![]() ![]() On rereading this anthology, I am astounded to discover that Malzberg, born in 1939, was only in his thirties when he and well-known mystery author Bill Pronzini assembled this anthology. The series’ name is emblazoned on the cover of the Ace MMPB 2 in font larger than the title of this book. The series demise was not due to lack of trying. The line did its best to capitalize its connection to Analog Science Fiction/Science Fact Magazine and five-time Best-Editor-Hugo-winner Bova, despite which the line lasted just fourteen months and eleven books, of which this was the second to last. The End of Summer was published as an Analog Book, an Ace Books imprint under the editorial guidance of former Analog editor Ben Bova. In keeping with the nostalgic theme of the Tears reviews, I opened my copy to find within a receipt from Scribe, the long-defunct but fondly remembered bookstore from which I purchased it 1. ![]() The End of Summer: Science Fiction of the Fifties was also published as The Fifties: The End of Summer. Malzberg and Bill Pronzini’s 1979 The End of Summer: Science Fiction of the Fifties is an anthology of what the editors regarded as the better science fiction of the 1950s. ![]()
