Leigh Brackett Collection - EPUB MOBI

If you're looking for a complete collection of the science fiction of Leigh Brackett, "the queen of the space opera," you've found it, along with most of her crime fiction.

This listing is adapted from the Internet Speculative Fiction Database at isfdb.org. Foreign language listings have been deleted. The sections in ISFDB for Omnibus editions and Essays have been omitted. The material by Brackett included in the omnibus books appears in other forms in this collection.

While the collection includes all of Brackett's science fiction, I was not able to locate two Western novels, two crime novels, and one short story which does not appear to be science fiction.

Leigh Brackett is well known for having written a screenplay for Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. George Lucas disliked the screenplay and wrote two versions of a screenplay. Then he turned it over to Lawrence Kasdan for the final version. While Brackett and Kasdan got credited as screenwriters, no legally published edition of Brackett's screenplay exists. There is one copy in the Jack Williamson Special Collection at Eastern New Mexico University and another copy in the archives of Lucasfilm Ltd.

Titles appearing as separate entities in this collection are listed in bold. Titles included in collections are listed in regular type. Items I could not find are also in regular type with the notation "(not found)."
