Produktbeschreibung

Guilt is in the eye of the beholder in this futuristic crime story from the Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author of Lord Valentine's Castle. A lot of women were wearing Marianne's face that season, which made it hard for Loren Frazier to forget that he killed his world-famous wife's lover. The world wouldn't forget it either; the image of his murderous impulse was caught forever in his victim's brain-an eyeflash picture readily recovered by law enforcement. But a man of Frazier's money and power has options: aliases, overseas accounts, the ability to change his appearance. Heartbreak and regret are his constant companions through the continents and the years-until he can truly see what he has become... Praise for Robert Silverberg and his short stories "When Silverberg is at the top of his form, no one is better." -George R.R. Martin, #1 New York Times-bestselling author "Silverberg's creative story premises are matched by a remarkable ability to make his characters sympathetic, whether human or not." - Publishers Weekly(starred review) "The short stories in Robert Silverberg's First-Person Singularitiesare inventive, sublime, and endlessly entertaining." - Foreword Reviews "Decades after being originally published, most of these stories are still just as entertaining and powerful as they were when first released. A singularly unique collection." - Kirkus Reviews

Autorenporträt

Robert Silverberg (b. 1935) sold his first science fiction stories to the lower-grade pulps in the mid-fifties, moved swiftly to the three prestigious magazines ( Astounding, Galaxyand The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction) and as his style deepened and themes expanded in through the next reached the first rank of science fiction writers. He is regarded as the greatest living writer of science fiction, an SFWA Grandmaster, ex-President (in the 1960's) of that organization, winner of five Nebulas, four Hugos and many other domestic and foreign awards. Among his famous novels are Dying Inside, The Book of Skulls, Downward to the Earth, A Time of Changes; his novella Born with the Dead(1974) is perhaps the finest work of that length published within the genre. Shifting to a predominating fantasy in the late 1970's ( Lord Valentine's Castleand the attendant Majipoor Series), Silverberg continued to write science fiction and won a Nebula in 1986 for the novella Sailing to Byzantium, and Hugos for the novelettes Gilgamesh in the Outbackand Enter a Soldier: Later, Enter Another. He was editor of the long-running original anthology series New Dimensions and of important reprint anthologies such as The Science Fiction Hall of Fame, Alpha, and The Arbor House Treasury of Modern Science Fiction.
