Knight, Damon (ed.): Orbit 12. 31850
Berkley: NY. 1974.
First paperback edition.
Paperback original.
Twelfth volume in the original sf anthology series (21 volumes published 1966-1980).
''Orbit was a seminal US original anthology series edited by Damon Knight. Although it was not the first such series (having been preceded by Star SF Stories in the USA and New Writings In SF in the UK), it was it's extraordinary early success that precipitated the boom in such series in the early 1970s. It had a more literary orientation than the sf magazines, and perhaps for this reason was especially popular with the active members of the newly formed SF Writers Of America. For whatever cause, stories from Orbit dominated the Nebula awards in their early years, although none has ever won a Hugo. Three writers in particular became associated with Orbit, and remained its most regular contributors: R.A. Lafferty, Kate Wilhelm and Gene Wolfe; in the run of 21 volumes, Lafferty and Wilhelm had 19 stories each, and Wolfe 18. Orbit lost its dominance once the flood of competitors appeared, and with #14 had to change publishers (becoming confined to a hardcover edition in the process) in order to survive. Orbit was especially notable for stories that seemed at the time odd and sui generis, quite unlike the usual run of genre sf and fantasy, but with hindsight were early signs of a general sophistication of genre sf in the 1970s, in which this series played a vital role'' (Malcolm J. Edwards & David Pringle/Encyclopedia of SF).
