Richard Matheson is considered a living legend. His works helped to define my generation, and his words encompassed the very world in which I have lived. Indeed, there is hardly an American living today who has not been touched in some way by Mr. Matheson's imagination. This, the first of two volumes collecting previously uncollected works from the huge canon of Mr. Matheson's career, illustrates the breathtaking breadth of his vision and talent. Matheson historian and expert Tony Albarella introduces the actual teleplay that produced one the most famous classic Star Trek episodes, "The Enemy Within". When the Starship Enterprise experiences a transporter malfunction, intrepid Captain Kirk is literally split in two, becoming disjointed personalities reflecting opposite sides of Kirk's personality. Next up is a prescient unfinished science fiction novel written during the atomic 1950's, COLONY SEVEN, in which Mr. Matheson describes an overpopulated world in crisis due to man-made ecological impoverishment and our subsequent flight from a dying world into space. Also included are ten short stories that range from whimsical fantasy to white-knuckle terror to pure science fiction. My favorite: "Counterfeit Bills", a hilariously terse tragicomedy with a killer final line. Opened by a heartfelt introduction by Matheson contemporary, George Clayton Johnson, this is a collection that fans of grand fantasy and science fiction literature will not want to miss. You'd better act fast, though, because these books are going to get snapped up fast.
