Two very different flavors of vintage Science Fiction in one shelf-ready bundle: Larry Niven’s idea-packed story collection Limits paired with Greg Egan’s brainy, reality-bending Quarantine.
If you love classic “what if?” SF with big concepts and crisp pacing, this set delivers—one for short bursts, one for a deep dive.
Both are photo-verified editions with clean, readable interiors and great display presence (those covers do the work).
Ships fast and packed with care.
