1st printing. By Robert Silverberg. Science fiction legend Robert Silverberg reflects on some of his earliest, least-reprinted tales in this new Planet Stories collection! Between 1956 and 1958, Silverberg contributed dozens of short stories and novellas to the digest pulps, each written in the bombastic, high-adventure style of the original Planet Stories magazine. Since then, those tales have re-appeared only rarely (and sometimes never again) in long out-of-print paperback anthologies. This volume, the first of three to come this year, features seven hard-to-find classic Silverberg novellas: Slaves of the Star Giants, Spawn of the Deadly Sea, The Flame and the Hammer, The Valley Beyond Time, Hunt the Space-Witch!, The Silent Invaders, and Spacerogue. Never before collected in a single edition, these stories reveal the early action-packed tales of one of speculative fiction's most important voices! Softcover, 6-in. x 9-in., 272 pages, text only. Cover price $15.99.
