Alien Years SILVERBERG, ROBERT
United Kingdom HarperCollins Publishers 1999 0586211101 / 9780586211106
Good , 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall Seven years from now, the aliens land. Mountainous aliens in veils of light: they bring silence and death to the world. The legendary Robert Silverberg takes us beyond INDEPENDENCE DAY to explore the consequences of invasion from space ...Heedless of humanity's pain, the aliens -- the Entities -- establish themselves all over the world within days of arriving in countless ships. The first (accidental) incident of violence against them results in summary removal of all power sources. Some are restored, but resistance, later, brings down a plague that wipes out much of the world's population. Survivors are herded into detention centres and used as slave labour. Whatever is cherished by the people of Earth is dismantled by the Entities. Pride and freedom are qualities of the past. Even so, people resist their might, led in the US by the Carmichael family of military men, a family split within but united in the face of the great threat posed by the Entities. From their ranch high in the mountains, they search for the Prime, the centre of alien intelligence...into which they will hack, against which they will fight.
Meanwhile, in Prague, a quisling insinuates himself into the Entities' confidence. Conflict becomes internecine: nothing is sacred or safe. The Entities throughout maintain a distance from us, coldly disinterested. And fifty years after they arrived, they leave. Free once more, human nature faces a challenge equal to that posed by expulsion from Paradise: expulsion from Hell.

FAR HORIZONS (EDITOR), ROBERT SILVERBERG
ORBIT 1999 1857239431 / 9781857239430
Good , 8vo Far Horizons is the science fiction equivalent of Robert Silverberg's best-selling fantasy anthology Legends. In both books Silverberg invited some of the most renowned authors in the field to write a new story based on their most popular series or setting. For instance, the first story in Far Horizons is Ursula K. Le Guin's "Old Music and the Slave Women," which takes place in the same Hainish universe as her famous novels The Left Hand of Darkness and The Dispossessed. Dan Simmons has written a piece set in the world of Hyperion, Anne McCaffrey has turned in a Helva story from the world of The Ship Who Sang, and so on. Like Legends, the list of writers in Far Horizons reads like a Who's Who of the genre: Le Guin, Joe Haldeman, Orson Scott Card, David Brin, Simmons, Nancy Kress, Frederik Pohl, Gregory Benford, McCaffrey and Greg Bear, as well as Silverberg himself. And like Legends, each author takes a page or two to introduce their story, so that newcomers won't be totally lost. The average story in Far Horizons is, as you might expect, a significant cut above the average SF story, although this anthology is not quite as successful as its predecessor. Authors like Le Guin and Simmons have come up with some first-rate stuff, but Card and McCaffrey have produced stories that can best be described as mediocre.Overall, though, the book has far more ups than downs, and serious readers won't want to miss this one. Those new to the world of SF will also find Far Horizons an invaluable reference when they're looking for good authors to read. --Craig E. Engler, Amazon.com --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Majipoor Chronicles SILVERBERG, ROBERT
Pan Books 1983 0330281178 / 9780330281171
Fair , 12mo The vast populous world of Majipoor with its strange political hierarchies and myriad alien races is one of the more impressive creations of planetary romance; Robert Silverberg brings to its exoticism his sensitive and evocative prose and his sense of story as an end in itself. The Majippor Chronicles is a collection of linked shorts, in which the boy Hissune, a minor character in Lord Valentine's Castle, rummages in archives of recorded memories and acquires an education in the ways of this particular world. A self-willed woman becomes a recluse and befriends a crippled lizard-man; a great navigator discovers the price of crossing a great ocean; a murderer is pursued by dreams and his own demons; a defrauded young woman discovers the rich ironies possible in a complicated civilisation; two brothers receive an ambiguous prophecy that we know will come true. Individually, these are powerful moody stories, full of memorable people whom we come to know intensely even in a few pages, but together they help amplify our sense of the vast reach of Majipoor in history and geography--and the education of Hissune becomes more than a framing narrative, it becomes another tale of Majipoor in its own right. --Roz Kaveney --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
