Beyond Apollo [Secure Mobipocket/Microsoft Reader/eReader (recommended)]
by Barry N. Malzberg
|
|
 A two-man mission to Venus fails and is aborted; when it returns, the Captain is missing and the other astronaut, Harry M. Evans, is unable to explain what has happened. Or, conversely, he has too many explications; his journal of the expedition--compiled in the mental institution to which NASA has embarrassedly committed him--offers contradictory stories: he murdered the Captain, mad Venusian invaders murdered the Captain, the Captain vanished, no one was murdered and the Captain has returned i... more info>>

Final War [MultiFormat]
by Barry N. Malzberg
|

A very strange war is taking place on an estate. Things were going quite well, with the enemy occupying the forest on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays,
and our side taking the forest on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays (everyone was too tired to fight on Monday). But now a new captain has arrived, and he is talking crazy. He's talking about actually trying to win the war, once and for all, and not just on this small estate, but everywhere. He's talking about Final War. (Published: 1968) Nebula Award(R) Nominee

Shiva and Other Stories [MultiFormat]
by Barry N. Malzberg
|
|
Twenty-two tales by a mythologist for the new millennium, Shiva and Other Stories brings together some of Malzberg's finest work from the 80s and the 90s, including many stories featured in major Year's Best anthologies. From pragmatists like Huey "Kingfish" Long, who plays human nature like a pat-hand of cards to win the presidency and then deal with a punk named Adolf Hitler, to soulless bureaucrats, to a long parade of recalcitrant dreamers who tragically attempt to impose fantasy on unyieldi... more info>> (Published: 2001)

The Engines of the Night [MultiFormat]
by Barry N. Malzberg
|
|
Aspiring science fiction writers, take heed! If you want to understand where the field has been and where it's going--if you want a career--you need this book. In The Engines of the Night, Malzberg reviews his own ambivalent relationship with science fiction up to 1980 and gauges its past and future potentials. Would science fiction have been better off without Hugo Gernsback and the pulp-literature stigma with which he cursed it? What are the seminal works of science fiction? Can science fictio... more info>> (Published: 1984) Locus Poll Award Winner, Hugo Award Nominee
