Synopsis:
This collection of stories from the master of the unexpected darts from the comic to the grave, from the palpable to the ambiguous, and shows Brian Aldiss at his most inventive. Covering such imaginative and diverse ground as: the final conversation to be held on earth; a doppelganger ark; alien beings; Stalin's daughter; Arab tourism; machines that bring paintings to life. Located on Aldiss' Zodiacal Planets or within the form of 'enigmas', these stories explore the unknown with chilling insight and irresistible wit.

Book Description Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustrator). 1979 Edition. © 1977: A collection of 14 short stories by Brian W Aldiss. 1st printing of 1979 edition:- Contents: Last Orders / Creatures Of Apogee / Enigma 1: Year By Year The Evil Gains / Enigma 2: Diagrams For Three Stories / Live? Our Computers Will Do That For Us / The Monster Of Ingratitude IV / Enigma 3: The Aperture Moment / Backwater / Enigma 4: The Eternal Theme Of Exile / The Expensive Delicate Ship / Enigma 5: Three Coins In Clockwork Fountains / An Appearance Of Life / Wired For Sound / Journey To The Heartland:- Synopsis: 'Last Orders' shows Brian Aldiss, master of the unexpected, at his most wittily inventive, whether recording the last conversation on Earth, a new Flood about to wash civilization away in its wake, massacring animals on an unknown planet, or inventing machines that bring paintings to life. These stories, either set on the Zodiacal Planets ('the zeepees') or cast in the form of 'enigmas', are marked by striking and prophetic ambiguities. 'Last Orders' offers a chilling warning of what we might find if a spaceprobe landed in the human soul:- Review(s): "Beautiful but enigmatic. Authentically imagined probings into the deepest areas of inner space. Real writing this" - The Spectator / "A new collection of short stories by the man who writes them better than nearly anyone in any kind of modern fiction" - Tribune / "One of the best and most memorable collections I have seen for a long time" - Edmund Cooper, Sunday Times:- (original cost £0.95).
