In den WarenkorbZustand: NEAR FINE. 2nd printing. A collection of 41 of the best short stories by Sheckley, with an introduction by David Hartwell. As one review noted, these stories "make it clear that Sheckley is one of sf's all-time masters of the humorous or satirical short story. 'The Lifeboat Mutiny' represents Sheckley's classic Triple A… Ace Interplanetary Decontamination Agency at its risible best . . . and a dozen others are just as good places for innocent readers to start an acquaintance with Sheckley. A welcome replacement for all those tattered paperbacks on the sf shelves." 569 pp. Dust jacket art by Bob Eggleton. Near fine in near fine dust jacket (remainder line, stamp on front endpaper).

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing thus [Stated]. 288 pages. Signed by the author on the title page. The dust jacket is in a plastic sleeve. Some content appeared in Analog Science Fiction and Fact and Alien Starts IV: Free Lancers. Lois McMaster Bujold (born November 2, 1949) i…s an American speculative fiction writer. She has won the Hugo Award for best novel four times. Her novella The Mountains of Mourning won both the Hugo Award and Nebula Award. The Curse of Chalion won the Mythopoeic Award and was nominated for the 2002 World Fantasy Award for best novel, and both her fourth Hugo Award and second Nebula Award were for Paladin of Souls. In 2011 she was awarded the Skylark Award. She has won two Hugo Awards for Best Series, in 2017 for the Vorkosigan Saga and in 2018 for the World of the Five Gods. The Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers Association named her its 36th SFWA Grand Master in 2019. The bulk of Bujold's works comprises three series: the Vorkosigan Saga, the World of the Five Gods, and the Sharing Knife series. Bujold is best known for her Vorkosigan Saga, a series of novels featuring Miles Vorkosigan, a physically impaired interstellar spy and mercenary admiral from the planet Barrayar, set approximately 1000 years in the future. The author has stated that the series structure is modeled after the Horatio Hornblower books, documenting the life of a single person. In themes and echoes, they also reflect Dorothy L. Sayers' mystery character Lord Peter Wimsey. Bujold has also said that part of the challenge of writing a series is that many readers will encounter the stories in "utterly random order". Borders of Infinity is NESFA's edition of a 1989 collection of three of the five currently extant novellas, makes a good Miles Vorkosigan early-adventure sampler platter. The novellas "The Mountains of Mourning", "Labyrinth", and "The Borders of Infinity" were reprinted with an untitled framing story in which Miles reports to Simon Illyan, head of Barrayaran Imperial Security ("ImpSec"). The framing story emphasizes an auditboth financial and politicalof ImpSec, questioning Miles' activities and expenditures during the previous adventures. This volume is short-novel length; the three-novella anthology with its framing story was reprinted in the book sales club omnibus Vorkosigan's Game (1990). The Mountains of Mourning is a science fiction novella. It is part of her Vorkosigan Saga, chronologically taking place between the novels The Warrior's Apprentice and The Vor Game. It won the 1990 Hugo Award for Best Novella and the Nebula Award for Best Novella of 1989. The novella debuted in 1989 in Analog Science Fiction and Fact. It was later collected in the omnibus editions Vorkosigan's Game; Young Miles; and Borders of Infinity. Miles has just graduated from the Imperial Academy, and is at home at Vorkosigan Surleau with his parents. A woman from an isolated rural village demands justice for the murder of her baby, who was born with a cleft lip and palate, but was otherwise healthy. Miles' father sends him to investigate as his Voice (representative with full powers) to gain experience. Miles solves the mystery and exercises justice and mercy in appropriate measures. Labyrinth is a Miles Vorkosigan Story. Twenty-three year old Lieutenant Miles Vorkosigan challenges the criminal underground on the planet Jackson's Whole to rescue a research scientist. For the novel, Ms. Bujold added a short "framing story" that tied the three novellas together by setting up each as a flashback that Miles experiences while recovering from bone-replacement surgery. "The Borders of Infinity" is a novella in the Vorkosigan Saga. It was first published in 1987 by Baen Books as part of an anthology of novellas titled Free Lancers (from the collection Alien Stars; number 4) and is available as part of the Miles Errant collection. "The Borders of Infinity" came in seventh place for a Locus Award for Best Novella in 1988. When the Cetagandan Empire invaded Marilac, Barrayar saw an opportunity t.
