Perilous Planets by Brian Aldiss Avon Books (1980) Perilous Planets is a collection of short stories by different authors. They are tenuously connected by the fact that they're set on alien worlds. In this book you'll find authors such as Robert Sheckley, Damon Knight, Norman Spinrad, Clifford D. Simak, Alan E. Nourse, E. C. Tubb, Frederik Pohl, and more. Special note: the books by Brian Aldiss that I've added recently are all in good condition except they are all owner inscribed and the rims have been taped for protection. By taping the rims (the spine and part of covers) the rim areas are darker than the rest of the covers. The spines are actually preserved because of this! The incredible cover is by artist Alex Ebel. . Overall Great Condition, Great Spine, Small Area Of Covers As Well As Spine Has Masking Tape On It, Binding Tight, Pages Look Great, Previous Owner's Name On Back Of Front Cover In Black Pen [Wyatt James] . . . #perilousplanets #brianaldiss #paperbacksciencefiction #sciencefiction #fiction #instabooks #bookstagram #instabookstagram #normanspinrad #bookcollector #clifforddsimak #science #damonknight #instabook #frederikpohl #bookishlove #bookish #robertsheckley #shortstories #alexebel #avon #scifiart #syfy #scifibooks #avonbooks #avonsciencefiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CTzbNvBrJvi/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve been trying to get down the pile by the side of my bed so here’s 3 books I’ve finished recently! In the Reign of King John by Dan Jones is a nicely produced visual book on the history of Magna Carta and the wider effects of the year 1215 on British, and world, history. I enjoyed this little brief break from fiction. Dimension of Miracles by Robert Sheckley is a very Douglas Adams-style Sci-Fi adventure written before Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Whereas the humour and grand philosophical ideas were well intertwined in HGttG, this book did struggle sometimes to blend the two in a seamless way so you often had to wait for the philosophical exposition to be over before the humour picked up again. I still enjoyed it though. And To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers was a beautiful, brilliant short story. Chambers is definitely one of my favourite authors and this novella is full of her typical humanity and wit. With characters pit against the grander scale of the universe whilst showcasing their personal lives. I can’t wait for the finale to her ongoing trilogy! #books #bookstagram #beckychambers #danjones #robertsheckley https://www.instagram.com/p/CLoy7TIno8ipUQI_q2JN3oQMZS393gy_RznkA00/?igshid=60b4j6p48b5d

Robert Sheckley 'The People Trap' (Pan, 1972-77). Art by Chris Foss. One of his earliest book covers, its a recreation of a painting he did for a Stanley Kubrick article in the Sunday Times 1969 #chrisfoss #stanleykubrick #robertsheckley

La revista twilight zone 80s sirvió como un puente para refrescar el exitoso programa de los 60s en formato de revista antologica, por la cual pasaron diversos escritores algunos noveles y otros ya cosagrados.
Robert Sheckley contribuyo con algunos relatos cortos.
La Ciénega es una pequeña ficción que nos adentra de lo que parece ser un inocente juego que termina en un macabro ritual.

At St Thomas University I took a course in Science Fiction short stories. This is the textbook, which I'm rereading. I particularly recommend "Specialist " by Robert Sheckley. #reading #readingissexy #sciencefiction #bookstagram #book #textbook #robertsheckley

