Author Description

Armchair Fiction presents extra large paperback collections of the best in classic science fiction short stories. Here it is…our eleventh collection of Science Fiction Gems. This stimulating collection of science fiction gems offers a wide-ranging mixture of ideas from great authors like Isaac Asimov, Fritz Leiber, Howard Fast, Gordon R. Dickson, Stephen Barr, and others. “Pipe Dream” and “The Large Ant” show us that not everything is always as it appears, while “The Only One That Lived” and “Let’s Get Together” show two distinctly different sides of the alien coin. “David’s Daddy” reveals the anguish and horror of one man’s child, while “Man of Distinction” deals with the anguish of being absolutely nothing… Why shouldn’t one culture mimic another culture right down to the last little detail? Find out why in “Moral Equivalent.” “Birthday Present” tells of deception and murder, while “I Am A Nucleus” provides a view into the monstrosity of disorder. All these and more will usher you on a thought provoking journey through the endless realms of time and the farthest reaches of space. A journey during which you will discover perplexing options, mind-numbing realities, and sometimes…mankind’s atrocious behavior.
