His novels include First and Last Men, Last Men in London, Star Maker and Odd John.

About this product

Product Information

One moment a man sits on a suburban hill, gazing curiously at the stars. The next, he is whirling through the firmament, and perhaps the most remarkable of all science fiction journeys has begun. Even Stapledon's other great work, LAST AND FIRST MEN, pales in ambition next to STAR MAKER, which presents nothing less than an entire imagined history of life in the universe, encompassing billions of years.

Great science fiction writting
A great read, well ahead of its time. Difficult to read in places, but stick with it, well worth it. Has some really good science fiction ideas in it.
