Beschreibung

The Leigh Brackett - Sci-Fi Boxed Set is a collection of some of the most unique and innovative science fiction works by the iconic writer. Brackett's literary style, known for its blend of classic space opera with a touch of noir and mystery, brings a fresh and captivating perspective to the genre. Set against the backdrop of the post-World War II era, Brackett's stories explore themes of adventure, exploration, and the complexities of human nature in the vast expanse of outer space. Readers will be drawn into a world of vivid imagery and thought-provoking ideas that challenge the boundaries of traditional science fiction narratives. Leigh Brackett, a pioneer in the field of science fiction writing, drew inspiration from her life experiences and the rapidly changing world around her to create the compelling stories found in this boxed set. As one of the few women writing in the male-dominated genre of science fiction during her time, Brackett's work stands out for its strong characters, intricate plots, and imaginative world-building. Her contributions to the genre have left a lasting impact on the science fiction community and continue to inspire writers to this day. This boxed set is highly recommended for fans of classic science fiction and those looking to explore the works of a trailblazing author in the genre. With its timeless themes and engaging storytelling, Leigh Brackett's collection is a must-read for anyone interested in the evolution of science fiction literature.

    Uller Uprising is the story of a confrontation between a human overlord and alien servants, with an ironic twist at the end. Like most of Piper's best work, Uller Uprising is modeled after an actual event in human history; in this case the Sepoy Mutiny (a Bengal uprising in British-held India brought about when rumors were spread to native soldiers that cartridges being issued by the British were coated with animal fat. The rebellion quickly spread throughout India and led to the massacre of the British Colony at Cawnpore.). Piper's novel is not a mere retelling of the Indian Mutiny, but rather an analysis of an historical event applied to a similar situation in the far future. (Summary from John F. Carr's introduction)

    A supernatural heist . . . 
    An attack to rock the supernatural world . . . 
    With two sacred stones at large, the world is inching toward chaos. 
    Closer to home, though, Luca needs our help. He’s on the brink of death, and the only way to save Luca is to venture to Hell. 
    I feel responsible for Luca’s illness, so I’m all in. The thing is, I’m pretty sure the leader of this mission has a dark secret. 
    Just like Tobias. The secret master himself. 
    One minute the handsome vampire is hot. The next he’s cold. Then hot again. 
    Personally, I’m feeling conflicted too. Not just about him, but many thing: the mission to hell, the recent coven heist and, most of all, what the heist revealed. 
    But all that drops away when a radical supernatural group attacks. It’s my cue to seek the sacred stones. The time to strike. 
    We cannot delay or the world might very well fall into madness.
