The Warlock Wandering - Stasheff, Christopher

. .

Résumé :
LOST IN TIME, FAR FROM HOME, SURROUNDED BY ENEMIES Five hundred years from their own time and place on the magical planet Gramarye, Rod and Gwen Gallowglass are held captive on another planet at the edge of Terran civilization -- a world where purple-skinned, fur-kilted men challenge them in primitive battle. But escaping this planet is only the first step - together, they must somehow flee all the way to Terra, wherein lies their only hope of returning to their own place and time. Lost in a strange, foreign universe, pursued and hounded by their enemies at every turn, Rod and Gwen must race across the galaxy, fighting for their survival, their freedom, and to return home.

Biographie:
Christopher Stasheff (1944-2018) was a teacher, thespian, techie, and author of science fiction & fantasy novels. One of the pioneers of science fantasy, his career spaned four decades, 44 novels (including translations into Czech, German, Italian, Russian, and Japanese), 29 short stories, and seven 7 anthologies. His novels are famous for their humor (and bad puns), exploration of comparative political systems, and philosophical undertones. He has always had difficulty distinguishing fantasy from reality and has tried to compensate by teaching college. When teaching proved too real, he gave it up in favor of writing full time. He tends to pre-script his life, but can't understand why other people never get their lines right. This causes a fair amount of misunderstanding with his wife and four children. He writes novels because it's the only way he can be the director, the designer, and all the actors too. Chris died in 2018 from Parkinson's Disease. He will be remembered by his friends, family, fans, and students for his kind and gentle nature, and for his witty sense of humor. His terrible puns, however, will be forgotten as soon as humanly possible....
