Description

A notable physician and science fiction writer, Alan E. Nourse is best remembered for his novel The Blade Runner. However, he went on to write many stories which are extremely popular today, five of which are present in the compilation Five Stories.

This collection contains 5 stories which portray different aspects of the future of mankind. They also expand the notion of psionics, a favorite topic of the author who mainly focused on it as well as on medicine in his works.

Psionics is a fictional science which refers to the study, practice as well as harnessing of psionic abilities. People with psionic powers can perform extraordinary feats with the power of the mind alone, such as move objects through telekinesis, read minds through telepathy or induce various other paranormal phenomena.

The collection contains 5 stories, most of which hadn’t been published before. The author explores the potential of people with psionic powers and their adventures. Gold in the Sky is a thrilling story about a distant planet with valuable resources, while Martyr deals with a sacrifice one protagonist must make. All of the stories have their own charm and originality, as the plots are masterfully written and entangled yet they may end to surprise you.

All of these come from Alan Nourse, a respected author who has inspired future generations of science fiction writers. His dedication to expanding the psionic science and universe has popularized concepts that we now take for granted, such as telepathy and telekinesis.

Readers will definitely fall in love with the atmosphere and believable characters in these Five Stories. A highly recommended book collection that will keep readers on the edge and delight them with fantastic stories set in the distant future, in a faraway land.
