The Silurian Tales Volume 2 The final volume of a master work by
one of the SF genre's greatest short story writers. The stories in
Steven Utley's Silurian Tales have appeared in Asimov's, Analog,
SciFiction, F&SF, and Cosmos, and have been beguiling readers
with glimpses of prehistoric life since the mid-1990s. These tales
have been described by Brian Stableford in Science Fact and Science
Fiction: An Encyclopedia as " t]he most elaborate reconstruction of
a past era in recent speculative fiction." The series employs a
variety of literary techniques in recounting the adventures and
misadventures of a scientific expedition in the Paleozoic Era and
also address some implications of the "many-worlds" hypothesis in
quantum physics; several of the stories have been reprinted in
Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction anthologies and the
Year's Best SF edited by David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer.

There is a spectre haunting the science fiction genre-the spectre
of Barry N. Malzberg . . . In a genre that, with one hand, claimed
to be the ultimate storehouse of innovation, and with the other,
leveled strict rules for writing and codes of narrative conduct
onto its authors, Malzberg stuck out like a forked tongue,
composing works of bona fide literature that dwarfed the efforts of
his contemporaries and established him as one of science fiction's
most dynamic enfant terribles. Originally published in 1975,
GALAXIES is a masterwork of the Malzberg canon, which includes over
fifty novels and collections. Metafictional, absurdist and
sardonic, the book mounts a concerted attack against the market
forces that prescribed SF of the 1970s and continue to prescribe it
today. At the same time, the book tells a story of technology and
cyborgs, of bureaucracy and tachyons, of love and hate and sadness
. . . Despite his deviant literary antics, Malzberg could not be
ignored by the SF community. In 1973, he won the first annual John
W. Campbell Memorial Award, which is presented to the best SF novel
of the year by a distinguished committee of SF experts, authors and
critics. Thereafter he received nominations for the Hugo, Nebula
and Philip K. Dick Awards, among others. Nonetheless his writing
has not received the attention it so profoundly deserves. GALAXIES
is among the works listed in acclaimed SF editor David Pringle's
SCIENCE FICTION: THE 100 BEST NOVELS, published in 1985. With an
introduction by Jack Dann, this special paperback edition ushers
Malzberg's genius into the twenty-first century.

"Pronzini makes people and events so real that you're living those
explosive days of terror." -Robert Ludlum As we follow Rex Sackett
("The Metaphor Kid") on his way to the top in that great spectator
sport of the future, hack-writing, we realize that this a
fast-moving, ribald parody of the writing profession. From the
moment the Head Editor waves his red flag to the second the
typewriting stops and a victor is chosen, every reader will be
cheering at the sidelines of Prose Bowl. Pronzini is the master of
the shivery, spine-tingling it-could-happen suspense story."