* Bir bilimkurgu klasiği olan roman yazarın Türkçe'ye çevrilen ilk ve tek roman olma özelliği taşımaktadır. Çağımız dünyasına ve kapitalist sistemin çarkını yerle bir etme ve eleştirme uğraşı içinde olan, sarsmaya çalışan bir birey...
** Dünya üzerinde suç işleyen ve suça bulaşmış bireyler hapishaneye atılmak yerine hafızaları silinerek "Omega" adında sadece suçlu bireylerin olduğu gezegene gönderilmektedir. Will Barent adlı kişi diğer adıyla "402" gönderilenler arasındadır.
*** Farklı bir galaksi sisteminde, eski yaşamına format atılan bir birey olarak uyanan 402 yeni hayatına bir uzay gemisinde gözlerini açarak başlıyor. Dünyanın bir barış mekanı olması adına gönderilen bu bireyler, insanın olduğu yerde kötülüğün olduğu düşüncesinden hareketle suç eksik olmuyor.
**** Hafızaları silinen suçlulardan oluşan Omega gezegeninin iyi bir yer olduğu tasavvuru hayal edilir. Oysa sonuç bundan çok farklıdır. Omega tamamen katı kurallar, gelenlerle bezenmiş davranışlar, kötülüğü ve barbarlığı öne çıkaran bir gezegen. Daha iyi bir konuma gelmek için yasalara, hukuğu ayaklar altına almaktan geçiyor.
***** Kötülüğün ve Oligarşik suçluların düzeninin hüküm sürdüğü bu gezegende bu yerleşik anlayışa birilerinin dur demesi gerekiyordu. Will Barent yüksek sesle ve büyük cesaretle yerleşik düzene kılıcı çekecek olan kişi olarak role bürünür.
****** Kurulan bu statü, mevki uygarlığında günümüz gelişmemiş ve kapitalist toplumların bir özelliği olarak karşımıza çıkar. Daha iyi bir yere gelmek ancak başkasının sırtına basarak onu ezerek elde edilir. Omega dünyası bu düşünceden uzak değildir. Çünkü Omega dünyasında birini öldürerek nüfus kağıdında ismi yok edilerek sizin isminiz yazılıyor ve sahip olduğu mal varlıkları artık sizin...
******* Kitap sadece bilimkurgudan öte birçok öğeyi içinde harmanlamış bir yapıt. Polisiye, distopya, gerilim, bilimkurgu öğeleri bir arada. Devlet aygıtının araçları aracılığıyla yönetme adına türlü mekanizmaların meşrulaştırıldığı bir ortamda günümüz dünyasının modern varyasyonuna uzak olmayan bir toplum modeli başarılı bir şekilde çizilmiş. Mutlaka okuyun...

Re-reading this at the moment: I read it for the first time 30-odd years ago and, it made a strong impression on me back then. #robertsheckley #sciencefiction #books #PilgrimageToEarth #sciencefictionauthor #scifi #scifibooks https://ift.tt/2IhutX1

Death Wish ♦ By Robert Sheckley ♦ Science Fiction ♦ Full Audiobook
Title: Death Wish
Author: Robert Sheckley
Genre(s): Science Fiction
Language: English
Read By:  Gregg Margarite
Librivox Recording
The space freighter Queen Dierdre was a great, squat, pockmarked vessel of the Earth-Mars run and she never gave anyone a bit of trouble. That should have been sufficient warning to Mr. Watkins, her engineer. Watkins was fond of saying that there are two kinds of equipment -- the kind that fails bit by bit, and the kind that fails all at once. Compared with a spaceship in distress, going to hell in a handbasket is roomy and slow

The Best Of All Possible Worlds by Spider Robinson Ace Books (1980) I love getting to post rare sf anthologies like this one. Get this, it's a collection where Robinson chose his favorite less-publicized scifi short stories, then asked each author in turn to choose their favorite short story. It's got authors such as Larry Niven, Theodore Sturgeon, Terry Carr, Robert Sheckley, and Robert Heinlein. Certainly a book I'd like to add to my personal collection someday. . Overall Good Condition, Good Spine With Some Light Creases, Binding Tight, Pages Look Good . . . #thebestofallpossibleworlds #spiderrobinson #paperbacksciencefiction #sciencefiction #robertsheckley #instabooks #bookstagram #instabookstagram #paperback #bookcollector #bookstore #science #scifi #terrycarr #bookaddict #theodoresturgeon #bookish #larryniven #anthology #shortstories #robertheinlein #robertaheinlein #syfy #scifibooks #acebooks #acesciencefiction https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFCM1NgxFw/?igshid=1b0x19mrr1av0
