Title: Five Fates Title Record # 34316
Editor: uncredited
Date: 1970-08-00
Variant Title of: Five Fates (by Keith Laumer) [may list more publications, awards, reviews, votes and covers]
Type: ANTHOLOGY
Language: English
Note: This anthology has an uncredited prologue where a man is apparently being put to death at an Euthanasia Center. It is then followed by five stories, by five separate authors, that pick up the story at this point. Hence, Five Fates. It is likely that Keith Laumer created the concept and wrote the prologue. The evidence for this is
  • The cover and title page of the Warner Paperback Library edition (2nd printing) lists Laumer;s name first even though his is the last story. The author order is "Five Fates / by / Keith Laumer / Poul Anderson / Frank Herbert / Gordon Dickson / Harlan Ellison".
  • The copyright page of the Warner Paperback Library edition (2nd printing) has "Copyright © 1970 by Keith Laumer".
  • OCLC 92450 solely credits Keith Laumer.
