Summary: Timeless classics of science fiction
Comment: Most of these classic stories are from the years 1939-1950, an era where A.E. van Vogt was, along with Robert Heinlein, the most popular science fiction author in America. And although much science fiction written so many years ago has become dated, van Vogt's stories, for the most part, are still fresh and exciting.
If you have never read van Vogt, be prepared to be swept away from the very first sentence. His stories are not always logical, nor are all loose ends always tidied up, but they move along at breakneck speed, are filled with ideas, and will contain moments that you will remember forever.
From a historic perspective, you will see some of the first science fiction stories dealing with human-alien warfare (The Sound, The Rull), humans that can travel back through time (The Search), encounters with energy vampires (Asylum), humans of varied nationalities populating a spaceship that explores the galaxy, and beyond (Black Destroyer, War of Nerves), and so much more.
A few of van Vogt's classic novels have recently been reprinted, but sadly most of his work is out of print. Here is probably your last chance to own a large collection of his best short stories - stories that are timeless classics of science fiction.
