Robert J. Sawyer

    29. April 1960

    Robert J. Sawyer zählt zu Kanadas bekanntesten und erfolgreichsten Science-Fiction-Autoren, der dafür gelobt wird, das zutiefst Menschliche mit dem kosmisch Großen zu verbinden. Seine prägnante Prosa, die oft mit der von Isaac Asimov verglichen wird, erforscht tiefgründige philosophische Fragen durch erfinderische Erzählungen. Sawyer nutzt das Genre, um sich mit den ethischen, gesellschaftlichen und rechtlichen Auswirkungen fortschrittlicher Technologie und alternativer Realitäten auseinanderzusetzen. Er selbst bevorzugt die Bezeichnung „philosophische Fiktion“ und konzentriert sich dabei auf tiefgründige Ideen, anstatt die Zukunft vorherzusagen.

    • Fossil Hunter is hard SF in the tradition of Larry Niven about a world inhabited by the Quintaglios, a dinosaurian species that has evolved a human level of intelligence and culture. Toroca, a Quintaglio geologist, is under attack for his controversial new theory of evolution. But the origins of his people turn out to be more complex than even he imagined, for he soon discovers the wreckage of an ancient starship -- a relic of the aliens who transplanted Earth's dinosaurs to this solar system. Now, Toroca must convince Emperor Dybo that evolution is true; otherwise, the territorial violence the Quintaglios inherited from their tyrannosaur ancestors will destroy the last survivors of Earth's prehistoric past.

      Fossil Hunter. The Quintaglio Ascension
    • In Far-Seer and Fossil Hunter, we met the Quintaglios, a race of intelligent dinosaurs from Earth and learned of the threat to their very existence. Now they must quickly advance from a culture equivalent to our Renaissance to the point where they can leave their planet. While the Quintaglios rush to develop space travel, the discovery of a second species of intelligent dinosaur rocks their most fundamental beliefs. Meanwhile, blind Afsan -- the dinosaurian Galileo -- undergoes the newfangled treatment of psychoanalysis, throwing everything he thought he knew about his violent people into a startling new light. At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.

      When a disabled spaceship enters Earth's atmosphere, seven members of the advanced Tosok race are welcomed by the world. Then a popular scientist is murdered, and all evidence points to one of the Tosoks. Now, an alien is tried in a court of law-and there may be far more at stake than accounting for one human life.
