Although largely, and unjustly, neglected by a modern audience, Bayley was a hugely influential figure to some of the greats of British SF, such as Michael Moorcock and M. John Harrison. He is perhaps best-known for THE FALL OF CHRONOPOLIS, which is collected in this omnibus, alongside THE SOUL OF THE ROBOT and the extraordinary story collection THE KNIGHTS OF THE LIMITS. 
THE FALL OF CHRONOPOLIS: The mighty ships of the Third Time Fleet relentlessly patrolled the Chronotic Empire's 1,000-year frontier, blotting out an error of history here or there before swooping back to challenge other time-travelling civilisations far into the future. Captain Mond Aton had been proud to serve in such a fleet. But now, falsely convicted of cowardice and dereliction of duty, he has been given the cruellest of sentences: to be sent unprotected into time as a lone messenger between the cruising timeships. After such an inconceivable experience in the endless voids there is only one option left to him. To be allowed to die.
THE SOUL OF THE ROBOT: Jasperodus, a robot, sets out to prove he is the equal of any human being. His furturistic adventures as warrior, tyrant, renegade and statesman eventually lead him back home to the two human beings who created him. Question: Does he have a soul?
THE KNIGHTS OF THE LIMITS: Nine brilliant stories of infinite space and alien consciousness, suffused with a sense of wonder...

"Barrington J. Bayley, whom Michael Moorcock has called 'the most original SF writer of his generation,' is the author of such well-nown novels as 'The Garments of Caean' and 'The Soul of the Robot.' Now he has written a visionary adventure novel that places him in the front rank of SF innovators. It is a future so distant that our own era is lost in the archeological past. Robot evolution has advanced to the point that intelligent robots have liberated themselves against the humans who work to exterminate them using super-machines........."

Garments of Caean

The garments of Caean are forbidden in the Ziode Cluster, their qualities little understood. So when Peder Forbath finds the legendary Frachonard suit on a wrecked Caeanic Freighter, he immediately tries it on. To his delight, he finds that the garment endows him with undreamed of powers. But is Peder wearing the suit--or is the suit wearing him?
