Galaxy Science Fiction changed the direction of modern science fiction, and this substantial Super Pack gathers more than five hundred pages of the stories that helped define its legacy. Edited in its classic years by H. L. Gold, Galaxy Science Fiction arrived in 1950 and quickly became one of the essential magazines of the field. Where earlier science fiction magazines often emphasized engineering, hardware, and heroic problem-solving, Galaxy made room for sharper social satire, psychological pressure, literary experimentation, political unease, dark comedy, and strange new forms of speculation. It gave a home to writers who did not always fit comfortably into the dominant modes of Astounding or The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and readers responded with enthusiasm. In this second Galaxy Science Fiction Super Pack, Fantastic Stories Presents brings together another generous collection of classic stories from one of science fiction's defining magazines. Here are tales of alien worlds, failed utopias, social breakdown, future law, grotesque comedy, human adaptation, strange machines, moral paradox, and civilizations pushed beyond their limits. The result is a wide-ranging portrait of mid-century science fiction at its most inventive, restless, and alive. Included here are: "Dream World" by R. A. Lafferty "The Imitation of Earth" by James Stamers "Amateur in Chancery" by George O. Smith "The Lamps of the Angels" by Richard Sabia "Conditionally Human" by Walter M. Miller, Jr. "Dawningsburgh" by Wallace West "Extracts from the Galactick Almanack" by Laurence Janifer "Breakdown" by Herbert D. Kastle "A Matter of Protocol" by Jack Sharkey "Charity Case" by Jim Harmon "The Rag and Bone Men" by Algis Budrys "Pick a Crime" by Richard R. Smith "Shatter the Wall" by Sydney Van Scyoc "Always a Qurono" by Jim Harmon "Subject to Change" by Ron Goulart "Sales Talk" by Con Blomberg "The Big Engine" by Fritz Leiber "Accidental Flight" by F. L. Wallace "The World That Couldn't Be" by Clifford D. Simak "Solid Solution" by James Stamers "With These Hands" by C. M. Kornbluth "A Fall of Glass" by Stanley R. Lee "Sordman the Protector" by Tom Purdom "Jamieson" by Bill Doede "The Music Master of Babylon" by Edgar Pangborn "The Defenders" by Philip K. Dick A substantial single-volume collection, Fantastic Stories Presents the Galaxy Science Fiction Super Pack #2 is ideal for readers of classic science fiction, Golden Age and post-Golden Age SF, vintage magazine fiction, space adventure, social science fiction, and historically important speculative literature.
