  The war comes to East Africa, Tarzan finds his estate burned and his wife apparently dead, and he goes into the German lines with nothing left to lose. Burroughs wrote it in 1919, and the fury of the middle chapters is wartime fury. Then the ape-man walks into a desert valley where a lost people worship lions, and the book turns back into a Burroughs adventure. Fifty-eight plates of jungle and tropical flora by painters including Marianne North and Edwin Landseer run through the volume, their orchids, water plants and drinking tigers keeping the wild world of the ape-man always in view.

  Emigrating from Mexico to San Diego, sixty-something Osvaldo Reyes intends to find his first love, Joanne Watson, a young writer he met over thirty years ago when she toured his hometown of Oaxaca City. But when Osvaldo’s employer in the United States shuts down due to protests, the clock starts ticking on his visa. He finds work at a local fish taco shop to buy more time in the US, but doesn’t know his sweet co-worker, a Mexican-American girl, is an ICE agent in disguise. Osvaldo ends up in an immigrant detention center where he meets Marcos Gomez, a young asylum seeker from Honduras separated from his family. Osvaldo shares his story with Marcos through a series of flashbacks interspersed by chapters from a tattered original manuscript Joanne gave him the last time they met. Slip Soul—the story within the story—is a metaphysical journey of good versus evil, toxic masculinity versus femininity, and provides the historical backdrop for Osvaldo and Joanne’s lifelong love separated by time and borders.

  The 1950s were a remarkable time for science fiction, when established masters and rising young writers filled magazines with stories that challenged expectations and carried readers into futures no one had seen before. 1950s Science Fiction 8 brings together 29 stories from that extraordinary decade, with celebrated classics alongside forgotten tales ready to be discovered again. 
  The lineup is exceptional. Alfred Bester delivers the unforgettable Fondly Fahrenheit, Fritz Leiber takes us beneath an altered sky in The Moon Is Green, and Frank Herbert invites us inside the mysterious Old Rambling House. Isaac Asimov contributes The Portable Star, while Walter M. Miller Jr. brings us Way of a Rebel. Ray Bradbury, Robert Silverberg, Evelyn E. Smith, C. M. Kornbluth, and Donald E. Westlake add even more variety to this impressive collection. 
  Robert Sheckley is represented by three stories—Proof of the Pudding, The Monsters, and The Deep Hole to China—each displaying the imagination and unexpected turns that made his fiction so distinctive. Elsewhere, strange transformations begin, missing rooms refuse to stay ordinary, distant worlds conceal dangerous secrets, and humanity encounters things it never expected to find. 
  There are journeys into space and stories that never leave familiar surroundings. Some imagine remarkable technology, while others begin with something seemingly ordinary before reality takes a very different turn. 
  With 29 vintage stories and an extraordinary roster of authors, 1950s Science Fiction 8 offers another journey through one of science fiction’s greatest decades. From famous names to writers rarely heard today, there is always another story—and another surprise—waiting just ahead.
