The Lovers: Een van de meest controversiële en baanbrekende sciencefictionromans. Gestuurd door de religieuze tirannie van een toekomstige aarde naar de planeet Ozagen, ontmoette Hal Yarrow Jeanette, een ogenschijnlijk menselijke voortvluchtige, die zich verstopte in oude ruïnes die waren gebouwd door een lang verdwenen ras. Ongewijd contact met welke vrouw dan ook was verboden voor Yarrow - en liefde voor een buitenaardse vrouw was een onuitsprekelijke zonde. Maar Yarrows levenslange conditionering was geen partij voor zijn vreemde aantrekkingskracht tot Jeanette.

Flesh: De kapitein van het ruimteschip had de fout gemaakt om te landen op een vergeten planeet die eeuwen geleden was gekoloniseerd door gelovigen in oude heidense show more rituelen. Tenzij hij kon ontsnappen, zou hij deel uitmaken van een vruchtbaarheidsritueel dat zou eindigen met zijn zeer onaangename dood.

Strange Relations: Vijf novelles van onbegrensde verbeelding die vertellen over vreemde ontmoetingen tussen mens en buitenaards wezen.

Deze drie werken werden eerder als afzonderlijke boeken gepubliceerd, maar worden hier voor het eerst samen gepubliceerd.

Philip José Farmer was born in North Terre Haute, Indiana on January 26, 1918. He worked in a steel mill while attending Bradley University at night and writing in his spare time. In 1952, his story The Lovers, in which a human has sex with an alien, was published in a pulp magazine called Startling Stories and won him the Hugo Award in 1953 for show more most promising new author. He quit his job to become a full-time writer, but a string of misfortunes eventually forced him to take jobs as a manual laborer. He worked as a technical writer from 1956 to 1970, but continued writing science fiction. He finally found success in the 1960's with the Riverworld series. He wrote more than 75 books throughout his lifetime including the Dayworld series and the World of Tiers series. He also wrote short stories. He won the Hugo award for best novella in 1968 for Riders of the Purple Wage and for best novel in 1972 for To Your Scattered Bodies Go. In 1988, he was the recipient of the Writers of the Past Award and the Nova for best book for Riverworld. In 2001 he was awarded the Grand Master Award and the World Fantasy Life Achievement Award. He died on February 25, 2009 at the age of 91. (Bowker Author Biography) show less
