Acerca de este libro electrónico

Excerpt: " In 1930, it was Wobblies. In 1957, it was fellow-travelers. In 1971, it was insane telepaths. And, in 1973: "We don't know what it is," said Andrew J. Burris, Director of the FBI. He threw his hands in the air and looked baffled and confused."

Acerca del autor

Randall Garrett, born December 16, 1927, was a prolific American science fiction and fantasy author whose imaginative storytelling left an indelible mark on the genre. A master of the short story, Garrett's works often appeared in prominent pulp magazines of the mid-20th century, including "Astounding Science Fiction" and "Analog Science Fiction and Fact." His most celebrated creation, the "Lord Darcy" series, ingeniously blends alternate history with detective fiction, envisioning a world where magic and science coexist.Garrett's career was not without controversy. Known for his sharp wit and sometimes abrasive personality, he was a polarizing figure in the science fiction community. His outspoken views on politics and society often sparked heated debates, yet his ability to challenge conventional thinking endeared him to a generation of readers and writers seeking fresh perspectives.Garrett's influence on contemporary writers is profound. His innovative approach to genre-blending and world-building paved the way for authors like Neil Gaiman and George R.R. Martin. Moreover, his advocacy for the integration of scientific principles into storytelling inspired a more rigorous and imaginative approach to science fiction.Despite health challenges later in life, including a debilitating stroke, Garrett's legacy endures through his extensive body of work. His stories continue to captivate modern readers, offering a glimpse into the boundless possibilities of speculative fiction. Randall Garrett remains a towering figure whose contributions have shaped the landscape of modern science fiction and fantasy.
