520 "This volume, the first of a two-volume set gathering the
best American science fiction from the tumultuous 1960s,
opens with Poul Anderson's immensely popular The High
Crusade, in which aliens planning to conquer Earth land in
Lincolnshire during the Hundred Years' War. In Clifford
Simak's Hugo Award-winning Way Station, Enoch Wallace is a
spry 124-year-old Civil War veteran whose lifelong job
monitoring the intergalactic pit stop inside his home is
largely uneventful--until a CIA agent shows up and Cold
War hostilities threaten the peaceful harmony of the
Galactic confederation. Daniel Keyes's beloved Flowers for
Algernon, winner of the Nebula Award and adapted as the
Academy Award-winning movie Charly, is told through the
journal entries of Charlie Gordon, a young man with severe
learning disabilities who is the test subject for surgery
to improve his intelligence. And in the postapocalyptic
earthscape of Roger Zelazny's Hugo Award-winning . . . And
Call Me Conrad (also published as This Immortal) Conrad
Nomikos reluctantly accepts the responsibility of showing
the planet to the governing extraterrestrials'
representative and protecting him from rebellious remnants
of the human race. Using early manuscripts and original
setting copy, this Library of America volume restores the
novel to a version that most closely approximates
Zelazny's original text."--Provided by publisher.
