Aliens (human, but from elsewhere) are stranded on Earth - their lifeboat self-destructs and they have to adapt to life here. But there's an extra threat - extra-dimensional aliens who take over and use human bodies. Is there one among them? Are there some on Earth? How can they tell, and how deal with it? The least believable part of the story is how willing authorities are to believe the whole thing... though I suppose someone shooting a ray-gun is a big assist towards belief. It's very much a relationships story - the whole spaceships and ray-guns structure is only the backdrop. Friends, and enemies, and love, and hate...that's the important part of the story. Oh, and telepathy, and empathy. Which complicates the relationships, when it doesn't simplify them. Odd and interesting little book. ( ) A quick, light read - there's a fiery crash in the night - 7 survivors, one badly injured. During the night the man dies - but the baby is born. Can these 7 from the stars, survive, hide what they are, and find a way to get home from an interdicted planet when their world believes they are all dead? Should they make contact with the locals? And if so, what kind of story should they use? Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Marion Zimmer was born in Albany, NY, on June 3, 1930, and married Robert Alden Bradley in 1949. Mrs. Bradley received her B.A. in 1964 from Hardin Simmons University in Abilene, Texas, then did graduate work at the University of California, Berkeley, from 1965-67. She was a science fiction/fantasy fan from her middle teens, and made her first sale as an adjunct to an amateur fiction contest in Fantastic/Amazing Stories in 1949. She had written as long as she could remember, but wrote only for school magazines and fanzines until 1952, when she sold her first professional short story to Vortex Science Fiction. She wrote everything from science fiction to Gothics, but is probably best known for her Darkover novels. In addition to her novels, Mrs. Bradley edited many magazines, amateur and professional, including Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine, which she started in 1988. She also edited an annual anthology called Sword and Sorceress for DAW Books. Over the years she turned more to fantasy; The House Between the Worlds, although a selection of the Science Fiction Book Club, was "fantasy undiluted". She wrote a novel of the women in the Arthurian legends -- Morgan Le Fay, the Lady of the Lake, and others -- entitled Mists of Avalon, which made the NY Times best seller list both in hardcover and trade paperback, and she also wrote The Firebrand, a novel about the women of the Trojan War. Her historical fantasy novels, The Forest House, Lady of Avalon, Mists of Avalon are prequels to Priestess of Avalon She died in Berkeley, California on September 25, 1999, four days after suffering a major heart attack. She was survived by her brother, Leslie Zimmer; her sons, David Bradley and Patrick Breen; her daughter, Moira Stern; and her grandchildren. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden.
