The Outer Limits, Volume 2

The Outer Limits anthologies #2

by Diane Duane (Contributor)

Kniha se skládá ze čtyř žánrově velmi rozmanitých povídek. První z nich je dalším příspěvkem k druhu, k jehož označení by bylo možno použít názvu klasického díla H. G. Wellse „Válka světů“: Obyvatelé Země se s pomocí vesmírných lodí brání stále častějším případům napadení bytostmi odkudsi z vesmíru. (Podle této povídky byl natočen jeden díl proslulého seriálu Star Trek.) Nechte se překvapit náměty dalších tří povídek.

Genres: Science Fiction

Paperback

First published January 1, 1998

About the author

Diane Duane has been a writer of science fiction, fantasy, TV and film for nearly fifty years.

Besides the 1980's creation of the Young Wizards fantasy series for which she's best known, the "Middle Kingdoms" epic fantasy series, and numerous stand-alone fantasy or science fiction novels, her career has included extensive work in the Star Trek TM universe, and many scripts for live-action and animated TV series on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as work in comics and computer games. She has spent a fair amount of time on the New York Times Bestseller List, and has picked up various awards and award nominations here and there.

She lives in Ireland's County Wicklow, in the house she long shared with her much-missed husband of forty years, the screenwriter and novelist Peter Morwood.

Her favorite color is blue, her favorite food is a weird kind of Swiss scrambled-potato dish called maluns, she was born in a Year of the Dragon, and her sign is "Runway 24 Left, Hold For Clearance."
