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.

Sans lui, son père, que serait-elle devenue ? Il l''a élevée, lui a appris tout ce qu''il savait, lui a inculqué son insatiable curiosité, son amour des étoiles et du désert, sa passion pour la roche. Et puis il est mort, la laissant seule. Alors Anna, la jeune fille qui n''a connu que la brûlure du soleil, de la pierre et du sable, laisse tout derrière elle. Elle s''engage dans le mystérieux souterrain qu''elle et son père ont commencé à explorer au pied de la falaise. Et découvre l''inimaginable. En bas, au centre de la Terre, dans une caverne gigantesque, vit depuis des millénaires un peuple mystérieux, insoupçonné : le peuple D''ni, créateur de mondes, maître des secrets de l''univers. Là, au bord du grand lac diffuseur de lumière, la jeune fille, "l''intruse ", "l''étrangère ", va rencontrer son destin. Et trouver son véritable nom : Ti''ana.

Atrus, fils de Gehn, petit-fils d''Aitrus et de Ti''ana, n''a qu''un rêve : ressusciter D''ni dont l''histoire berça son enfance, la relever de ses ruines, effacer à jamais le souvenir du cataclysme qui anéantit la fabuleuse cité souterraine de ses ancêtres. Pour la repeupler, il lui faut rechercher à travers les Ages d''éventuels survivants de la Grande Peste. Atrus, sa compagne Catherine et leurs amis d''Averone s''en vont donc, grâce aux anciens livres D''ni, explorer les mondes lointains - mondes déserts, hostiles.

Mais cet Age possède une face cachée. Un envers diabolique. Et le rêve va se transformer en cauchemar. Pourtant, il était écrit qu''Atrus, héritier du Grand Monarque, viendrait, en messager de la plus glorieuse des civilisations, accomplir les anciennes prophéties...
