Modern Classics of Science Fiction

Science fiction can carry readers across the galaxies on spectacular voyages of discovery. It can also find unimagined marvels where no one thought to look - next door, or down the street.

The twenty-six delights assembled in this volume offer up the finest works of modern science fiction, more than two dozen masterpieces from many of this century's greatest writers of imaginative literature. 

Included here are many lesser-known gems, including Theodore Sturgeon's masterful "The Other Celia" and Ursula K. Le Guin's beautiful novelette "The Barrow."

Additionally, the stories in this volume truly are modern, with tales from the last thirty years that all achieve the timeless quality that marks the finest literature.

A rare and wonderous treasure, Modern Classics of Science Fiction is a wonderful compendium of today's greatest worlds of imagination.
