Two complete novels and five novelettes that broke new ground in science fiction and established Philip Jose Farmer as a master of the genre:The Lovers: One of the most controversial and groundbreaking novels in science fiction. Sent by the religious tyranny of a future Earth to the planet Ozagen, Hal Yarrow met Jeanette, an apparently human fugitive, hiding in ancient ruins built by a long-vanished race. Unconsecrated contact with any female was forbidden to Yarrow-and love for an alien female was an unspeakable abomination. But Yarrows lifelong conditioning was no match for his strange attraction to Jeanette.Flesh: The starship captain had been on a voyage lasting 800 years, and returned to find an Earth ruled by revived ancient pagan rituals. He was crowned the Sunhero, which was a very dubious honor . . . and unless he could escape, he would be the guest of honor at a fertility rite which would conclude with his very unpleasant death.Strange Relations: Five novelettes of unbounded imagination telling of strange-and often deadly-encounters between human and alien.
