1 2 y separately published work icon Four Faces, Wobbly Mirror Chester Eagle , Melbourne : Wren , 1976 Z545032 1976 single work novel This work 'concerns two apparently well-matched couples who, at the outset of the story, have little more than a dinner-party acquaintance with each other. Yet a crossover of affections takes place between the partners and two new relationships develop - one inhibited but passionate, the other more freely sexual though still bound by personal limitations.'

1 1 y separately published work icon Beyond Tomorrow : An Anthology of Modern Science Fiction Lee Harding (editor), Melbourne : Wren , 1976 Z517354 1976 anthology No single volume could hope to do justice to the wide variety of science fiction now being published throughout the world. In Beyond Tomorrow I have brought together some of the finest contemporary writing from England and America, and combined it with a selection of Australian stories, demonstrating that there are a number of writers in this country already experienced in the difficult art of writing science fiction.

Recent years have witnessed an astonishing flowering of the genre in places as wide afield as Poland, Japan, Russia and South America, to mention only a few. Only a small proportion of this interesting new work has so far been made available in translation, and in some cases rights have proven difficult to obtain. These problems will be solved in time, and I like to think that future publications of this nature will include a representative selection of these important new voices.
