The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume Two

The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Volume Two: The Greatest Science Fiction Novellas of All Time (1973) is an anthology edited by Ben Bova. It honors works published prior to the institution of the Nebula Awards in 1965. Twenty-two novellas, first published between 1895 and 1961, were selected by the Science Fiction Writers of America as part of the same voting process that established the contents of The Science Fiction Hall of Fame Volume One, 1929-1964, a collection of the best-regarded short stories.

Theodore Sturgeon receiveded the anthology favorably, praising the publishing decision to issue it in two volumes rather than scale back the contents.[1]
