David Falkayn: Star Trader: The Technic Civilization Saga Lowest new price: $3.75
Lowest used price: $0.01
List price: $7.99
Author: Poul Anderson

First Time in Mass Market for the Further Adventures of Nicholas Van Rijn, One of the Most Popular Characters in Science Fiction, and His Resourceful Assistant, David Falkayn—Including a Complete Novel, Satan’s World, in a Large Volume of Science Fiction Adventure.

The Polesotechnic League of star traders was prospering, and Nicholas Van Rijn, its most flamboyant member, was prospering most of all as commerce flowed between the stars. But not all League members played fair when trading, nor did some of the non-human races of the galaxy object to dirty tricks. Van Rijn could not be everywhere, and relied on his representatives, foremost among them his young protégé, David Falkayn, and the members of David’s trader team: Adzel, a large dragon-like being who practiced Buddhism, and Chee-Lan, a brilliant but hot-tempered felinesque extraterrestrial.

 

This is the second volume in the first complete edition of Poul Anderson’s Technic Civilization saga. And, after the three volumes chronicling the Polesotechnic League’s rise and fall will come more volumes, telling of the rise of the Terran Empire and the adventures of Poul Anderson’s other legendary character, Captain Sir Dominic Flandry.

Rise of the Terran Empire: The Technic Civilization Saga Lowest new price: $3.75
Lowest used price: $0.52
List price: $7.99
Author: Poul Anderson

First Time in Omnibus Mass Market. Nicholas Van Rijn, One of the Most Popular Characters in Science Fiction, and His Resourceful Assistant, David Falkayn, Against a Conquering Dictator. Includes Two Full-Length Novels, Mirkheim and The People of the Wind, in a Large Volume of Science Fiction Adventure.

Nicholas van Rijn, the most flamboyant member of the Polesotechnic League of star traders, could see dark times ahead. Fellow league members were using tactics verging on outright piracy, and others were all too eager to sell starships and high-tech weapons to alien barbarians. A planet not previously known for interstellar commerce suddenly revealed a secret fleet of armed starships, and started building an empire. Even if Van Rijn and his right-hand man David Falkayn could find a way to stop this blatant aggression, the glory days of the League were over. Hereafter, for its own protection against well-armed alien marauders the Earth must maintain a strong military fleet, and one charismatic man would found an empire that would learn nothing of the lessons history taught about the fates of other empires as it began annexing other star systems, whether they wanted to join the Terran Empire or not . . .

 

This is the third volume in the first complete edition of Poul Anderson’s Technic Civilization saga, and it includes a classic novella which appears here in book form for the first time. And the next volume begins the adventures of Poul Anderson’s other legendary character, Captain Sir Dominic Flandry.

Sargasso of Lost Starships & The Ice Queen

Sargasso of Lost Starships & The Ice Queen Lowest new price: $10.98
List price: $12.95
Author: Poul Anderson

Armchair Fiction presents extra large editions of classic science fiction double novels. The first novel is “Sargasso of Lost Starships” by one of the most heralded sci-fi authors of all time, Poul Anderson. The Terrans wanted Basil Donovan for a long interstellar voyage into one of the most feared regions of outer space. They needed him to guide them into the Black Nebula—a place from which few starships had ever returned. But Donovan hated the Terrans. They had conquered his planet and turned his life as a member of the Royal Family into a shambles. However, there was more to it than just hating the Terrans. Donovan had been one of the few men to ever come back from the Black Nebula alive. And since his return, his grip upon his own sanity had been tenuous at best. He had been a captive in the Black Nebula, the captive of a race of bizarre alien creatures whose mental powers were far beyond those of ordinary human beings. There was also a beautiful female alien waiting for him there, a green-eyed alien whom he both hated and loved. And he knew she would never let him go home again—alive. The second novel “The Ice Queen” was penned by one of the most prolific science fiction authors of the golden age of pulp magazines, Don Wilcox. An adventurous tale of a lost world, hidden beneath the ice. When Jim McClurg signed on to be ship’s artist on the Aurora, he thought he was embarking on a long rescue mission, a lengthy sea voyage into ice-infected Arctic waters in search of a lost fur trader, missing some five years. And all he had to do was paint lovely pictures for his eccentric employer. However, the Lady Lucille Lorruth wanted more than to find her missing husband. Somewhere in these frozen wastes was a fortune in furs, left in a secret cache several years earlier. A fortune she coveted perhaps even more than the life of her husband. But guarding them was a strange, beautiful girl—a girl who rode a fantastic white tiger with intelligence and seemingly super scientific powers. Together they guarded the entrance to a fantastic lost world hidden beneath vast layers of glacial ice.

This story follows them over two thousand years, up to our time and beyond -- to the promise of utopia, and to the challenge of the stars.

A milestone in modern science fiction and a New York Times Notable Book when first published in 1989, this is one of a great writer's finest works.
