1.Dimensions of Sheckley : The Selected Novels of Robert SheckleyDimensions of Sheckley : The Selected Novels of Robert Sheckley
from Nesfa Press
Price: $29.00

Customer Review:
Apparently when he was asked how he compared himself to Robert Sheckley, whose work he had borrowed from extensively, Douglas Adams (Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy) had the grace to say 'he's better than me'. I'd be inclined to agree with that. These stories, which are all from the period when... more info

2.The Masque Of MananaThe Masque Of Manana
from Nesfa Pr
Price: $26.10

Customer Review:
This book was not what I expected when I read somebodies recommedation for it. It was presented to me as though Sheckley was an icon of early scifi. Maybe he was, but scifi in it's early stages must have been alot different. The collection of stories were all satirical and silly. They were like... more info

4.[no image]Tenth Victim
from Mandarin

Customer Review:
A really wonderful and interesting book: an essay, a novel, a screenplay, but it's enough to say "Sheckley in the best vintage". Maybe someone has seen Elio Petri's movie, with Marcello Mastroianni and Ursula Andress: well, the novel is even better. A bitter father of Douglas Adams, a sharp and... more info

from Bantam Spectra

Customer Review:
8/13/01 I have read both Zelazny's and Sheckley's books:"If At Faust You Don't Succeed"(timed in the middle ages with the wrong apothecary being kidnapped by the evil forces in error) and "Bring Me The Head Of Prince Charming", where body parts of the dead, are used to reconstruct a Prince (using... more info

7.[no image]Victim Prime
from Methuen

Customer Review:
romance, comedy, and carnage! Sheckley has rarely been funnier, and yet as time goes on his near -future world seems ever closer, and it's very unsettling to read this and wonder if deep down we may not already be there. (less than 5 years ago, a british newspaper found 52% of those surveyed would... more info

8.Draconian New York (Alternative Detective)Draconian New York (Alternative Detective)
from Forge Books
Price: $11.01

Customer Review:
Funny. Witty. Surprising. Think of any positive adjective and it probably applies to Sheckley's Alternative Detective novels. Sheckley's writing technique is so sharp and his characters so real and engaging that even without the mystery element, these books would be riveting. That there _is_ a... more info

9.Soma Blues (Alternative Detective)Soma Blues (Alternative Detective)
from Forge Books

Customer Review:
When I heard about this book, I was excited, since Sheckley is one of the few writers who writes decent comedic science fiction.

His foray into mystery is not a successful one. This book wasn't good or bad, it was just ordinary. There was nothing really remarkable about the plot or the characters,... more info
