Ancient, My Enemy

The award-winning and much honored Gordon R. Dickson, author of the bestselling DORSAI books and many other praiseworthy novel and science fiction stories, has selected nine of his finest tales in this book. Here are stories of interstellar exploration, of adventure at the dawn of star flight and at the ultimate end of star flight, of man versus machine, of man versus nature, and of man versus the cosmos. If you like science fiction, it will be impossible not to find among these tales several that will prove to be as memorable in fantasy experience as any you will ever read again. Such is the skill and imagination of Gordon R. Dickson, one of the real giants of the science fiction world. (from the back cover of the DAW Books first printing)
