Lot of 3 Book: The Deathworld Trilogy&Again Dangerous Visions & Approaching.... The Death World Trilogy Approaching Oblivion. The Death World Trilogy: They called Jason dinAlt a brilliant inter-planetary gambler, but the odds were 100 to 1 that he'd never leave the world of Pyrrus alive. Warned of the dangers he'd find on the planet-an orb where all native life forms had evolved into murderous flora and fauna-Jason's craving for adventure and high stakes nevertheless drove him to make the voyage. His arrival on the death-dealing planet was the start of a nightmare. Jason had to be totally reconditioned to the ways and means of survival on Pyrrus. They gave him a gun which automatically leaped out of its holster and into his hand when there was any hint of danger. They put him through months of rigorous training in lethal alien environments-where a fatal blow could just as easily come from a pretty flowered plant as from a horrifying winged bat-beast. Again, Dangerous Visions: All you need to know about this book: It is the companion volume to the most influential book of speculative fic-tion in the past twenty-five years, the award-winning Dangerous Visions. Of course, you've heard of Dangerous Visions. Approaching Oblivion: The most honored (and the most controversial) writer in the field of imaginative literature is at the peak of his volcanic form in these eleven previously uncollected stories that (if they don't rip aside, at least) pull back for a disturbing view the veil separating us from our possible futures. These are stories of odd delusions, wry fantasms, terrifying glimpses of where we're going, individually and as a species... stories that sound a cautionary note about the foolhardiness of Humanity tinkering with a Universe that, up till now at least, has been content to let us survive here on this infinitesimal dust-mote as long as we don't get too smart for our own good.
