Описание:
Jack Vance is undoubtedly one of the most gifted and versatile authors of science fiction today. The winner of a Hugo, a Nebula, and a World Fantasy Award, Vance lays claim to a career that spans more than five decades of critical acclaim and devoted readership. Tor Books has recognized his widespread audience and for years has brought classic Jack Vance novels back into print--most recently The Demon Princes, Volume One, and omnibus containing the first three books of Vance's beloved Demon Princes series. Tor now presents "The Demon Princes, Volume Two, " and omnibus containing the series' final two novels, "The Face "and "The Book of Dreams."
Kirth Gersen carries in his pocket a slip of paper with a list of five names written upon it--the names of five Demon Princes. The Demon Princes are a race of beings who disguise themselves as humans and delight in power and destruction. however, to Kirth they are merely murderers who killed his family and destroyed his home planet--and who deserves to die for those misdeeds. Three have already fallen in Kirth's hands, but there are two more names on his list, two more Princes who will live only long enough to regret their evil ways.
Lens Larque was just as unique as the other Demon Princes--uniquely appalling. He was personally ugly, startling vicious, and arrogant above all others. Larque's own mission was a villainy of the highest order, and his personal obsession with success kept him hidden well from attackers--almost well enough. Howard Alan Treesong poisoned his friends, tortured his colleagues, and wrote his own horrific holy book, "The Book of Dreams." But, clever as he may be, a galaxy-wide guessing game will be his undoing--and Kirth Gersen's sworn vengeance will be complete.

Описание:
Here in one unforgettable volume are three of Jack Vance's best novellas-rich adventures of humanity in crisis, showcasing Vance's stylistic flair, creative ingenuity, wit, and storytelling skill: the Hugo-winning "The Dragon Masters," Hugo and Nebula-winning "The Last Castle," and that gem of science re-born, "The Miracle Workers."
Resilient Joaz Banbeck of Aerlith sends his remarkable dragons against the non-human Basics. Xanten of Castle Hagedorn deals with the alien Meks, in their war of retribution on our own beleaguered, far-future Earth; the pragmatic Sam Salazar outdoes his betters, to save the last remnants of the human race on Pangborn.

Описание:
Relatives of mankind, the benevolent Lekthwan come to Earth, sharing knowledge and superior technology.
Headstrong Roy Barch feels pangs of inferiority-particularly in the intellectual company of golden-skinned Komeitk Lelianr.

Описание:
Eleven generations ago, a ship carrying convicts to a prison planet crashed on a nameless ocean world. Survivors built an egalitarian culture on the pads of giant water plants, winning food, shelter, and the necessities of life from vegetation growing on the pads, and from the sea. But in the water swam the kragens, armored sea-beasts who raided the gardens at will. Early settlers fed one of the largest kragens deliberately, hoping it would chase the other beasts away. Over generations, the creature grew monstrous, while a caste of Intercessors evolved to feed and worship the beast. Now, the Intercessors seek to reign over the population, using King Kragen to manipulate and terrorize their fellow pad-dwellers. Sklar Hast defies the Intercessors, and vows to slay King Kragen. For that he will face ruin, exile and the loss of his true love. His rebellion brings war and death, even as it unleashes a surge of scientific advances which promise a new age of discovery; but first, King Kragen must die - Matt Hughes

Описание:
This collection contains "unpublished" work of SFWA Grandmaster Jack Vance, some rough, some well-developed. Previously released only in Volume 44 of the Vance Integral Edition, contents include proposals for screenplays (Clang, The Magnificent Red-hot Jazzing Seven), and outlines for novels (The STARK, Cat Island, a third Joe Bain novel titled The Genesee Slough Murders, The Telephone was Ringing in the Dark, and the wondrously atmospheric Wild Thyme and Violets).
Also:
Dream Castle, a 1963 rewrite of 1946's I'll Build Your Dream Castle, for Groff Conklin's anthology Great Stories of Space Travel.
The Kragen (Fantastic 1964), a fully-developed story, later expanded to become The Blue World.
Guyal of Sfere, a 1970 version of the final story of The Dying Earth (Mazirian the Magician), rewritten for Eight Fantasms and Magics. Is Vance's later style better suited to this story than the lush, voluptuous original of the 1940s? You decide.
Last but not least is an insightful foreword written by Paul Rhoads, Editor-in-Chief of the Vance Integral Edition. Mr. Rhoads discusses some of the technical problems encountered during the V.I.E. project, and brings his valuable perspective to each piece in turn-elucidating a perceptual background which provides the perfect context for these gems within the broad expanse of Jack Vance's extraordinary oeuvre.
