Over the course of his legendary career, Harlan Ellison has defied-and sometimes defined-modern fantasy literature, all while refusing to allow any genre to claim him. A Grand Master of the Science Fiction Writers of America, winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Horror Writers Association as well as winner of countless awards, including the Hugo, Nebula, Edgar Allan Poe and Bram Stoker, Ellison is as unpredictable as he is unique, irrepressible as he is infuriating. E-Reads is proud to publish over thirty titles in Ellison’s brilliant catalog, now available in an elegant new package featuring Ellison himself. Genius never felt so combustible. – The original teleplay that became the classic Star Trek episode, with an expanded introductory essay by Harlan Ellison ‘The City on the Edge of Forever’ has been surrounded by controversy since the airing of an "eviscerated" version–which subsequently has been voted the most beloved episode in the series’ history. In its original form, ‘The City on the Edge of Forever’ won the 1966-67 Writers Guild of America Award for best teleplay. As aired, it won the 1967 Hugo Award. ‘The City on the Edge of Forever’ is, at its most basic, a poignant love story. Ellison takes the reader on a breathtaking trip through space and time, from the future, all the way back to 1930s America. In this harrowing journey, Kirk and Spock race to apprehend a renegade criminal and restore the order of the universe. It is here that Kirk faces his ultimate dilemma: a choice between the universe–or his one true love. This edition makes available this astonishing teleplay as Ellison intended it to be aired. The author’s introductory essay reveals all of the details of what Ellison describes as a "fatally inept treatment" of his creative work. Was he unjustly edited, unjustly accused, and unjustly treated?
