The Good Stuff
Author: Gardner Dozois (Editor)

A combination of two separate anthologies into an omnibus: 'The Good Old Stuff: Adventure SF in the Grand Tradition' and 'The Good New Stuff: Adventure SF in the Grand Tradition'. Adventure stories have been one of the mainstays of science fiction since its earliest days. 'The Goo... more »d Old Stuff': These stories were all written in the heyday of adventure SF, from 1940 through the 1960s, and they first appeared in such magazines as Astounding Galaxy, Future Fiction, and Startling Stories. Many have not been in print for years. All of them retain the breathtaking sense of wonder that is science fiction's feature characteristic. From the seas of Venus to the farthest reaches of space, these stories will take you places you've never dreamed before!; and 'The Good New Stuff: Once the mainstay of science fiction, adventure stories fell out of favor during the 1960s and early 1970s. But in recent years, science fiction writers have spun out galaxy-spanning adventures as imaginative and wonderful as any of yesteryear's tales. These stories brim with the exciting thrills our universe offers us-- alien landscapes, unimagined realms, life unlike any we have known before, and that mysterious realm known as the human soul. The Good New Stuff shows that they really do still write 'em like that!
