Terry Carr Bücher

In einer fernen Zukunft ist die Erde zu einem unbedeutenden Planeten geworden, von anderen in der Galaxie ignoriert. Ihr einziger Schatz ist Cirque - die Stadt am Abgrund, eine Stadt der Liebe und Harmonie, mit inspirierenden religiösen Riten. Doch im Abgrund lebt das Ungeheuer, entstanden aus den zurückgewiesenen Hassgefühlen der Cirquianer: ein Ungeheuer, dessen Körper aus Abfall besteht und dessen Geist so schwarz ist wie die Sünde. Schwache Waffen sind dem Ungeheuer nicht gewachsen. Und nun, nach Jahrhunderten, steigt es aus dem Abgrund empor, um sich das zu nehmen, was ihm zusteht...

Hrsg. v. Carr, Terry. Science Fiction Stories.

This collection of original science fiction stories includes works by Robert Silverberg, Damon Knight, Gregory Benford, Kim Stanley Robinson, and others

"The force of sexual attraction multiplied by mathematical calculation in Fritz Leiber's mind-tickling tale of an other-worldly world for lovers only. The force of the human will to win in Gene Wolfe's spellbinding and scary story of man vs. machine in a perversely rigged game of life and death. The force of the last vestigial glow of a slain civilization in Brain W. Aldiss poignant, indelibly moving portrayal of life on a nightmare future earth. The force of the unfettered imagination and unleashed narrative power of eight of the finest science fiction writers of today--in the eagerly awaited new collection in the most renowned science fiction anthology series of our time, Terry Carr's Universe 7."--Pg. [4] of cover.

This fourteenth annual "Best of the Year" collection includes John Varley's "Press Enter," Octavia E. Butler's "Bloodchild," Pamela Sargent's "Fears," Connie Willis's "Blue Moon," and Michael Swanwick's "Trojan Horse"
