Gauntlet's "Classics Revisited" line

IMPACT 20, William F. Nolan’s first short story collection, celebrates its 50th Anniversary with a Gauntlet "Classic-Revisited" signed limited edition. Even if you’re one of the few who own the original you’ll want this expanded Gauntlet version.

The centerpiece of IMPACT 20 is the 20 short stories that comprised the collection (a mixture of sci fi, fantasy, crime and mainstream tales).

Those stories are:

  • The Small World of Lewis Stillman
  • The Beautiful Doll Caper
  • Into the Lion's Den
  • The Martians and the Leadfoot
  • The End of No Perhaps
  • The Amazon Kick
  • Full Quota
  • And Miles to Go Before I Sleep
  • The Public Loves a Johnny
  • Dutch
  • Of Time and Texas
  • Death Double
  • Dark Encounter
  • The Lap of the Primitive
  • Nobody, That's Who
  • The Darendinger Build-Up
  • Pigeon
  • The Joy of Living
  • One of Those Days
  • To Serve the Ship

For this edition ONLY: Nolan adds three previously unpublished stories written around the time the collection was first published. Nolan calls them “Early Impacts”. They are:

  • Incident at Clovis
  • Ask the Man Who Owns One
  • Some Time in Kansas City

Nolan has provided Gauntlet with his own cover art as well as a new afterword for this 50th Anniversary Signed Limited Edition.

Ray Bradbury wrote an introduction to IMPACT 20 when the book was first published. Gauntlet will include that original introduction, PLUS a newly penned afterword by Bradbury written expressly for this edition. Gary Braunbeck adds a wonderful preface. Nolan and Braunbeck sign ALL copies

Limited to 350 signed (by Nolan and Braunbeck) and numbered copies
