At its best SF can combine lucid style, verbal innovation, provocative ideas and explosive imagination into a very heady brew indeed. With this fanfare, it is my pleasure to recommend Alfred Bester - The Sunday Times

The pyrotechnic virtuoso of science fiction - New York Herald Tribune

His plots are intricate, his stage the universe, and his action fast and violent - Manchester Evening News

'The Dark Side Of The Earth' gives aficionados a chance to re-examine the approach and techniques of one of SF's modern masters. Bester takes fairly familiar SF motifs - ESP, totalitarian futures, time travel etc - and whirls them in the centrifuge of his unique mind, producing dense, highly charged, frenetic narratives - Tribune

Seven first-rate short stories - Sheffield Morning

Contents:

Time Is the Traitor
The Men Who Murdered Mohammed
Out of this World
The Pi Man
The Flowered Thundermug

They Don't Make Life Like They Used To
