London: The Science Fiction Book Club By Arrangement With Faber & Faber, 1961. 1st Book Club Edition. Original boards. With some foxing to edges and a few pages. Dustjacket in protective plastic cover. Slight wear to spine, covers, corners & dustjacket. ; GPT"The Canopy of Time" (also published as "Galaxies Like Grains of Sand") by Brian Aldiss is a collection of interlinked short stories that span billions of years, presenting a grand tapestry of humanity's future evolution and its interactions with the cosmos. Each story, while distinct, contributes to a cohesive narrative arc that explores themes of time, civilization's rise and fall, and human adaptability. Aldiss masterfully combines speculative science with deep philosophical questions, considering not just the technological advances of future societies but also their cultural, social, and ethical dimensions. From the dawn of humanity's expansion into space to the far reaches of its future descendants, the stories contemplate the cyclical nature of history and the persistent human traits that endure through ages. Aldiss's prose is both lyrical and precise, capturing the awe of the cosmic scale while remaining grounded in the personal and the intimate. "The Canopy of Time" is a reflective work, offering a poignant meditation on humanity's place in the universe. ; 19 x 13 x 2.1 cms; 222 pages. Very Good- in Very Good- dust jacket .

BESTER, ALFRED

Tiger! Tiger!

London: The Science Fiction Book Club By Arrangement With Sidgwick and Jackson, 1958. 1st Book Club Edition. Original Boards. Some foxing to endpapers, first & last few pages and all edges. Dustjacket in plastic protective cover with remnants and/or residue of sticky tape on spine, covers & dustjacket. Slight wear to spine, covers & corners. ; "Tiger! Tiger!", also known as "The Stars My Destination" in some editions, is a science fiction novel by Alfred Bester. Set in the 24th century, it tells the story of Gully Foyle, a man driven by a relentless quest for revenge. Left to die in space by the passing spaceship Vorga, Foyle survives against all odds and becomes singularly focused on finding those responsible. His journey transforms him from a crude, uneducated mechanic into a highly resourceful and dangerous figure, mastering the art of "jaunting" — teleportation through sheer force of will. Along the way, he uncovers a vast conspiracy and grapples with themes of identity, transformation, and societal collapse. Bester’s novel is celebrated for its fast-paced narrative, innovative use of language, and its exploration of the human capacity for both destruction and redemption, firmly establishing it as a classic in the science fiction genre. ; 19 x 13 x 2.5 cms; 232 pages.

CLARKE, ARTHUR C.

A Fall of Moondust

London: The Science Fiction Book Club, 1963. 1st Book Club Edition. Original boards. Dustjacket in plastic protective cover. Dent in top edge front cover. Top right hand corner slightly bumped. Slight wear to spine, covers, corners & dustjacket. Tear in plastic protective cover. ; GPT"A Fall of Moondust" by Arthur C. Clarke is a compelling science fiction novel set on the Moon's surface, focusing on the unexpected disaster that befalls a lunar dust cruiser, the Selene. In this future, the Moon is a tourist destination, and the Selene, designed to traverse the Moon’s Sea of Thirst—a vast, seemingly solid surface of fine dust—suddenly sinks, trapping its passengers and crew beneath the surface. Clarke masterfully combines hard science fiction elements with human drama, as the story unfolds both the technical challenges of the rescue operation and the psychological stresses faced by those trapped. The narrative delves into themes of survival, ingenuity, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of the unknown. Clarke's detailed scientific knowledge enriches the plot, making the lunar environment both a formidable antagonist and a wonder to behold. "A Fall of Moondust" is celebrated for its meticulous attention to scientific accuracy, its tense, gripping storyline, and its exploration of human vulnerability and adaptability in the vastness of space. ; 19 x 13 x 2 cms; 224 pages.
