Renowned as a writer of classic adventure stories such as The Call
of the Wild and White Fang, Jack London also had a parallel career
as a writer of science fiction and fantasy. In Leonaur's three
volume, The Collected Science Fiction & Fantasy of Jack London,
his SF and fantasy novels and shorter works are brought together
for the first time. Darrell Standing is a university professor and
convicted murderer. He's also The Star Rover. During long spells in
solitary confinement, his body immobilised by a canvas jacket that
prevents all movement, he develops a technique that allows his
non-corporeal self to wander through time and home in on lives that
were his before he was Darrell Standing. His adventures - engaging,
vivid and exciting - offer an eye-witness perspective on a past
that might have been. This volume also includes three entertaining
shorter works that show Jack London as a more than worthy
contemporary of H. G. Wells.
