Alien encounters, body-snatching plantlife, super-intelligent obelisks, paranoid androids, and an ultra-violent aficionado of Beethoven -- there is enough variety in The Ultimate Encyclopedia Of Science Fiction to keep the science fiction fan entertained, informed and intrigued for a long, long time. The Ultimate Encyclopedia Of Science Fiction covers the themes and genres found in science fiction stories from traditional space operas to cyberpunk tales. A close-up of the seminal science fiction movies from Blade Runner to Zardos include information-paced box-outs with enough detail to satiate the most avid fan. A comprehensive survey of science fiction radio and television broadcasts is provided. An A-Z listing of the villains and heroes of science fiction is laid out, and a look at the influential magazines that have helped shape science fiction while serving the devoted fans is an additional bonus. Further enhancing the value of The Ultimate Encyclopedia Of Science Fiction is an exhaustive glossary of science fiction jargon. -- Midwest Book Review
