38 reviewsPoul Anderson was one of the seminal figures of 20th century science
fiction. Named a Grand Master by the SFWA in 1997, he produced an
enormous body of stand-alone novels (Brain Wave, Tau Zero) and series fiction (Time Patrol,
the Dominic Flandry books) and was equally at home in the fields of
heroic fantasy and hard SF. He was a meticulous craftsman and a gifted
storyteller, and the impact of his finest work continues, undiminished,
to this day.
Here is a rousing, all-original anthology that
stands both as a significant achievement in its own right and a
heartfelt tribute to a remarkable writerand equally remarkable man. A
nicely balanced mixture of fiction and reminiscence, this volume
contains thirteen stories and novellas by some of today's finest
writers, along with moving reflections by, among others, Anderson's
wife, Karen, his daughter, Astrid Anderson Bear, and his son-in-law,
novelist and co-editor Greg Bear. (Bear's introduction, "My Friend
Poul," is particularly illuminating and insightful.)
The
fictional contributions comprise a kaleidoscopic array of imaginative
responses to Anderson's many and varied fictional worlds. A few of the
highlights include Nancy Kress's "Outmoded Things" and Terry Brooks'
"The Fey of Cloudmoor," stories inspired by the Hugo Award-winning "The
Queen of Air and Darkness"; a pair of truly wonderful Time Patrol
stories ("A Slip in Time" by S. M. Stirling and "Christmas in
Gondwanaland" by Robert Silverberg); Raymond E. Feist's Dominic Flandry
adventure, "A Candle"; and a pair of very different homages to the
classic fantasy novel, Three Hearts and Three Lions: "The Man Who
Came Late" by Harry Turtledove and "Three Lilies and Three Leopards
(And a Participation Ribbon in Science)" by Tad Williams. These stories,
together with singular contributions by such significant figures as
Larry Niven, Gregory Benford, and Eric Flint, add up to a memorable,
highly personal anthology that lives up to the standards set by the
late—and indisputably great—Poul Anderson.
