At the Human Limit
(2011)(The eighth book in the Collected Stories of Jack Williamson series)
A collection of stories by Jack Williamson
The ambitious program to collect the short fiction of Grand Master Jack Williamson concludes!
br/> As with previous volumes in this series, the full-color endpapers reproduce the original magazine covers (with artwork by modern masters including John Berkey, Virgil Finlay, Bob Eggleton and Vincent Di Fate) of the stories herein, and the binding is designed to match the 1940s editions of Williamson's works published by Fantasy Press. The book is smythe-sewn, bound in full cloth, and printed on acid-neutral paper, with full-color endpapers reproducing the original pulp magazine cover art. With a foreword by award-winning author and long-time friend of Williamson, Connie Willis, At the Human Limit represents the changing state of mid-20th Century American Science Fiction and concludes the documentation of Williamson's unparalleled career.
