Now he was serving his sentence on Omega - a prison planet walled by a ring of hovering guard-ships from which there was no escape. Omega was a world of horror, a savage, ruthless way of life. But it was only a momentary ordeal, a prelude to a return to Earth and the subtle terrors of its own status civilization. Robert Sheckley was a Hugo and Nebula-nominated American author. He was first published in science fiction magazines of the 1950's. His numerous quick-witted stories and novels were famously unpredictable, absurdist and comical. Sheckley was named Author Emeritus by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America in 2001.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spastic Cat Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45538205302935,"sku":"9781612039824","price":1063.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781612039824.webp?v=1767463917","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/omega-9781612039824","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
