Editorial Reviews

Product Description
A huge volume of edge-of-the-seat science fiction adventure, including:

* The Long Twilight: Grayle and Falconer met in relentless combat with no quarter in prehistoric ages past, their endless battle now remembered only as dark myths and legends. Now their long battle is nearing its climax¿and the final battleground is an uncontrolled experimental power plant that threatens the Earth itself!

* Night of Delusions: A detective is hired by men claiming to be government agents and given an assignment that may lead to his being hailed as the savior of the nation¿or executed for treason. His mysterious clients also give him devices to use in the assignment, devices which seem to be far beyond anything human technology is capable of. And as he doggedly pursues the case, he finds that the very fabric of reality seems to be changing around him, even to the point that he himself seems never to have existed!

* Plus three short novels of equally stunning concepts and breathtaking action.

About the Author
Keith Laumer was a Captain in the US Air Force and later an officer in the Diplomatic Corps, serving all over the world, giving him a solid background both for his fast-moving adventure stories and his satirical comedies of Retief, the galaxy¿s only two-fisted diplomat. He was known as one of the top writers of SF adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A top pick for any serious science fiction collection., May 11, 2007
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Take suspense and blend it with science fiction using the short story format and you have a set of truly gripping adventures, as represented in Keith Laumer (Eric Flint, Editor)'s The Long Twilight and Other Stories. From a final combat between two forces in an uncontrolled experimental power plant that threatens Earth to a detective who is given devices to aid his investigation which seem far beyond any Earthly technology, this collection holds an outstanding selection of vivid plots and action, and is a top pick for any serious science fiction collection.
