The Fall of the Towers is a trilogy of science fantasy books by Samuel R. Delany.
First published in omnibus form in 1970,[1] the trilogy was originally published individually as Captives of the Flame (1963, rewritten as Out of the Dead City in 1968[2]), The Towers of Toron (1964), and City of a Thousand Suns (1965). The first two books were somewhat rewritten for the omnibus edition. Delany describes the extent of the rewriting in a final note in the one-volume text.
The stories of the Fall of the Towers trilogy were originally set in the same post-holocaust Earth as Delany's earlier The Jewels of Aptor; however, linking references were removed in later revised editions.[3]
