The collected science fiction adventures of Sam Gunn, astronaut, explorer, opportunist, and rogue-from a six-time Hugo Award-winning author.
"By far the science fiction author who will have the greatest effect on the science fiction world, and the world as a whole, is Ben Bova." - Ray Bradbury
"Lovers of SF romance and adventure will welcome . . . The Sam Gunn Omnibus , which collects all the tales featuring his iconoclastic astronaut hero." - Publishers Weekly
A hero without peer or scruples, Sam Gunn has a nose for trouble, money, and women-though not necessarily in that order. A man with the ego (and stature) of a Napoleon, the business acumen of a P. T. Barnum, and the raging hormones of a teenage boy, Sam is the finest astronaut NASA ever trained . . . and dumped.
But more than money, more than women, Sam Gunn loves justice. (And he really does love money and women.) Whether he's suing the Pope, helping twin sisters entangled in the "virtual sex" trade, or on trial for his life on charges of interplanetary genocide, you can be sure of one thing: this is one space jockey who'll meet every challenge with a smile on his lips, an ace up his sleeve . . . and a weapon in his pocket.
Now, for the first time between covers, author Ben Bova presents all the tales of Sam Gunn to date, including three never before collected in book form. Here is the entire chronicle of Sam Gunn, trailblazer and scoundrel, as he scams his way from one end of the Solar System to the other, giving bold new meaning to the term "venture capitalist."
"The James Bond of the science fiction universe. . . . In such tales as 'The Pelican Bar,' 'Nursery Sam,' and 'Isolation Area,' we see classic Gunn. He is like an avenging angel, who will do his utmost to help others because he believes in saving the underdog. This collection of the greatest works about Gunn stands as a monument to his greatness and the greatness of Ben Bova as well." - Shelf Life
"I always enjoyed Gunn's 'John-Wayne-in-space' attitude, the Heinlein 'by-your-bootstraps' approach to space exploration, engineering, and survival. If some of the best SF would be gathered, one of these memorable Sam Gunn tales would have to be included." - True Review
