“Every ’old’ book is a ’new’ adventure for anyone who has ’never’ read it.” ®

Description : From the front flap…Interstellar civilizations rise, flourish and fall in this unique collection of superb stories!

Galactic Empires is more than an anthology : it is a vast two-volume novel of the future by some of the greatest science fiction writers, including Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Poul Anderson, Clifford Simak, Cordwainer Smith, A. E. Van Vogt, Harry Harrison and many others.

Some of the stories have been undeservedly neglected since their publication in obscure and now defunct sci-fi magazines; others are acknowledged classics. All of them have been placed carefully so that they fit logically into the overall saga of man’s conquest of the galaxy, the wars of empire, and the final dissolution and destruction of humanity’s greatest endeavor.
