They were such cute synthetic creatures, it was impossible not to love them. Of course, that was precisely why they were dangerous!

A space rover has no business with a family. But what can a man in the full vigor of youth do--if his heart cries out for a home?

The Earth was green and quiet. Nature had survived Man, and Man had survived himself. Then, one day, the great silvery ships broke the tranquillity of the skies, bringing Man''s twenty-thousand-year-lost inheritance back to Earth....

Des siècles après le Grand Déluge de Flammes, quelques communautés émergent de la barbarie. Parmi elles, un ordre religieux fondé par le savant Leibowitz pour sauvegarder les livres et le savoir qui subsistent. Le frère Dent-Noire Saint-Georges, un moine d''origine nomade appartenant à l''ordre albertien de Leibowitz, reprend le flambeau, tant bien que mal. En effet, il doute de plus en plus de sa foi et souhaiterait être libéré de ses vœux. Mais les temps qui viennent risquent d''avoir raison de ses désirs : un conflit menace de nouveau, l''élection d''un nouveau pape est de plus en plus difficile et le monde pourrait bien retomber dans ses pires travers.

Walter M. Miller Jr is best remembered as the author of A Canticle for Leibowitz, universally recognized as one of the greatest novels of modern SF. But as well as writing that deeply felt and eloquent book, he produced many shorter works of fiction of stunning originality and power. His profound interest in religion and his innate literary gifts combined perfectly in the production of such works as The Darfstellar, for which he won a Hugo in 1955, Conditionally Human, I, Dreamer and The Big Hunger, all of which are included in this brilliant and essential collection.

Twenty-one short stories explore the nature of life in the aftermath of a nuclear war, in an anthology that features works by such distinguished science fiction authors as Arthur C. Clarke, Poul Anderson, Ray Bradbury, J. G. Ballard, Robert Sheckley, Roger Zelazny, and Harlan Ellison. Reprint.

From the author of the acclaimed A Canticle for Leibowitz (for which he won the Hugo Award) comes this classic collection of short fiction.

Millennia have passed since the Flame Deluge, yet society remains fragmented, pockets of civilization besieged by barbarians. The Church is in turmoil, the exiled papacy struggling to survive in its Rocky Mountain refuge. To the south, tyranny is on the march. Imperial Texark troops, bent on conquest, are headed north into the lands of the Nomads, spreading terror in their wake.

The winner of the 1961 Hugo Award for Best Novel, Miller''s bestselling work is a true landmark of 20th-century literature--a chilling and still-provocative look at a post-apocalyptic future.

Following a nuclear war, the Dark Ages descend on 32nd century America which has split into warring nations. Only the Catholic Church has any influence and the novel follows the travels of its peace envoy, Brother Blacktooth.
