The Best of OMNI Science Fiction No. 4

Three never-before-published stories and two science fiction classics are included among the contents of this, the fourth in a very popular and widely-selling series. The volume is organized into five sections and is illustrated throughout with artwork that has earned for Omni magazine a reputation for superlative graphics. Two of the sections consist of outstanding stories and pictorials originally published in Omni. The section titled “An Orson Scott Card Celebration” gives due recognition to an author frequently published in Omni and believed by the editors of this anthology to possess an extraordinary and still-unfolding talent. The section of SF originals is highlighted by Spider Robinson’s story “Rubber Soul”—a new kind of science fiction in which the return of a martyred rock superstar puts right certain celebrated relationships. The science fiction classics section is comprised of a renowned story by Alfred Bester and one by Brian W. Aldiss, each a giant of the genre and each proudly presented here.
