No current Talk conversations about this book. What can I say? Ms. Cherryh has again created an interesting world and characters. I read it years ago, maybe when it was first published and enjoyed it then. As a reread in which I could not recall the plot at all (it had been that long), it was just as enjoyable, if not more. If you've not yet read anything by CJ Cherryh, I highly recommend any of her books, but especially those I have already read, see my library for details. ( ) THE GOBLIN MIRROR. Fantasy set in an environment cognate with Cherryh's successful Rusalka trilogy (most recently Yvgenie, 1991) where magic works, ghosts and goblins are real, and everyone who matters is noble or wizardly or, preferably, both. Accompanying the wizard Karoly to investigate some threateningly magical goings-on are the princes Bogdan and Tamas, with too-young Yuri chasing behind after Tamas's runaway dog. Soon the party is ambushed by goblins; Bogdan is killed, Karoly vanishes, and the injured Tamas finds himself accompanied by a horrid-looking but helpful troll and by Ela, a willful and vengeful young witch who possesses a shard of the evil goblin queen's mirror and plans to destroy her with it. Complicating the picture are some noble goblins; led by Azdra'ik, who spares Tamas's life, they claim to be rebels against the queen and, thus, possible allies. Turns out that the mirror is an ancient magical device conjured by the goblin queen as part of an evil bargain with Karoly's sister; Ela and Tamas (he turns out to be a powerful wizard) somehow must wrest control of the mirror away from their foe. Above average; readers who enjoyed Cherryh's previous fantasies will certainly enjoy this. But, for all that, the construction bears signs of haste, the ideas aren't fully thought through; and the texture tends toward the lumpy: Cherryh clearly stands in danger of overextending her considerable talents.

  • Carol Janice Cherryh – Biografie
    Carol Janice Cherryh – biografie Vydáno dne 13. 11. 2005 První dáma science fiction, tak je někdy označována jedna z nejvýznamnějších spisovatelek žánru SF C. J. Cherryh. Prvního září 2004 oslavila již své dvaašedesáté narozeniny. Pojďme se podívat, jak se vyvíjela její spisovatelská dráha, co vlastně chce svým čtenářům říci, které nádherné kousky si můžete přečíst v češtině. Když Thiye vládl Hjemuru Cizinců houf jel krajem tím Tři byli tmaví, jeden byl zlatý Mrazivá běl šla s posledním Ve vlasech sníh, sám osud ji hnal, Proklet buď, kdo by jí věřil! Dnes mužů je málo jen a vlků víc Večer už v noc se šeří Mládí Carolyn se narodila 1. září 1942 v Saint Louis, stát Missouri. Přesto si vybudovala vztah k Baltimoru, ve kterém během války žili a pracovali její rodiče. Matka byla sekretářkou na úřadě pro rytectví a tisk. Brzy se však přestěhovali do St. Louis, kde se jim zanedlouho narodila Carolyn Janice Cherry. Válka skončila a rodiče se rozhodli, že obnoví přátelské styky s rodinou v Oklahomě. Tam také „sídžej“ vyrostla a navštěvovala povinnou školní docházku. V rozhovorech uvádí, že psát začala už v deseti letech a ve čtrnácti zažila první nepříjemný pocit odmítnutí její práce. Ráda také chodila do knihkupectví a dívala se zejména po fantastických románech. V té době si udělala průzkum o vydavatelích a prodávaných autorech, jejich stylu. Vzala jsem do rukou jeden z příběhů Fritze Leibera a podrobně ho prostudovala. (Brána vyhnanství, str. 412). První titul, bakaláře svobodných umění v oboru latina, získala na University of Oklahoma. Nástup na „skutečnou“ vysokou byl malým zázrakem, nebo? C.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Alien Stars by C.J. Cherryh Alien Stars by C.J. Cherryh. Tc'a are yellow, leathery, and snakelike in appearance, and are most well known for having multiple brains. They also have some sort of symbiotic relationship with one of the Compact's other methane-breathing species, the spiderlike Chi, whose homeworld lies within Tc'a space. What exactly this relationship entails is unknown. Their means of reproduction are rather peculiar. Tc'a fission off a small, new Tc'a when placed under extreme stress. This has been observed in a moment when a Tc'a's life was in danger. It's not known what level of stress or danger is needed to trigger this reaction. Culture and society [ edit | edit source ] Tc'a speech sounds like layered multitonal wails. Single-brained species (like humans) almost always need technological assistance to communicate with them, and even then, messages read out as a seven-part matrix that can be interpreted in any direction. Another Compact member-species, the oxy-breathing Stsho, appear to be able to communicate more directly. Tc'a are the most interactive of the Compact's methane breathers, and almost exclusively handle methane-side operations at Meetpoint Station, the physical center (and trade zone) of the Compact. Tc'a are the only ones able to communicate meaningfully (if there is such a concept) with the mysterious Knnn. Alien Stars by C J Cherryh. Spine creases, wear to binding and pages from reading.
