Vector 84 Review Index THE VECTOR REVIEW INDEX I’m sitting here typing this by torchlight in the midst of yet another power-cut, And what is this? As the title reads, it is a listing by author of the books reviewed in the pages of VECTOR and NEXUS over the last few years, I’ve begun with Issue 59, the first Malcolm Edwards issue, somewhat like my own first issue, scrambled together from my own fanzine with a respectable icing ofl more usual VECTOR fare, VECTOR 69 was the first Chris Fowler issue, and I follow the process through to include his penultimate issue, number 82, together with the three issues of NEXUS, the ’’Vector Review Supplement”, he produced. Strangely (perversely?) I enjoyed putting this together, and hope to keep on updating it (whether as editor of VECTOR or not) with some regularity. Hopefully the Committee will allow that much before they lock me away anfl throw away the key. It is also hoped to extend the range of this index and to include, eventually, all the issues of VECTOR. My own readership of the zine began with Issue 72? not so long ago. I hear tell that Mike Moorcock even produced an issue. Perhaps one of these days I’ll sit down and write a small article on the development of the zine. You never know, there might even be some material worthy of reprinting back in those pre-59 issues thatvremain unknown, at present, to me. Perhaps you’ll be asking yourself why I am not also covering the articles, films and interviews in this index. Hopefully those will be placed on a separate sheet (i’ll admit the reasoning is purely economical) to tempt you to invest in back-numbers. And in any case it makes this ^zhing so much more complex. This is nice and simple? hopefully easy to refer to, I’m also hoping that we can use this index as part of our information service. If you want a copy of a certain review for any reason you can contact whoever will be handling tho service and he can send back photocopies of the piece (possibly at a small charge). But that's for the future. Hopefully this will bo of some small help to you all now. Whilst I was mid-way through tho last paragraph the lights popped back on again. It’s too late to go to German evening classes now (especially with an empty stomach) so I may as well press on with the typing.

  • {PDF EPUB} the Mountains of Majipoor by Robert Silverberg the Mountains of Majipoor
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Mountains of Majipoor by Robert Silverberg The Mountains of Majipoor. For young Prince Harpirias, the journey into the frozen tundra beyond Majipoor might well be a death sentence. But it's also the only way out of a petty bureaucrat's job in a provincial city. His mission is to rescue a lost party of paleontologists searching for the fossils of a fabled species of land-dwelling dragons. Setting out with a small band of soldiers and a wily Shapeshifter, who acts as both guide and interpreter, Harpirias will endure blinding blizzards, slashing ice storms, physical privation, and the attack of strange beasts. But the worst is yet to come. For when they finally reach their destination, they come face-to-face with a shockingly barbaric culture ruled by a dangerous chieftain. One mistake, one minor violation of a custom or a taboo, and the prince and his companions will face instant death—or endless captivity. Comments: The fourth book written in the Majipoor series. It's set 500 years after the time of Valentine. A young man of noble blood is sent on a difficult mission to the far north reaches of Majipoor to negotiate with a previously unknown primitive tribe. It's full of the Big Planet wonder of this great setting: strange peoples, cultures, and beasts, all colorfully and lovingly portrayed. Quite enjoyable, though it seems too short, lacking the epic scope of the Valentine books. That's not really a criticism, more an observation. No disappointments here.
