The boundless imagination of Philip Jose Farmer ranges from the past to the future, from searing emotional drama to ribald hilarity, in this remarkable collection of science fiction classics.

Riders of the Purple Wage, the Hugo Award- winning saga of a world where work has been abolished, is only one of the inventive and exciting visions that Farmer has dared to bring to life. Enter a brutal future city where sterilization is the only answer to poverty. Join St. Francis himself on an illuminating voyage through time. And witness a titanic struggle between alien beings and the Internal Revenue Service.

Sometimes shocking, always surprising, the stories of Philip Jose Farmer never fail to entertain.
