Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

A signed paperback copy of Ben Bova’s Forward in Time,collecting a decade of his near-future and space-centered short fiction. This example is signed by Bova on the title page and additionally signed by the cover artist -- Vincent DiFate, giving it dual-signature appeal. Modest cosmetic wear consistent with age, but solidly presentable and notable as an association copy from the Jeri Kandel estate. Physical description:Trade paperback. Illustrated wraps. Approximately 7 x 4.25 inches. 276 pages, Publisher’s advertisements present. Printed in the United States of America. Condition statement: Wraps rubbed with edge wear and surface scuffing. Spine shows a noticeable lean but no creasing. Faint used-bookstore stamp to the spine. Interior pages clean with light age-toning. Signed by Ben Bova on the title page and signed by the cover artist. First Popular Library paperback edition. Scarcity note: Unsigned copies are common. Copies signed by Ben Bova are less common, and examples additionally signed by the cover artist are uncommon in the market. Forward in Time gathers eleven stories written between the early 1960s and early 1970s, reflecting Bova’s interest in realistic spaceflight, orbital mechanics, political power, and the human cost of technological progress. Several stories originated in genre magazines and anthologies associated with the "hard SF" tradition, emphasizing plausible science and professional astronauts rather than far-future fantasy. Contextual or historical significance: Ben Bova was a central figure in late-twentieth-century American science fiction, serving as editor of Analog and Omni while shaping the genre’s turn toward scientifically grounded storytelling. This collection reflects the period’s Cold War–era concerns with space, surveillance, and authority. There is no major film adaptation associated with this work. Subjects: Space exploration, near-future technology, political power in fiction, human survival, Cold War science fiction, magazine-origin science fiction.…
