Alpha 4

By Alfred BesterBrian W. AldissNorman Spinrod, et al.

Book Overview

The fourth in a series of superb science fiction.

The Alpha series of anthologies center on no particular theme except that of literary quality.

Two criteria were used in the selecting of these stories-literary merit and importance to the genre. The result is that the variety of subjects is matched only by the richness and diversity of their handling-brilliant, frightening, clever, bizarre, powerful, witty, funny-and several steps in-between. Simply put, here is the best science fiction from the best science fiction writers.

While a small number of science fiction writers are immensely well known, the Alpha series is intended, in part, to draw attention to some of the lesser known writers, whose work is equal in vision and artistry of those who have become household names.

Customer Reviews

making science fiction literature

The short stories in this book will take your mind to places that you will never forget. The best part about this book is the quality of EVERY story of which there are about 12 or so (that's from memory so don't quote me on it). You will want to read the rest of the books in the series after reading this one! There is no doubt that the stories in this book fix the realm of science fiction firmly into the history of human literature.
