The best of British SF 1-2

Mike Ashley

Science fiction was born in Britain - and in the 1970s British SF offered the best and most imaginative in contemporary writing.

Now Mike Ashley has assembled, in two volumes, a mammoth collection of classic stories that represent the history of British science fiction from H.G. Wells to Michael Moorcock.

The first volume begins at the birth - with H.G. Wells - and takes the story all the way to the beginnings of the 'new wave' with Brian Aldiss's outstanding 'Old Hundred'. Other authors include some of the big names in SF - John Wyndham, Eric Frank Russell, Arthur C. Clarke, John Brunner - and a few surprises.

The second volume picks up where the first volume left off, with the beginnings of the 'new wave', and shows how in the 1960s experimental and traditional SF coexisted - in a new Golden Age for British SF. Writers include Bob Shaw, John Wyndham, Arthur C. Clarke, Kingsley Amis, Brian Aldiss, Fred Hoyle, J.G. Ballard, Michael Moorcock and Keith Roberts.
