Infinite Intruder - Nourse, Alan E.

. .

Résumé :
Infinite Intruder is a compact work of classic mid-century science fiction by Alan E. Nourse, built around menace, uncertainty, and the unsettling arrival of something beyond ordinary human experience. Nourse's fiction often joined clear scientific speculation with direct storytelling, and this tale belongs firmly to the magazine-era tradition of fast-moving speculative adventure: strange threat, rational investigation, and the pressure of discovery under dangerous conditions. For readers of Golden Age science fiction, vintage pulp science fiction, alien contact stories, space-age adventure, and early Cold War speculative fiction, Infinite Intruder offers the direct pleasures of the field at mid-century. Nourse writes with the efficiency of a trained science writer and the urgency of a storyteller shaped by the classic science fiction magazines, making this a strong fit for readers drawn to forgotten and rediscovered works from the formative decades of American science fiction.

Biographie:
Alan E. Nourse (1928-1992) was an American science fiction writer and physician whose work often joined speculative ideas with practical intelligence, social concern, and clear narrative momentum. He began publishing science fiction in the early 1950s and wrote novels, novellas, short stories, and nonfiction across subjects including medicine, space exploration, technology, bureaucracy, alien contact, social pressure, and institutional failure. His background as a physician gave some of his fiction a distinctive interest in the human consequences of scientific and technological systems.Nourse's books and stories include Star Surgeon, Trouble on Titan, The Bladerunner, A Man Obsessed, The Counterfeit Man, and many shorter works from the magazine era of science fiction.

Meeting of the Board shows his satirical side, using a transformed corporate structure to examine authority, labor, ownership, and the unease of those who discover that power can move in the opposite direction....
