Renowned as a writer of classic adventure stories such as The Call of the Wild and White Fang Jack London also had a parallel career as a writer of science fiction and fantasy. In Leonaur's three volume The Collected Science Fiction & Fantasy of Jack London his SF and fantasy novels and shorter works are brought together for the first time. Darrell Standing is a university professor and convicted murderer. He's also The Star Rover. During long spells in solitary confinement his body immobilised by a canvas jacket that prevents all movement he develops a technique that allows his non-corporeal self to wander through time and home in on lives that were his before he was Darrell Standing. His adventures - engaging vivid and exciting - offer an eye-witness perspective on a past that might have been. This volume also includes three entertaining shorter works that show Jack London as a more than worthy contemporary of H. G. Wells.
