Three visionary sci-fi novels from the Hugo Award–winning author
whose dystopian prescience made him “one of the most important”
(SF Site). British science fiction master John Brunner remains one
of the most influential and respected authors of all time, and now
many of his classic works are being made available to new generations
of readers. The very definition of timeless, Brunner’s skillful and
often frightening political and social commentary takes its place
alongside the most iconic works of Arthur C. Clarke, Aldous Huxley,
Margaret Atwood, and George Orwell. The Sheep Look Up: In a near
future of poison air and soaring health hazards, environmentalist
Austin Train is on the run—from the insurrectionists who want him to
lead and the government that wants him dead, in this Nebula Award
Finalist. “An arresting diary of what’s in store for us.”
—The Washington Post The Crucible of Time: On a planet hurtling
precariously through space, an alien civilization struggles for
generations against ice ages and catastrophic meteors while scientists
slowly develop the technology that will ultimately save them.
“Impeccably detailed, and beautifully thought out, even to the
fascinating alien personalities, speech patterns, and thoughts:
Brunner in top form.” —Kirkus Reviews, starred review The
Jagged Orbit: In this Nebula Award Finalist, a journalist tries to
expose the corrupt director of a mental hospital in a dystopian future
where drug abuse, organized crime, and the inhumane treatment of
anyone deemed “insane” have all but destroyed social order.
“One of his most trenchant dystopias, yet it is as irresistible as
it is biting.” —SFReviews.net
