A 1978 anthology from Pan, including stories by Robert Silverberg, Thomas M. Disch, A.K. Jorgensson, Anne McCaffrey, Brian Aldiss, Hilary Bailey, John Sladek and Michael Moorcock. I’m afraid that despite the stellar array of authors and the potentially interesting subject matter, this is not a great collection; several of the stories depend on a rather rapey concept of consent, the Aldiss contribution is frankly incomprehensible (I see that this is its only publication apart from its original appearance in F&SF) and the Moorcock is an excerpt from Dancers at the End of Time that I already have in two different editions. Hilary Bailey’s “Sisters” is the best of these, and it’s more about bio weapons than sex.

BF1411 H645m : This is a good one. Funky fonts, genuinely informative, celebrity factoids. Did you know Anthony Perkins only wears laceless shoes because he fears the bad luck of a loose lace? Amusing and useless, right up my ally!

Read as a teenager and did not display this book to my parents! Can't remember a thing about it.

I loved this book when I was a child. Now all I can remember is that the main character is a tween-aged badass, last of a famed training technique that churned out the greatest warriors the universe had ever known. The Legionnaires are betrayed and the main character alone can avenge them, I think?

A well-written YA science fiction yarn. This is one of a series, so we begin in the middle and end before the end, if you follow me. The back-story was well handled with a minimum of lengthy explanation, and the premise seems solid. The action is non-stop, and believable.

Keill Randor is the last survivor of a band of Legionaries murdered by a mysterious Warlord. He has been saved and bionically enhanced by a race of super beings that monitor activities in our galaxy and are trying to stop this murderous force. Keill becomes their agent. In this episode (which is what this book is - an episode in a continuing story), he is battling not only an almost impervious "Deathwing" of the Warlord, but also a deadly Starwind - the result of a rogue wandering planet that periodically scours all life from the planet.½

I read it once. It was fun ;P

Ok, as cheesy as I remember. I am happy
