Описание: Millions of C. J. Cherryh fans should be preparing thank-you letters
to DAW for having the insight to collect into one volume Cherryh's short
stories, novellas, and novelettes. Included in the collection are the
Hugo Award–winning "Cassandra" and classics like "The Unshadowed Land"
and "Mech," as well as a never-before-published Sunfall story!
"Masks," the new Sunfall tale, takes place in a quixotic Venice of the
far future -- a "city at war between sea and land, a city that has found
a unique way to be modern, and still to remain so perfectly ancient."
Forced into a marriage by her materialistic grandmother, young Giacinta
vows to follow her heart, even if it means dishonor and almost certain
death. In "Companions," Paul Warren is the last explorer left alive
on an idyllic planet after a mysterious plague kills the rest of his
team. Left alone with just the ship's artificial intelligence, he searches
the lush planet for another sentient form of life -- and finds it in
the unlikeliest of places. In 1977's "The Dark King," Death gets outsmarted
by King Sisyphos in Corinth when the dark twin of Sleep comes for the
king's soul.
Admirers of Cherryh's internationally renowned novels -- Downbelow Station,
the Faded Sun trilogy (Kesrith, Shon'jir, Kutath), the epic Foreigner
sequence, et al. -- need to read this masterful collection of her short
works. Highly intelligent and inexhaustibly imaginative, this versatile
collection should be cherished for decades to come. Much more than entertainment,
The Collected Short Fiction of C. J. Cherryh is literary history
unearthed.
This collection is divided into three sections: Sunfall (stories from Cherryh's Sunfall collection plus a new story, "MasKs"), Visible Light (stories from Cherryh's Visible Light collection) and Other Stories (stories from other collections and magazines). The story titles, showing where and when they were originally published, follow.
