Comprised of works by American, British, and French authors, the collection contains three first editions of Brian Stableford's work, and a signed copy of his novel The City of Sun. This collection contains Darker Than You Think and The Humanoid Touch by American author Jack Williamson, The Fury by Henry Kuttner, The Penetrators by Anthony Gray, and the first in Jack Vance's Demon Princess Series. The collection also includes an excellent translation of The Ice People by Rene Barjavel, whose works often emphasise the durability of love against a backdrop of a collapsing civilisation, often due to war or technocratic hubris. Barjavel is thought to be the first to think of the inconsistency or grandfather paradox in time travel, exemplified when a time traveller kills an ancestor, consequently effecting their own existence. As well as a conspiracy thriller by American author Edwin Corley, the set includes The Mote in Time's Eye from French writer Gerard Klein. Finally, there are three first editions of Brian Stableford's work, including a copy of The City of Sun which is signed by the author to the title page. Darker Than You Think, The Humanoid Touch, The Balance of Power, and Wildeblood's Empire all have price stickers to the front cover.
