"The dream of author Harlan Ellison to answer, once and for all, by demonstration, the question not even Socrates could answer: Where do ideas com from?  The dream of creating a literary environment where an even dozen of the most brilliant writers and artists of our time could create a planet, from cosmic dust, from the chained lightning of their imaginations, and populate it, and write stories that take place on its mythic, pragmatic surface. To create the specs and write the stories about his creation Medea, Ellsion enlisted expert visionaries HAL CLEMENT, POUL ANDERSON, LARRY NIVEN, FREDERIK POHL, FRANK HERBERT, ROBERT SILVERBERG, THOMAS DISCH, KATE WILHELM, JACK WILLIAMSON and THEODORE STURGEON. The artist FRANK KELLY FREAS was brought in to paint the pictures created by this powerhouse team of dreamers. Now Medea exist. It beckons."   $25 price includes all shipping costs.
