A Science Fiction Miscellany: 1 Book, 50 Authors

Exactly what the title says - 1 book by each of 50 authors noted for writing Science Fiction. I have tried to avoid a "greatest hits" vibe to these selections. Some of these authors are not that well known, and some of the book selections are not the best known of that particular author's work ( although , in a few cases they are. Like "Dune".). My aim was to come up with 50 books that aren't on every list.
