Signed by Ben Bova on the title page and signed by the cover artist. First Popular Library paperback edition. Scarcity note: Unsigned copies are common. Copies signed by Ben Bova are less common, and examples additionally signed by the cover artist are uncommon in the market. Forward in Time gathers eleven stories written between the early 1960s and early 1970s, reflecting Bova's interest in realistic spaceflight, orbital mechanics, political power, and the human cost of technological progress. Several stories originated in genre magazines and anthologies associated with the "hard SF" tradition, emphasizing plausible science and professional astronauts rather than far-future fantasy. Contextual or historical significance: Ben Bova was a central figure in late-twentieth-century American science fiction, serving as editor of Analog and Omni while shaping the genre's turn toward scientifically grounded storytelling. This collection reflects the period's Cold Warera concerns with space, surveillance, and authority. There is no major film adaptation associated with this work. Subjects: Space exploration, near-future technology, political power in fiction, human survival, Cold War science fiction, magazine-origin science fiction.

Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Near Fine. 1st Edition. Number line complete 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1. Signed by both authors in different weights of black felt-tip to verso of powder-blue FFE, lede author Launius signing as "Roger D.L." The 1986 Challenger disaster merits two paragraphs, reassuring readers that "following the Challenger accident . . . NASA made extensive landing safety improvements, including upgrades of the orbiter fleet's tires, brakes, and nose-wheel steering mechanism," all surely bound to eliminate deadly O-ring failures during vertical takeoff, causing the deaths of all on board. Launius was NASA's chief historian (let's rank him right up there with any French historian who can dismiss the Battle of Waterloo in two paragraphs, insisting it had the benefit of bringing about "much needed reforms to the design of French army wagon wheels" -- though he does acknowledge that Porky the Space Bus turned out to be vastly more expensive and less "reusable" than advertised), while Ulrich was curator of the NASA Art Program (and who'da guessed, once the moon was reached in 1969 and the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, that come 1998 the taxpayers would still be funding the "NASA Art Program"? Good thing such bizarre and endless spending hasn't caused any "inflation"!) Lots of colorful art, most technically proficient, some mawkish and hagiographic (as in, "Norman Rockwell.") 224 pp. including index. Reduced from $495. Signed by Author(s).
