Synopsis

Here, out there, or beyond, S-F has produced some of the most imaginative fiction in out literature -- and Judith Merril has established herself as its premiere anthologist and critic.

Her latest collection, the tenth in this consistently excellent series, surpasses all that have gone before. Never have Miss Merril's forays into the realms of available science-fiction yielded as stunning a literary harvest: Romain Gary, Arthur C. Clarke, James T. Farrell, Issac Bashevis Stinger, Fritz Leiber, J.G. Ballard, John D. MacDonald, Alan E. Nourse, Thomas M. Disch, and Stephen Becker are just a few of the glittering array that has been selected.

This edition of The Year's Best S-F contains more than thirty of the finest examples of science-fiction inventiveness. It is an extraordinary anthology that will stimulate and challenge even the most seasoned science-fiction traveler.
