ROGUE MOON BY ALGIS BUDRYS PDF A Hugo Award Finalist: Humanity struggles to understand a killing labyrinth discovered on the Moon in this science fiction adventure about death and rebirth Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Robert Silverberg credits Rogue Moon with containing “the most terrifying pages in any SF novel I have ever read.” A monstrous apparatus has been found on the surface of the moon. It devours and destroys in ways so incomprehensible to humans that a new language has to be invented to describe it and a new kind of thinking to understand it. So far, the human guinea pigs sent there in hopes of unraveling the murderous maze have all died terrible deaths. The most recent volunteer survived but is now on suicide watch. The ideal candidate won’t go insane even as he feels the end approaching. Al Barker has already stared into the face of death; he can handle it again. But he won’t merely endure the trauma of dying. Barker will die over and over—even as his human qualities are preserved on Earth. With its cast of fascinating characters—like brilliant scientist Edward Hawks, who is obsessed with rebirth—Rogue Moon is a rare thriller that doesn’t just make you sweat. It makes you think. ● Sales Rank: #358579 in eBooks ● Published on: 2016-02-02 ● Released on: 2016-02-02 ● Format: Kindle eBook Review “A unique and breathtaking novel that simply has no equal, a true classic in every sense.” —SFBook Reviews “[Rogue Moon comes] very close to our ideal of the perfect science fiction novel.” —TheMagazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction “Often regarded with Bester’s The Demolished Man, Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 and Walter M.

Most helpful customer reviews 23 of 24 people found the following review helpful. First rate, thought provoking sci fi at its best! By A Customer The creation of human replicants allows for the study of a mysterious alien artifact on the moon. The humans and their alter ego replicants become one mentally, and both share the experience when one enters the artifact, in which all who enter ultimately die. The remaining human can then describe what the other saw and felt inside, allowing further study of the artifact. When the remaining humans are unable to communicate the information, due to insanity brought on by the memory experience of dying, a search begins for a man who can withstand the experience. That search brings together some fascinating characters, who find that facing the project is less difficult than facing their own demons, brought out fully during participation in the project. The character interactions and development are superb, and ultimately elevate this gripping story to the highest level. Fundamental human issues of life and death are explored effectively, as the characters struggle to define their lives in the face of an uncaring, unyielding and mysterious object. 15 of 16 people found the following review helpful. Sci-fi as a character study of men who live dangerously By Dave Deubler During science fiction's Golden Age, it was almost taken for granted that the characters of sci-fi were the same characters found in fantasy: consummate wizards who could solve any problem, helpless damsels in distress, and intrepid heroes who could slay the toughest dragon. True, the wizard wore a lab coat rather than a pointed hat, and the hero flew a rocket ship instead of riding a white horse, but at essence, they were the same types: flat, flawless, and wholly unbelievable. Budrys explodes the myth in this painfully honest look at what drives the kind of man who would risk his life, and the lives of others, in the name of Science. Dr Edward Hawks heads a project that, through the miracle of teleportation, puts men on the moon. He does this by transmitting taped copies of human beings across the void, where the men are then reconstructed alive from this data. Communication is handled by an inherent psychic link between the original and his copy. With unique insight, Budrys sees this journey as a one-way trip, since the men so sent are mere duplicates of their earth-side counterparts, with no lives of their very own to come back to. Thus Hawks' machine creates life, but it is life that has no real place in our world. While exploring the moon, these doomed men have found an inexplicable artifact. Attempts to enter this structure and learn its secrets have always resulted in the demise of the explorer. And staying in constant contact with "themselves" as they die again and again has taken a tragic toll upon even the hardened military men whose avatars are doing the investigating.

    An Appreciation of Lewis J. Grant, Jr. Lewis Grant was one of the very few people I have known who could rightly be called a “Renaissance Man,” intellectually if not physically. Wherever a conversation might turn — science and technology, science fiction, politics and public affairs — he would nearly always be well-informed and full of fascinating opinions. Those who came to know Lewie were usually surprised to discover that he did not have an advanced degree, or indeed any degree at all. That he was largely self-educated may even by why he never fell into the trap of becoming a narrow specialist. Nor was his encyclopedic knowledge merely a collection of miscellaneous tidbits: he had a very strong sense of the interrelatedness of everything, and could draw together facts from widely scattered fields and integrate them in surprising ways. It may have been his philosophic sense of the wholeness of knowledge and life that enabled him to cheerfully endure the physical defects that eventually took him from us. He always faced life with a smile and a joke — he was famous for atrocious puns at which we groaned more in envy than in pain. Lewie’s life was short, but he put more into it, of accomplishment, friendship, and human decency, than most of us put into twice the time. — George W. Price (Windycon is pleased and proud to present the Lewis J. Grant, Jr. Memorial Award, which carries a $50 cash prize, for the Best-in-Show artwork.) Welcome!

  • Shadow on the Stars by Robert Silverberg
    Introduction to Shadow on the Stars plus two sample chapters by Robert Silverberg SHADOW ON THE STARS Copyright © 1958, 1986 by Agberg, Ltd. ISBN 0-9671783-7-1 FoxAcre Press 401 Ethan Allen Avenue Takoma Park, Maryland 20912 www.foxacre.com SHADOW ON THE STARS Introduction Unless I have lost count, which is entirely possible, Shadow on the Stars was my sixth novel—which makes it a very early work even among my early work; because in the far-off days of the 1950’s I was writing a novel every few months, and I had a couple of dozen of the things on my record before I sprouted my first gray hair. Beyond any doubt my first book was the juvenile novel, Revolt on Alpha C, which I wrote in 1954 when I was still practically a juvenile myself. Then came another juvenile, Starman’s Quest, in 1956, and later that year my first os- tensibly adult novel, The Thirteenth Immortal and in early 1957 the quite respectable novel Master of Life and Death— which probably ought to be given another turn in print one of these days. A few months later I wrote Invaders from Earth, another early book that causes me no embarrass- ment today. That’s five, and so Shadow on the Stars, writ- ten in October of 1957, would be the sixth. Of course, there were also the two “Robert Randall” collaborations with Randall Garrett, The Shrouded Planet and The Dawning of Light, in 1955 and 1956, but those weren’t solo jobs. And there were a couple of items like the pseudonymous Lest We Forget Thee, O Earth (1957) and Invisible Barriers (1957) that were patched together out of previously published magazine pieces, but they weren’t originally conceived as full-length novels, and I don’t feel like counting them, and I hope you’ll be willing to ignore them too.
