Overview

Neighbors saw Enoch Wallace as an ageless hermit, striding across his untended farm as he had done for over a century, still carrying the gun with which he had served in the Civil War. They must never know that inside his unchanging house, he met and conversed with a host of unimaginable friends from the farthest stars.
More than a hundred years before, an alien being named Ulysses had recruited Enoch as the keeper of Earth's only galactic transfer station.

Overview

Neighbors saw Enoch Wallace as an ageless hermit, striding across his untended farm as he had done for over a century, still carrying the gun with which he had served in the Civil War. They must never know that inside his unchanging house, he met and conversed with a host of unimaginable friends from the farthest stars.
More than a hundred years before, an alien being named Ulysses had recruited Enoch as the keeper of Earth's only galactic transfer station. Now Enoch studied the progress of Earth as he tended the tanks where the aliens appeared, and the charts he made indicated that his world was doomed to destruction. His alien friends could only offer help that seemed worse than the dreaded disaster.
Then he discovered the horror that lived across the galaxy . . .

Clifford Simak, winner of Hugo, Nebula, Grand Master, and other science fiction awards, was never more clearly a master of modern SF than in this novel of a simple farmer who bridged the gap between humanity and the stars. This powerfully entertaining and thought-provoking work is one of the all-time great favorites of science fiction.

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
A handful of sf heavy hitters. Simak's City won the 1953 International Fantasy Award for best novel, while Way Station earned the 1963 Hugo for best novel. Pangborn, who also snagged an International Fantasy Award, is honored with a 50th-anniversary edition of Mirror and a 40th-anniversary edition of Davy, which also sports new cover art by noted illustrator Michael Kaluta.

    Hugo winner, back in print!

    One of THE classics of the SF field is back in print with the best cover to ever grace the book. See the comments for the Old Earth Books edition of Simak's CITY (the complete edition!) - the apply here. Here's what Robert Heinlein wrote: 'To read science fiction is to read Simak. The reader who does not like Simak stories does not like science fiction at all.'

    SIMAK'S SECOND BEST EFFORT

    The measily 5 stars don't do this great peace of literature justice.The story is presented as a sci-fi fable, but in reality is nothing short of a philosophical parable that insightfully reflects the insignificance of our world on a grand scale of things. Subtle and marvelously written - no other sci-fi writer compares to Simak,but Bradburry and Asimov - this book is inferior only to Simak's 'CITY' and towers over virtually everything else written in the field. A must read for sci-fi and fiction fans alike. P.S. Here's a few more stars for Mr.Simak: * * * * * * * * * *
