Omnibus edition featuring: The City And The Stars: Men had built cities before, but never such a city as Diaspar. For millennia its protective dome shut out the creeping decay and danger of the world outside. Once, it held powers that rule the stars. But then, as legend has it, the invaders came, driving humanity into this last refuge. It takes one man, a Unique, to break through Diaspar's stifling inertia, to smash the legend and discover the true nature of the Invaders.

Walter Franklin works on a submarine patrol - and his adventures under the sea are told in this riveting tale, set against the backdrop of a world both futuristic and familiar...A Fall Of Moondust: For a million years the bubble had been growing, like a vast abscess, below the root of the mountains. Now the abscess was about to burst. Captain Harris had left the controls on autopilot and was talking to the front row of passengers as the first tremor shook the boat. For a fraction of a second he wondered if a fan blade had hit some submerged obstacle; then, quite literally, the bottom fell out of his world. It fell slowly, as all things must upon the Moon. The sea was alive and moving . . . Every stage of that nightmare transformation was pitilessly illuminated by the earth light, until the crater was so deep that its firewall was completely lost in shadow, and it seemed as if Selene were racing into a curving crescent of utter blackness – an arc of annihilation. In darkness and in silence, they were sinking into the Moon...Rendezvous With Rama: At first, only a few things are known about the celestial object that astronomers dub Rama.

It is, incredibly, an interstellar spacecraft. Space explorers and planet-bound scientists alike prepare for mankind's first encounter with alien intelligence. It will kindle their wildest dreams... and fan their darkest fears. For no one knows who the Ramans are or why they have come. And now the moment of rendezvous awaits — just behind a Raman airlock door... -

But his insurance covered freezing in liquid nitrogen against the possibility of someday being thawed, repaired, and returned to life.

While job -hunting, he unintentionally insulted one Heinzlichen Jura de Syrtis Major, who took out a hunting license on him - a license to kill - and suddenly 2527 did not seem quite so delightful after all...Cover art by Bruce Pennington. -
