5.0 out of 5 stars
Fascinating evocative stories from a bygone era,
By
This review is from: Sea Kings of Mars and Otherwordly Stories (Fantasy Masterworks) (Paperback)
leigh Brackett is one of a kind writer. Her melancholic Mars and luscious Venus are magnificent examples of science fiction worldbuilding, very original and with a sense of wonder and exotic mystery at par with E.R. Burroughs and Jack vance. Who cares if her Mercury, Mars, Venus, are not asthose we now know? Read her tales as alternare Reality, even as she makes the entire solar system improbably inhabited by humanoids. IMO the best story is "The Sword of Rhiannon", when the protagonist plunges from modern drying Mars to the martian oceans of the past, a past far from idyllic, where he shall confront a Martian Oromethean figure.
A must read for the lovers of Golden age science fiction! |
