Sci-Fi Chronicles: a visual history of the galaxy's greatest science fiction.
Aurum Press. 2014
From Frankenstein to Avatar, this comprehensive guide to science fiction combines expert commentary, stunning archive imagery, and colour-coded infographic timelines to explore the complex real-world (and in-world) development of over two hundred essential sci-fi characters, creators, series and mythologies.
Seminal, genre-defining sagas, like Star Wars and Dune, are accompanied by fascinating chronologies of their fictional universes. And landmark franchises — such as Doctor Who and Star Trek — are illustrated with lavish photo-spreads, revealing their myriad expressions across books, cinema, television, comics and beyond.
International in scope and encyclopedic in scale, Sic-Fi Chronicles is an essential work for any true science fiction fan.
