| | | Together in one volume--three novels from the classic Demon Princes series. The Demon Princes are a race of beings who disguise themselves as humans and delight in power and destruction. The affairs of mere mortals mean little to them and their actions spell doom for millions. Keith Gersen is not a Demon Prince, but he's got a stake in finding five of them--the five who massacred his family and obliterated his planet.
Annotation:
Kerth Gerson sets out to avenge the murders of his family members and the demolition of his planet by slaying those responsible--the Demon Princes, a race of destruction-loving beings who pose as humans to wreak havoc where they wish.

| Author Bio| Jack Vance | | American science fiction and fantasy author Jack Vance has won nearly every award possible for a writer in his genre--from the Nebula to the Edgar, the Hugo to the World Fantasy Award; the Science Fiction Writers of America have named him a Grand Master. Vance's career has spanned over six decades, and as such his writings are perhaps more varied than many authors laden with the SF/Fantasy label. The New York Times as called him "one of American literature's most distinctive and undervalued voices," and his fans are vigorous in their praises. | |Jack Vance was born in 1928 in San Francisco, but after his parents divorced, his mother relocated with her children to a more rural area along the Sacramento River. Vance attended the University of California, Berkeley. He took six years to complete a degree, bouncing between studies in English, physics, and engineering. After fudging an eye exam, Vance served in the Merchant Marines during World War II, but weak eyesight has plagued him throughout his life, and he was diagnosed as legally blind in 1980. Vance has lived for years with his family in Oakland, California. |
