Return to the magnificent world of the Bloody Sun in this exciting new, all-original anthology that explores one of the most fascinating facets of Darkover society -- The Towers. In these citadels, those gifted with laran-mind talents which enable them to communicate telepathically, to rule the elements, to control birds and beasts with their thoughts -- join together to work the laran matrices, sometimes for the good of all their world, sometimes in a struggle over power beyond any ordinary mortal's imagining. From an apparently laran-less youth who discovers that his wild talent just doesn't function on Darkover. to a "washerwoman" who "cleans up" people. to a murderer from whom no one in the Overworld is safe. here are twenty spellbinding stories of power and wonder.

The four who found themselves fused into a terrifying unity in that defiance were two men and two women. The men were Damon Ridenow, a Gomyn of the ruling caste, and Andrew Garr, the Earthman who had won for himself the right of clan-entry. The women were Ellemir, betrothed of Damon, and Callista, who foreswore her vows to seek the love of the alien from the stars. D A W Books, Incorporated, New York, New York, U.S.A., 1977. Soft Cover.

  • Discovering the Lost Race Story: Writing Science Fiction, Writing Temporality
    Discovering the Lost Race Story: Writing Science Fiction, Writing Temporality This thesis is presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of The University of Western Australia 2008 Karen Peta Hall Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Discipline of English and Cultural Studies School of Social and Cultural Studies ii Abstract Genres are constituted, implicitly and explicitly, through their construction of the past. Genres continually reconstitute themselves, as authors, producers and, most importantly, readers situate texts in relation to one another; each text implies a reader who will locate the text on a spectrum of previously developed generic characteristics. Though science fiction appears to be a genre concerned with the future, I argue that the persistent presence of lost race stories – where the contemporary world and groups of people thought to exist only in the past intersect – in science fiction demonstrates that the past is crucial in the operation of the genre. By tracing the origins and evolution of the lost race story from late nineteenth-century novels through the early twentieth-century American pulp science fiction magazines to novel-length narratives, and narrative series, at the end of the twentieth century, this thesis shows how the consistent presence, and varied uses, of lost race stories in science fiction complicates previous critical narratives of the history and definitions of science fiction. In examining the implicit and explicit aspects of temporality and genre, this thesis works through close readings of exemplar texts as well as historicist, structural and theoretically informed readings. It focuses particularly on women writers, thus extending previous accounts of women’s participation in science fiction and demonstrating that gender inflects constructions of authority, genre and temporality.

Calle Rocafort, 104 - 08015 Barcelona (España) © 1974 by Marión Zimmer Bradley © Traducción: Ediciones B, S.A. Printed in Spain ISBN: 84-406-0904-3 Depósito legal: Bi. 1.723-1989 Impreso por GRAFO, S.A. - Bilbao Diseño cubierta: Aurora RÍOS Ilustración: Juan Giménez PRESENTACIÓN La serie del planeta Darkover Se ha dicho que la larga serie de Darkover define la ciencia ficción de los años sesenta y setenta como la Fundación de Asimov había definido la de los años cuarenta y cincuenta. En realidad muestra de una .manera ejemplar cómo la ciencia ficción va dando cabida en su seno a nuevos relatos en los que dominan los temas de corte fantástico sin la voluntad racionalizadora y cientificista propia de la ciencia ficción clásica. En torno a Darkover existe en la actualidad un conjunto de una veintena de novelas y media docena de antologías cuyas narraciones transcurren en un planeta situado en los límites de un imperio galáctico dominado por la Tierra. Los habitantes de Darkover proceden en parte de los antiguos colonos terrestres y, en su mundo, la magia y la telepatía son elementos esenciales de una cultura anti-tecnológica que resiste con éxito los variados intentos de lograr su integración en una unión política y económica con el Imperio Terrano. La serie se inició en 1962 con THE PLANET SAVERS y THE SWORD OF THE ALDONES, que tienen forma de la más clásica space opera.

In deze era werd een strijd geleverd waarbij de verschillende partijen niet terugschrokken voor het inzetten van dodelijke kennis en magie, van duivels wapentuig en van hekserij. Maar dit is in de eerste plaats het verhaal van Bard di Asturien, de ambitieuze krijgsman die in ballingschap leeft, en dat van zijn tegenstrever, Varzil de Rechtvaardige, die zich inspant om het geheimzinnige Compact - wat dat ook precies mag inhouden - werkelijk- heid te doen worden Op dat moment beseft hij dat zij, Romilly, beschikt over de speciale laran-gave om paarden, haviken en honden haar wil op te leggen. Ook is zij in staat de gedachten van deze dieren te lezen. Deze ontdekking zorgt heel even voor afleiding van het feit haar broers, Darren en Ruyven, op weg zijn naar Havikswaard om het Midzomerfeest te vieren. Immers, toen Ruyven tegen de wil van zijn vader in naar de Toren van Tramontana vertrok om daar zijn laran te scherpen, werd hij door Dom Mikhail onterfd.
