Seven stories of Majipoor from science fiction grand master Robert Silverberg

Hailed as "one of the most fully realized worlds of modern science fiction" (Booklist>), Majipoor is a planet unlike any other, with countless untold stories. Now, available for the first time in one volume, Silverberg presents seven tales that chronicle thousands of years of Majipoor’s history, from the arrival of the settlers of Old Earth to the expansion of vast cities to the extraordinary life of Lord Valentine. Within these stories lie the secrets of Majipoor - a wondrous world of incredible imagination.

I adore Silverberg's Majipoor series and this collection of stories is a delightful addition. I particularly enjoyed the Vroon love potion story and the murder mystery with Valentine himself. Silverberg's prose is so smooth and stylish and is extremely impressive despite his age when this was published. Any fan of his or Lord Valentine's Castle should most definitely read this.

The narrator, Rudnicki is also fantastic. His smooth, deep voice made this an extremely enjoyable listening experience.

Great addition to the Majipoor universe
