Science fiction legend Robert Silverberg reflects on some of his earliest, least-reprinted tales in this new Planet Stories collection Between 1956 and 1958, Silverberg contributed dozens of short stories and novellas to the digest pulps, each written in the bombastic, high-adventure style of the original Planet Stories magazine. Since then, those tales have re-appeared only rarely (and sometimes never again) in long out-of-print paperback anthologies. This volume, the first of three to come this year, features seven hard-to-find classic Silverberg novellas: Slaves of the Star Giants, Spawn of the Deadly Sea, The Flame and the Hammer, Valley Beyond Time, Hunt the Space-Witch , The Silent Invaders, and Spacerogue.

And you know what? I signed up for all the honors classes these past four years. None of them prepared me for Eden's Bluff, a school in the Bermuda Triangle with human-elemental hybrids, angels, snakes with wings, and an inter-dimensional veil that someone is trying to destroy.
Unless I stop them.
