The war raged across the galaxy. Billions had died, billions more were doomed. Moons, planets, the very stars themselves, faced destruction, cold-blooded, brutal, and worse, random. The Idirans fought for their Faith; the Culture for its moral right to exist. Principles were at stake. There could be no surrender. Within the cosmic conflict, an individual crusade. Deep within a fabled labyrinth on a barren world, a Planet of the Dead proscribed to mortals, lay a fugitive Mind. Both the Culture and the Idirans sought it....

The sun is bloated, diseased, dying perhaps. Beneath its baneful light, Shadrapar, last of all cities, harbours fewer than 100,000 human souls. Built on the ruins of countless civilisations, Shadrapar is a museum, a midden, an asylum, a prison on a world that is ever more alien to humanity. Bearing witness to the desperate struggle for existence between life old and new is Stefan Advani: rebel, outlaw, prisoner, survivor.

Resumen del Editor
Avram Davidson was one of the great original American writers of this century. He was erudite, cranky, Jewish, wildly creative, and sold most of his wonderful stories to pulp magazines.
Now, his estate and his friends have brought together a definitive collection of his finest work, each story introduced by an SF luminary: writers like Ursula K. Le Guin, William Gibson, Poul Anderson, Gene Wolfe, Guy Davenport, Peter S. Beagle, Gregory Benford, Thomas M. Disch, and dozens of others. This is a volume every lover of fantasy will need to own.

It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Three months ago, Tansy Bloom quit monster hunting. Since then, she’s been trying to live a normal life (whatever that means), but ending up single, unemployed, and living on a boat outside her godfather’s pub definitely wasn’t part of the plan. So, when Tansy’s ex-husband – fellow monster hunter Rex Barclay – turns up like a bad penny and asks for her help with his latest investigation, Tansy reluctantly agrees. At first, the job appears to be a straightforward monster hunt – following a spate of large creature sightings, Rex believes a werewolf is on the loose in Norfolk.

So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

And nowhere is Bester funnier, speedier, or more audacious than in these seventeen short stories—two of them previously unpublished—that have now been brought together in a single volume for the first time.

Historia
The Einstein Intersection won the Nebula Award for best science fiction novel of 1967. The surface story tells of the problems a member of an alien race, Lo Lobey, has assimilating the mythology of Earth, where his kind have settled among the leftover artifacts of humanity. The deeper tale concerns, however, the way those who are "different" must deal with the dominant cultural ideology. The tale follows Lobey's mythic quest for his lost love, Friza. In luminous and hallucinated language, it explores what new myths might emerge from the detritus of the human world....

Millenials need not apply
I'll start with a warning: if you think Disney's Star Wars and the new James Bond movies are great, pass this book over, don't bother.
If, on the other hand, you like Literature more than action-packed books, appreciate Saki's humor and Bradbury's poetry-filled style, realize there is more to sci-fi than starships and more to fantasy than dwarves, this MAY be the book for you.
The stories are uneven. Some are great, some are boring or meandering or not clear what they are even about.
The narration is uneven. Rudnicki is amazing, Rubinstein so-so, others indifferent.
Some stories you'll skip over. Others will wow you.
In the end, it's not for nothing this is called a collection. It collects readers as much as it does stories, and if someone was to study the readers and their preferences, it would tell us more about the world than the stories themselves.

Amazing
A simply amazing collection. I was late to discovering Avram and I’m slowly working my way through all of his books. This collection is an amazing sampling of his work.

Some Better Read Then Heard but Very Good
overall, I'm glad this collection was made. It's just too much to write about in one sitting but for the audiobook I think it's a mixed bag. some narrators were very good and others I had to skip over and pick up the actual book.
Davidson reveals his context slowly as the stories go and most of the time you're waiting for the last paragraph or the very last line to get the "AHA" moment. the author forwards are immensely helpful as I would have missed a ton of points without them, and I know I still missed many more.
I'm glad that recently it seems like someone is bringing his work back into publication, if the audible message at the end is correct!

Avram Davidson is a literary genius!
If you are a connoisseur of fine literature or if you enjoy short fiction, you are in for a treat!! I believe that I will never be the same after reading this amazing treasure trove. My advice is to listen to each story more than once, they are like some fims, you get more out of it the second time. One of my favorites is the slovo stove. "It didn't even get warm!!"

Superb collection!
A superb collection by a brilliant and under appreciated writer. Davidson was a master practitioner of the short story.

Chapter and introduction labeling is baffling
I had to stop listening. Unusual stories which are fun to hear. Unfortunately the labeling/cuts of individual introductions and chapters is bizarre. Can't follow it, particularly if I lose my place, which is easy to do with this presentation.

Only a few good stories
Avram is a writer of tales/short stories. Some fit in the sci-fi genre. Unlike a book you might greatly enjoy from beginning to end. I would only recommend a few stories. I was hoping to get interested by the introductions that have been included for each story. But this very seldom happened. The stories I did like from Avram: 'Help! I Am Dr. Morris Goldpepper', 'Now Let Us Sleep', 'Or the Grasses Grow', 'The Woman Who Thought She Could Read', 'And Don't Forget the One Red Rose', 'Crazy Old Lady'. As for the words from the other contributors I would like to mention those by Bill Pronzini, Harlan Ellison, Ethan Davidson, Ray Bradbury and Harlan Ellison again.

Dinosaur dribble 😏
I guess, if you're into old movies with James Dean, John Wayne or maybe the original black and white Dracula movie, you might like this collection. Otherwise it's simply to old.. Like overhearing a group of dinosaurs remembering "The good old days"..

Great cure for Insomnia.. ZZZzzz…
Couldn’t make it more than a few chapters. I kept waiting for any of the stories to be Sci Fi, interesting, or even mildly entertaining. But they’re not. At all.
The reader drones in a baritone almost without inflection. The stories are “artsy”, but boring as hell.
I wanted to love this. I wanted to find a new Sci Fi writer that I could enjoy, but just couldn’t get into this at all.
