The 1975 Annual World's Best Science Fiction

  • 1 Want to read

Top notch. Reliable. Authentic. Best of "the best." Highly recommended.

These are just a few of the favorable comments made by reviewers about this series in past years. They will be made again for this prime and authentic selection of the superior science fiction stories of the year past.

It is a Daw tradition that the "World's Best" is not merely the first of its kind each year but that it holds up as the most solidly certain selection of the fines and most memorable science fiction stories by the writers, old and new, of the highest talent.

The 1975 Annual World's Best SF is always what its name implies.

First Sentence

"The cities of the Shkeen are old, far older than man's, and the great rust-red metropolis that rose from their sacred hill country had proved to be the oldest of them all."
