A SAUCER OF LONELINESS Volume VII: The Complete Stories of Theodore Sturgeon "Intelligent, humane, tantalizing stories, every one of which evokes the sense of wonder. Sturgeon's stories are treasures from Elfland.' —Carl Sagan "One of the best writers in America ... Sturgeon is a master storyteller certain to fascinate all sorts of readers, not only science fiction fans." —Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. "Sturgeon's often tender explorations of alien minds were as carefully worked out as Faulkner's exploration of the mind of the idiot in The Sound and the Fury. His emphasis on psychology instead of blasters prepared the way for most modern masters of the science fiction genre." —Stephen King "In fifty years of storytelling Sturgeon spoke to us of love, again and again and yet again, without ever repeating himself. A terrific writer; I enjoyed every word he ever published." —Robert A. Heinlein "The Sturgeon magic does not diminish with the years. His stories have a timeless quality and a universality which is beyond fantasy and science fiction and yet is always found in the best of those genres." —Madeleine L'Engle "The words 'Live long and prosper' were written by Ted Sturgeon—a wonderful dramatist with the heart of a poet—in his beautiful script for 'Amok Time,' possibly the single Star Trek episode with the most resonance today." —Leonard Nimoy "One of the all-time masters of the SF short story. This multivolume project to bring many of his classic tales back into print is long overdue." —Publishers Weekly CONTENTS Foreword by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. . . . ix A Saucer of Loneliness . . .
