Star Maker

One moment a man sits on a suburban hill, gazing curiously at the stars. The next, he is whirling through the firmament, and perhaps the most remarkable of all science fiction journeys has begun.

Even Stepledon’s other great work, ‘Last and First Men’, pales in ambition next to ‘Star Maker’, which is nothing less than a history of life in the universe, encompassing billions of years.

‘SF Masterworks’ is a library of the greatest SF ever written, chosen with the help of today’s leading SF writers and editors. These books show that genuinely innovative SF is as exciting today as when it was first written.
