Three complete novels of mystery in space from Grand Master Robert
Silverberg explode back into print for the first time in decades in
this thrilling new Planet Stories collection! These extremely scarce
tales originally appeared in the legendary Ace Double novel series,
and represent a future multiple Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author
bridging the explosive, action-oriented science fiction adventures of
the early pulps with more introspective themes of the new wave that
swept sci-fi in the 1960s.
In The Chalice of Death, a human from the far edge of space must
track down the legendary planet that birthed his race tens of
thousands of years ago. For the legends hold that the long-forgotten
Earth holds the Chalice of Life, and the Chalice of Life holds
immortality!
In Starhaven, interplanetary fugitive Johnny Mantell flees
authorities to the artificial pirate world known as Starhaven,
sanctuary for the criminals and misfits of space. There he finds a new
home for himself -- as well as questions about his past, his future,
and his identity!
In Shadow on the Stars, deep space colonist Baird Ewing returns to
Earth for the first time in the thousand years since his ancestors
first departed, seeking aid against the aliens who seek to destroy his
colony. But the weapon he finds upon the ancient Earth can save only
one planet, and Ewing must choose between his two home worlds.
