Jack Vance has long been one of the most influential, admired and imitated writers in science fiction and fantasy literature, the award-winning author of such widely acclaimed works as The Dying Earth, the Lyonesse trilogy, the adventures of Cugel the Clever, the Demon Princes series, and many other masterful tales set among the stars, in exotic fantasy realms or on our own Earth. For much of his career, Vance has also been one of the field's most private writers, an author who preferred to let his work speak for him. Now, at last, to coincide with the release of the tribute anthology Songs of the Dying Earth, Jack gives us this intimate and fascinating glimpse into his rich and eventful life, and a valuable insight into how he went about practicing his craft. For fans of the Grand Master's work, these memoirs are something to be treasured.

Big Planet is populated by an odd assortment of splinter societies, where beauty and evil dwell in uneasy proximity. The self-styled Bajarnum of Beaujolais seeks to rule the planet; Claude Glystra leads a commission from Earth to investigate, but his ship is sabotaged in orbit and crashes far from safety. Glystra must trek 40,000 miles across the vast surface of Big Planet to Earth Enclave if he is to succeed - but his first challenge is to survive. Big Planet is Volume 4 of the Spatterlight Press Signature Series. Released in the centenary of the author's birth, this handsome new collection is based upon the prestigious Vance Integral Edition. Select volumes enjoy up-to-date maps, and many are graced with freshly-written forewords contributed by a distinguished group of authors. Each book bears a facsimile of the author's signature and a previously-unpublished photograph, chosen from family archives for the period the book was written. These unique features will be appreciated by all, from seasoned Vance collector to new reader sampling the spectrum of this author's influential work for the first time. - John Vance II

In the days when science did seem to promise all the answers, Vance wrote tales set in the far future of his acclaimed Dying Earth. His alien worlds had ample room for exotic races, travelers, traders and scoundrels, and even space pirates. Here are sixteen of those early space adventures, spanning the years 1946 to 1956.
