Shadows of the New Sun

Shadows of the New Sun

by Bill Fawcett (Author)

Synopsis

Perhaps no living author of imaginative fiction has earned the awards, accolades, respect, and literary reputation of Gene Wolfe. His prose has been called subtle and brilliant, inspiring not just lovers of fantasy and science fiction, but readers of every stripe, transcending genre and defying preconceptions. In this volume, a select group of Wolfe's fellow authors pay tribute to the award-winning creator of The Book of the New Sun, The Fifth Head of Cerberus, Soldier of the Mist, The Wizard Knight and many others, with entirely new stories written specifically to honour the writer hailed by The Washington Post as one of America's finest. Shadows of the New Sun features contributions by a host of authors, including Neil Gaiman, David Brin, David Drake, and Nancy Kress, plus two new short stories by Gene Wolfe himself.
