Science fiction was born in Britain - and in the nineteen-seventies British SF offers the very best and most imaginative in modern writing.
Now Mike Ashley has compiled, in two volumes, a mammoth collection of classic stories presenting the history of British science fiction from H.G. Wells to Michael Moorcock.
Volume Two takes up where Volume One left off, with the beginnings of the 'new wave', and shows how, in the 'sixties, experimental and traditional SF existed side by side – in what was a new Golden Age for British SF. Writers include Bob Shaw, John Wyndham, Arthur C. Clarke, Kingsley Amis, Brian Aldiss, Fred Hoyle, J.G. Ballard, Michael Moorcock and Keith Roberts.
