Enter strange new worlds

The imagination of Jack Vance was seemingly without limit. His depiction of strange peoples, cultures, and social systems is endlessly fascinating. Some may say his style is an acquired taste, but I believe his elegant language, inventive names and coinages, and ironic humor is unequaled in or out of SF. With the exception of "Chateau D'If", the stories in this collection (including "Green Magic" and "The Narrow Land") are rarely anthologized, and so it is a must to the Jack Vance collector. To those unacquainted with Jack Vance, try the "The Dying Earth", "The Last Castle", "The Dragon Masters", or "Lyonesse" for the master at his best.

8 stories

Here under one cover for the first time are eight scarce and long unavailable stories by one of the very best writers we have in science fiction. Eight stories rich with the exotic and ironic aplomb of the singularly inventive and vivid style which characterizes the author.
