Happy New Year! Have Four More SF Gateway Omnibuses!
We imagine that some of you are greeting the New Year a little more delicately than others.
DOES YOUR HEAD HURT?
Well, for those of you still capable of coherent thought (and we’re not judging – to each their own manner of celebrating), we humbly submit that there are worse ways of starting 2014 than by diving in to an omnibus or two of fine classic SF . . .
SF Gateway Omnibus of the Week!Winner of the Hugo Award for Where Late the Sweet Birds Sang, Kate Wilhelm has produced an impressive body of work in the fields of SF and crime, and – along with her late husband, Damon Knight – has had a profound influence beyond her writing, through the Milford and Clarion Science Fiction Writers’ Workshops. This omnibus contains novels The Clewiston Test and Welcome, Chaos and story collection The Infinity Box. | |
The son of a Civil War veteran, Edgar Rice Burroughs was a prolific writer for the early pulp magazines. Famous the world over as the creator of Tarzan – and in SF circles for his Martian tales featuring John Carter – Burroughs is a household name. But there was more to him than apemen and four-armed Martians! This omnibus collects his tales of the world within a hollow Earth: At the Earth’s Core, Pellucidar and Tanar of Pellucidar. |

Highly acclaimed, Jack Vance has won and been nominated for the Hugo, Nebula and World Fantasy Awards among many others, and in 1997 was named a Science Fiction Writers of America Grand Master. This omnibus contains the novels Big Planet, which revolutionised the planetary romance, The Blue World, and the collection, The Dragon Masters and Other Stories, the title story of which won the Hugo Award for short fiction. |

Working with legendary Astounding Science Fiction editor, John W. Campbell, E. E. ‘Doc’ Smith revolutionised space opera, giving it many of the tropes still evident today. This volume reprints the four novels of his classic Skylark series: The Skylark of Space, Skylark Three, Skylark of Valeron & Skylark Duquesne. |
All of these fine works are available in both paper and digital editions – we hope you enjoy them. After a couple of paracetamol, perhaps . . .
