Paperback. First published in 1976, The Grain Kings is a science fiction novel by Keith Roberts, known for his rich world-building and thought-provoking narratives. The book explores a future where agriculture has become a highly sophisticated science, controlled by powerful elites who operate vast, automated grain-producing machines across the world's breadbaskets. These "Grain Kings" hold immense power, not only over food production but also over global politics and economics.Roberts weaves a compelling tale of ambition, control, and the intersection of technology and human will. The novel examines themes of ecological balance, corporate dominance, and the struggle of individuals against monolithic systems. With its mix of hard science fiction and social commentary, The Grain Kings remains an engaging and prescient exploration of mankind's dependence on technology for survival. A science fiction novel by the author of "The Inner World" and "The Furies." Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

© 1976: A collection of 7 short stories by Keith Roberts. 1st printing of 1977 edition. SFBC #1122:- Contents:- Weihnachtsabend / The White Boat / The Passing Of The Dragons / The Trustie Tree / The Lake Of Tuonela / The Grain Kings / I Lose Medea:- Synopsis: As an SF writer, Keith Roberts has long been as fascinated with the past as with the future. In his stories, several of which are printed in this new collection, he explores parallel worlds, where, but for a quirk of history, we might all be living today. The Grain Kings, the title story, charts the course of two massive and rival combine harvesters, whole eco-systems themselves, on a collision path in a vast sea of wheat. 'The White Boat' is a disturbing atmospheric story of a girl's awakening from a kind of Celtic twilight, and her abduction by Corsairs from the Continent. 'Weihnachtsabend' explores the eerie parallel world of a German England. There are also barge stories, dragon stories - and a few set on other planets. All testify to the tremendous range of Keith Roberts' imagination - and even more, to his evocative descriptive power:- (original cost unmarked).
