A Scatter of Stardust by the late British author E. C. Tubb (ISFDB, Wikipedia) is a collection of his vintage short science fiction stories from the 1950s onwards, free courtesy of publisher Endeavour Press's Venture imprint, who are e-printing it from an 1976 edition originally out from Dennis Dobson, now in an expanded edition with several additional newly-collected stories.
Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK and pretty much everywhere else worldwide that Amazon sells, since this is being done via their KDP Select exclusive-or-else program) And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day. Because it's always a treat to receive sfnal freebies, and a vintage collection of old science fiction stories by a well-established author who's probably some Gentle Reader's nostalgic favourite, newly expanded with a few extras that might otherwise be rather hard to find, from a publisher who's been quite dedicated to bringing back what they've acquired from his estate and generously offering us introductions to his work, is doubleplus good and welcome. ![]() Enjoy! Description Never before in ebook, A Scatter of Stardust is a collection of ten science fiction stories sure to delight fans of the genre! In this collection, magic and science, mind and matter, strange worlds and deadly weapons fill the universes created by E. C. Tubb. Strange bells that toll tales of death... A quick trip to Paradise… A deal with an outdated demon… Mankind’s final pilgrimage… The telepathic death sentence… Ginney, a little girl who wasn’t there but left the world a present anyway… One criminal left in a universe of his own… Mark Conway, psychologist, a modern magician without a wand who seeks to dispel an ancient magic… Vivid and brilliant, A Scatter of Stardust are classic science fiction tales that will grip you until the last page. A perfect introduction to the writings of E. C. Tubb. Edwin Charles Tubb was a British writer of science fiction, fantasy and western novels. The author of over 140 novels and 230 short stories and novellas, Tubb is best known for The Dumarest Saga (US collective title: Dumarest of Terra) an epic science-fiction saga set in the far future. He has used 58 pen names over five decades. Edwin died in 2010. |
