Poul Anderson
About
POUL ANDERSON
"He is SF's most prolific writer of any consistent quality, he has been awarded Hugos for five stories and novelettes... he has won two Nebulas. He is still in the prime of an extraordinarily fruitful career... a figure in the pantheon of American SF writers (like Isaac Asimov from the Golden Age or Frank Herbert from a decade later) of about the same age and perhaps no greater skill."
-
The Science Fiction Encyclopedia
"The great canvas of interstellar space comes alive under his hand as it does under no other." - Gordon R. Dickson
About
THE BOAT OF A
MILLION YEARS
"Here at long last, the big Anderson book we've all been waiting for! An unforgettable novel, with a cast as big as mankind and an adventure that charts the course of time. Read it, enjoy it, savor it... this may well be the best book of the year, hell, the decade." - Jerry Pournelle
"A searing ride through our human past and future... Makes us feel the passions of these few immortals, and wonder at where destiny eventually takes them." - David Brin
"The
Boat of a Million Years
- sometime
Narrenschiff
, ever the Flying Dutchman - offers first-class accomodations on a reading voyage down the ages, with stops at many a fascinating port. For a long time I felt Poul was too long between books. It is good to see why and to know, simultaneously, that it was worth the wait." - Roger Zelazny

Brain Wave
Cover Blurb
Poul Anderson
RUNAWAY IQ
The Change had come.
The world was suddenly. incredibly different. Somehow, the Earth had escaped from a force field that had until then slowed down light and otherwise affected electromagnetic and electrochemical processes. Almost overnight the intelligence of every living creature - man and beast - trebled. And the world went mad.
Archie Brock. the near moron, found himself in sole charge of a farm of strangely uncooperative animals and had to enlist the aid of superintelligent chimpanzees who had escaped from a nearby circus.
Peter Corinth, a physicist who started out life bright, was suddenly translated to an order of intelligence that left his rather dumb wife far behind... and she was no longer too dumb to notice.
But the biggest problem of all was the ultimate one. In a world without problems, where all the questions that have plagued mankind throughout history are solved, what is man to do with his time?

Larry Niven (Editor)
ONCE THERE WAS MAGIC
IN THE WORLD....
Unlimited magic, enough magic for every wizard's son who ever wished to cast a spell. But the "mana," the power that makes the magic and fuels the spells, is drying up, a natural resource wasted by centuries of careless and short-sighted magicians.
In
The Magic Goes Away
master fantasist Larry Niven chronicled the end of an age, and the beginning of a new world where steel and muscle rule. In this eagerly awaited sequel, Larry Niven has invited Poul Anderson, Steve Barnes, Mildred Downey Broxon, and Dean Ing into his world to tap the hidden reserves of mana and uncover the forgotten places of power. All is not lost. The magic
may
return.

Starship
Cover Blurb
Poul Anderson
THE WARS ARE OVER...
The conflicts of Planet Earth are forgotten now. Even The Solar System War with its
Cold Victory
is barely a memory. In this the third and final volume of THE PSYCHOTECHNIC LEAGUE, the scale is immeasurably greater: in Space, in Time... and in violence.
Starship
Poul Anderson is one of the most highly regarded writers of science fiction of all time, ranking with Clarke, Asimov, Herbert, and Heinlein. Among his Nebula and Hugo Award-winning works are THE LONGEST VOYAGE, NO TRUCE WITH KINGS, THE SHARING OF FLESH, THE QUEEN OF AIR AND DARKNESS, and GOAT SONG.
