From the vaults of The SF Gateway, the most comprehensive digital
library of classic SFF titles ever assembled, comes an ideal
introduction to the work of the award-winning Bob Shaw. Best known
for his extraordinary novel of 'slow glass', Other Days, Other
Eyes, Bob Shaw was a fan favourite at conventions for his
hysterical 'serious scientific talks'. This omnibus contains three
of his finest works: Orbitsville, A Wreath of Stars and The Ragged
Astronauts. Orbitsville: Racing from the certain vengeance of
Earth's tyrant ruler, space captain Vance Garamond flees the Solar
System. And discovers the almost unimaginably vast spherical
structure soon to become famous as 'Orbitsville' - a new home for
Earth's huddled masses. A Wreath of Stars: Thornton's Planet is an
anti-neutrino planet detected on its approach to Earth. It can be
seen only through the newly developed magniluct lenses and its
arrival causes a wave of panic. When its course carries it past the
earth, interest in Thornton's Planet wanes. But the visit of
Thornton's Planet has had effects on Earth further-ranging than
anyone could have imagined. The Ragged Astronauts: Land and
Overland - twin worlds a few thousand miles apart. On Land,
humanity faces a threat to its very survival - an airborne species,
the ptertha, has declared war on humankind, and is actively hunting
for victims. The only hope lies in migration. Through space to
Overland. By balloon.
