A father communicates with his unborn son to warn him of impending dangers . . .

On the fringes of a galaxy waits a machine inhabited by a terrifying being with one mission: to destroy a planet in our solar system . . .

These stories and more await readers in Space, Time, and Nathaniel. Originally published in 1957, this collection marked Brian W. Aldiss’s entry into science fiction.
