SF Masterworks Series of Classic Science Fiction Novels

SF Masterworks is a series of science fiction books published by Victor Gollancz Ltd (an imprint of the UK based Orion Publishing Group).
The series began in 1999 and comprises selected pieces of science-fiction literature from 1950 onwards, with a few notable exceptions. The list was compiled by the managing director of Orion Books, Malcolm Edwards, with the help of "leading SF writers and editors" and the goal of bringing important books back into print. The list was described by science fiction author Iain M. Banks as "amazing" and "genuinely the best novels from sixty years of SF."
Gollancz officially relaunched the series in March 2010.
