O ovoj e-knjizi
The Geest gun — the Gunderland Battle trophy on the wall — attracts plotters and generates a plot. Like Rudyard Kipling's bejeweled elephant-goad in "The King's Ankus", the Geest gun stirs ambition in people. More than in the Kipling though, these seem competent, thoughtfully dangerous men.(Goodreads)
O autoru
James H. Schmitz (1911-1981) was an American science fiction writer renowned for his engaging storytelling and innovative ideas. Born in Hamburg, Germany, to American parents, Schmitz's early life was marked by a unique blend of cultures, which later influenced his richly detailed world-building. He moved to the United States in the 1930s, where he began his literary career.Schmitz is best known for his contributions to the science fiction genre during the mid-20th century, particularly through his serialized works in magazines like "Astounding Science Fiction" and "Galaxy Science Fiction." His stories often featured strong, intelligent female protagonists, a revolutionary concept at the time, which has since inspired countless contemporary writers. Characters like Telzey Amberdon and Trigger Argee broke the mold of traditional gender roles in science fiction, paving the way for more diverse and empowered characters in the genre.Schmitz's work is also notable for its intricate plots and the seamless blending of science fiction with elements of mystery and adventure. His "Federation of the Hub" series, in particular, showcased his ability to create complex, interstellar societies that captivated readers' imaginations.Despite his relatively low profile compared to some of his contemporaries, Schmitz's influence is evident in the works of modern science fiction authors who continue to explore themes of gender equality, complex character development, and expansive world-building. His legacy endures as a testament to his innovative spirit and his contributions to the evolution of science fiction literature.
