"This is a collection that reprints all four of Jack Vance's "Dying Earth" stories, The Dying Earth, Eyes of the Overworld, Cugel's Saga, and Rhialto the Marvellous. These stories are somewhat mixed in quality. The Cugel tales are quite amusing, if picaresque. I like the Dying Earth, the first, the best. These books were the basis for the magic system found in the Dungeons and Dragons role playing game. Trade Paperback.""

"A classic of the SF genre. "The Panarch of Pao is dead and Beran Panasper, his young son and heir, must flee the planet to live and avenge his father's death. It is at the secret fortress on the planet Breakness that Beran discovers the dreaded truth behind the assassination of his father-and much more. The people of Pao are a docile lot, content to live in harmony with the rest of the cosmos, but the scientists at Breakness seek to alter the psychology of the Paonese for their own purpose-and Beran holds the key to their audacious plan." Vance makes use of the "strong" Sapir-Worf hypothesis to craft a story of cultural change via controlled linguistic change.""

"Set on the decadent world of Fader, whose inhabitants only pursue leisure with a genetic slave class to do their labor. The planet's inhabitants are paralyzed by lack of will in the face of many dangers. Vance developed his own alien vocabulary whose meaning emerges as the story unfolds.""

"Williams was one of the Inklings, a cadre of friends including C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. He wrote "spiritual thrillers", novels concerning religious or philosophical subjects presented in a most unconventional and fantastic manner. I enjoy his works immensely, but I concede that they're not for everyone. Unfortunately not all of his works are in print. These are available, however.""
