Enter the fascinating and uncanny world of Philip K. Dick with Upon the Dull Earth, a gripping and mind-bending science fiction and fantasy short story drawing inspiration from Shakespeare's "The Two Gentlemen of Verona." Venture into the unknown as you follow Silvia, who possesses an extraordinary ability to summon mysterious and powerful angel-like creatures. Desperate to confirm their true nature and their relation to her destiny, Silvia's journey challenges our notions of reality and our understanding of ancestral ties. As Silvia's strange talents disturb her family and her boyfriend, Rick, events quickly spiral out of control, leading to heart-wrenching consequences. Driven by loss and longing, Rick's obsessive quest to bring Silvia back from a higher realm scatters chaos, confusion, and transformation in his wake. Can they navigate the shifting landscape of this higher reality, or will their desires ultimately bring about the world's annihilation? From the visionary mind behind blockbuster films such as Blade Runner, Total Recall, and Minority Report, Upon the Dull Earth showcases Dick's favorite themes, while unraveling a unique and terrifying twist that will leave you questioning the very essence of reality. Don't miss this haunting classic that will linger with you long after the final page.

Now with a new introduction for the Tor Essentials line, A Fire Upon the Deep is sure to bring a new generation of SF fans to Vinge's award-winning works. A Hugo Award-winning Novel! “Vinge is one of the best visionary writers of SF today.”-David Brin Thousands of years in the future, humanity is no longer alone in a universe where a mind's potential is determined by its location in space, from superintelligent entities in the Transcend, to the limited minds of the Unthinking Depths, where only simple creatures, and technology, can function. Nobody knows what strange force partitioned space into these "regions of thought," but when the warring Straumli realm use an ancient Transcendent artifact as a weapon, they unwittingly unleash an awesome power that destroys thousands of worlds and enslaves all natural and artificial intelligence. Fleeing this galactic threat, Ravna crash lands on a strange world with a ship-hold full of cryogenically frozen children, the only survivors from a destroyed space-lab. They are taken captive by the Tines, an alien race with a harsh medieval culture, and used as pawns in a ruthless power struggle.
