Summary:
In the days when science did seem to promise all the answers, Vance wrote tales set in the far future of his acclaimed Dying Earth. His alien worlds had ample room for exotic races, travelers, traders and scoundrels, and even space pirates. Here are sixteen of those early space adventures, spanning the years 1946 to 1956.
