DESCRIPTION
The influential science fantasy masterpiece that inspired a generation of writers
One of the most influential science-fantasy worlds ever envisaged, which inspired a generation of writers including George R.R. Martin
Vance's fantasy masterpiece, available for the first time in the UK as one volume.
The fourth in the Fantasy Masterworks series, the Dying Earth saga inspired writers like Michael Moorcock and Gene Wolfe, who freely acknowledges his debt to Vance in his own Book of the New Sun.
Here, in one volume, is Hugo, Nebula and World Fantasy Award-winning author Jack Vance's classic Dying Earth saga comprising The Dying Earth, The Eyes of the Overworld, Cugel's Saga and Rhialto the Marvellous. Travel to a far distant future, when the sun bleeds red in a dark sky, where magic and science is one, and the Earth has but a few short decades to live .
