Author: Poul Anderson

Type: COLLECTION
Language: English
Synopsis: From the front flap of the Gregg Press edition: "The Queen of Air and Darkness contains six of Poul Anderson's most popular stories, including the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning title story, "The Queen of Air and Darkness" is a poetic tale of telepathic aliens whose defense against colonizing Earthmen is the creation of a realm of myth, illusion, suggestion, and psychic phenomenon. In "Home," a group of colonists are living happily with the natives of their world until they are unexpectedly called back. In "The Alien Enemy," a similar situation is occurring on the planet Sibylla, with very different results. "The Faun" is a delicate vignette of youth, poetry, and ecology. In "The Shadow," a hard science fiction story, deals with shadow matter and the ways in which normal matter can interact with it. In "Time Lag," a technological utopia and anti-utopia (population ratio 1:500) are locked in mortal combat. ... This first hardcover edition includes a new introduction by the author."
