The City at World's End and Other Works by Edmond Hamilton (Halcyon Classics)

Description

This Halcyon Classics ebook collection contains Edmond Hamilton's post-apocalyptic novel THE CITY AT WORLD'S END and a selection of his other science fiction novellas and short stories.

From the Jacket: The pleasant little American city of Middletown is the first target in an atomic war - but instead of blowing Middletown to smithereens, the super-hydrogen bomb blows it right off the map - to somewhere else! First there is the new thin coldness of the air, the blazing corona and dullness of the sun, the visibility of the stars in high daylight. Then comes the inhabitant's terrifying discovery that Middletown is a twentieth-century oasis of paved streets and houses in a desolate brown world without trees, without water, apparently without life, in the unimaginably far-distant future.

Hamilton was an early contributor to pulp science fiction magazines of the 1920s and 1930s, and is credited with publishing the first hardcover compilation of science fiction stories. Hamilton also wrote horror, fantasy, and thriller stories for the pulp market. He was married to fellow sci-fi author and screenwriter Leigh Brackett for more than thirty years.
