New Releases by David WINGROVE

"Imagine a collaboration between James Clavell and the late Frank Herbert . . . "--San Francisco Chronicle. Wingrove''s critically acclaimed saga of a future world ruled by the Chinese--called "superb gung-ho entertainment" by The Washington Post Book World--continues with this eagerly awaited installment.

Science fiction roman om Kina i slutningen af 2100-tallet

The stunning debut of a new storyteller takes place with a vast epic tale of passions and conflicts, of tyranny and the struggle for freedom in a startling and fascinating alternative world--a future when the Chinese rule the Earth.

The authors believe transitional science fiction writer and critic Brian Aldiss represents the evolutionary leap from the older pulp/adventure science fiction to the post new wave genre. They compare his work to that of the early mainstream literary modernists. While science fiction revives the modernist spirit and possesses its ranges, the authors maintain only Aldiss has taken advantage of that potential. His works embody both the potential and contradictions in new wave science fiction. Griffin and Wingrove emphasize the remarkable continuity of Aldiss''s work. Neither rebel against the science fiction tradition nor transgressor of literary values, Aldiss is, for the authors, a model of literary survival.
