Beyond ArmageddonWalter M. Miller, Martin Harry Greenberg In Beyond Armageddon, the distinguished science fiction writer Walter M. Miller Jr. (1923?96) and the famed anthologist Martin H. Greenberg have together collected stories that address one of the most challenging themes of imaginative fiction: the nature of life after nuclear war. The twenty-one stories in this collection, by masters such as Arthur C. Clarke, Poul Anderson, Ray Bradbury, J. G. Ballard, Robert Sheckley, Roger Zelazny, and Harlan Ellison, explore a variety of possibilities of ?life after.? These richly imagined stories offer glimpses into a future no reader will soon forget. Miller?s incisive introduction and a thought-provoking and irreverent commentary are included. New to this Bison Books edition is a postscript to the introduction provided by Martin H. Greenberg. |
