Science Fiction Voices, Volume Five gathers conversations with eight storied figures of the genre. Isaac Asimov reflects on his Foundation saga, Leigh Brackett recalls pulp magazines, Lin Carter explores the Ballantine Adult Fantasy Series, and Lester del Rey examines the real science behind the stories. Frank Belknap Long shares memories of H. P. Lovecraft, Clifford D. Simak reveals his approach to crafting tales, and Wilson Tucker discusses his dual life as fan and writer. Finally, Jack Williamson reviews his (at the time) fifty-year career as author and teacher. All interviews conducted by World Fantasy Award-winner Darrell Schweitzer.
