Science fiction was born in Britain - and in the nineteen-seventies British SF offers the very best and most imaginative in modern writing.
Now Mike Ashley has compiled, in two volumes, a mammoth collection of classic stories presenting the history of British science fiction from H.G. Wells to Michael Moorcock.
Volume One starts with the birth – with H.G. Wells – and takes the story as far as the beginnings of the 'new wave' with Brian Aldiss's extraordinary 'Old Hundredth'. Other authors include some of the great names of SF – John Wyndham, Eric Frank Russell, Arthur C. Clarke, John Brunner – and a few surprises.
