Nova 1 is the first in a series of anthologies of original science fiction stories edited by American writer Harry Harrison, published by Delacorte Press in 1970. A Science Fiction Book Club edition was issued later that year, with a Dell paperback reprint following in 1971. A British paperback appeared in 1975, with an abridged British hardcover following in 1976.[1] Nova 1 placed 15th in the 1971 Locus Poll in the Anthologies/Collections category.[2]

Contents

All stories were original to the anthology except "And This Did Dante Do", originally published as "Dusk in the Electric Cities, And This Did Dante Do" in Florida Quarterly in 1967, and "Swastika!", originally published in Aldiss's Moment of Eclipse in 1970. "The Big Connection" appeared under the "Robin Scott" byline. "In The Pocket" appeared under Malzberg's "K. M. O'Donnell" pseudonym.[3][4]

"Jean Duprès" was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Short Story.[5]

Reception

James Blish reviewed the anthology favorably, saying "almost everything in the book is good; to my judgment, the standard is higher than it has been in any of the Orbit anthologies to date, and it's substantially longer, too."[6]
