From his first sale in 1950 to his work this year, Harry Harrison has been one of the science fiction world's creative dynamos, working in every subgenre of the field, always entertaining, provocative and bursting with ideas. Parodic one moment, serious the next, Harrison has been called by Brian Aldiss "one of the few authors capable of carrying the old vigour of earlier days forward into a new epoch." Now, on the occasion of his fiftieth anniversary as a professional writer, Harrison gathers together fifty of his best stories - one for each year - along with substantial notes and introductory material for a whirlwind tour of his best work. 50 in 50 is at once a memoir, a compendium of a singularly engaging body of work and a look at the history of science fiction in the second half of the twentieth century.
