A. Bertram Chandler Knihy
Arthur Bertram Chandler bol austrálskym autorom vedeckej fantastiky. Jeho skúsenosti ako dôstojníka obchodného námorníctva, ktorý brázdil svet, hlboko ovplyvnili jeho nápadité príbehy. Chandler skúmal témy vesmírneho cestovania a dobrodružstva, pričom svoje príbehy často napĺňal drsným realizmom a obrovským rozsahom svojho námorníckeho života. Jeho jedinečná perspektíva ponúkla čitateľom podmanivú zmes mimoriadneho a uzemneného.
Edited by Ben Bova. Contains "Firewater" by William Tenn, "Giant Killer" by A Bertram Chandler and "Black Destroyer" by AE Van Vogt.
