Forbidden Planets by Marvin Kaye (Editor)
Hardback, Very Good condition
Genre: Science Fiction
Regardless of what you tell them, people tend to do the things they shouldn't. That defiance in the face of the unknown - that hubris which makes us meddle with things better left alone - is a traditional theme of sf&f. The early cinema emphasized its capacity to scare, and horror and sf films from Forbidden Planet to Alien resonate in our collective unconscious.
Forbidden Planets gathers their exciting original novellas, stories that go to worlds we wouldn't want to set foot on, while stirring up our innate desire to challenge the status quo.
- In "Mid-Death" by Alan Dean Foster, you never see death coming...
- Allen Steele's "Walking Star" shows how far some people will go for transcendence...
- In "JQ211F, And Holding" by Nancy Kress, there are worse things than death...
- In Robert Reed's aptly titled "Rococo," chaos means "disasters that never arrive along expected avenues..."
- "Kaminsky at War" by Jack McDevitt asks, "What do you do when the rules say 'don't interfere' - and you must?"
- For the people in Julie E. Czerneda's story, there truly is "No Place Like Home."
