The Saturn Game: The Collected Short Stories Volume 3

About this book

Step into the imagination of one of science fiction's true master craftsmen. The Saturn Game gathers a rich selection of Poul Anderson's short fiction, spanning time travel, fantasy, near-future thrillers and far-future adventure, all first published in leading magazines such as Analog, Astounding, Galaxy and The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. The volume opens with the title novella, "The Saturn Game", a story of explorers on a distant moon and the games the mind plays in isolation. Alongside it you will find the fantasy "No Truce with Kings", the Sherlockian puzzles, and stories featuring Manse Everard, David Falkayn and Nicholas van Rijn. Tales such as "Sunjammer", "Supernova", "Hunter's Moon", "What'll You Give" and "Eve Times Four" show Anderson's range, from hard-science speculation to wry humour and human drama. The collection also includes an editor's introduction by Rick Katze, an essay by Tom Easton on science fiction as an ongoing conversation between writers, and a handful of Anderson's playful limericks and songs. With around 260,000 words across dozens of stories, this is a generous feast for fans of classic SF and for newcomers who want to discover why Poul Anderson remains so beloved.
