When Jack Vance decided to become a writer, a million-word-a-year man as he put it at the time, he probably couldn't predict he'd become one of the masters of the fantasy genre. Twelve fascinating stories, some with intriguing afterwords by the author, from his first publication, 'The World-Thinker,' through to the fast-paced novella, 'The Augmented Agent'.

The cream of Jack Vance's short to medium fantasy/science fiction. An excellent collection. No better sampler of Vance out there to date.
