To honor the magnificent career of Jack Vance, one unparalleled
in achievement and impact, George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois,
with the full cooperation of Vance, his family, and his agents,
have created a Jack Vance tribute anthology: "Songs of the Dying
Earth." The best of today's fantasy writers to return to the unique
and evocative milieu of The Dying Earth, from which they and so
many others have drawn so much inspiration, to create their own
brand-new adventures in the world of Jack Vance's greatest
novel.
Half a century ago, Jack Vance created the world of the Dying
Earth, and fantasy has never been the same. Now, for the first time
ever, Jack has agreed to open this bizarre and darkly beautiful
world to other fantasists, to play in as their very own. To say
that other fantasy writers are excited by this prospect is a gross
understatement; one has told us that he'd crawl through broken
glass for the chance to write for the anthology, another that he'd
gladly give up his right arm for the privilege. That's the kind of
regard in which Jack Vance and The Dying Earth are held by
generations of his peers.
This book contains original stories from George R. R. Martin, Neil
Gaiman, Dan Simmons, Elizabeth Moon, Tanith Lee, Tad Williams, Kage
Baker, and Robert Silverberg, along with fifteen others--as well as
an introduction by Dean Koontz.
