Recensie(s) Als een moderne Odysseus zwerft Omar Gordon door de "Twintig Universa" over het "Pad van roem". Hij doet dit naar aanleiding van een advertentie die hoog loon, roemrijk avontuur en groot gevaar biedt. Aan zijn zijde de mooiste vrouw die de aarde ooit gezien heeft, mysterieus als een middeleeuwse heks. Hij moet deze vrouw via vele gevaren naar haar bestemming brengen en ontvangt als loon een fabelachtige schat. Een zeer welkome herdruk van een goed geschreven s.f.-roman met kostelijke soms wat simpele humor.

E. C. "Scar" Gordon was on the French Riviera recovering from a tour of combat in Southeast Asia , but he hadn't given up his habit of scanning the Personals in the newspaper. One ad in particular leapt out at him: "ARE YOU A COWARD? This is not for you. We badly need a brave man. He must be 23 to 25 years old, in perfect health, at least six feet tall, weigh about 190 pounds, fluent English, with some French, proficient in all weapons, some knowledge of engineering and mathematics essential, willing to travel, no family or emotional ties, indomitably courageous and handsome of face and figure. Permanent employment, very high pay, glorious adventure, great danger. You must apply in person, rue Dante, Nice, 2me étage, apt. D." How could you not answer an ad like that, especially when it seemed to describe you perfectly? Well, except maybe for the "handsome" part, but that was in the eye of the beholder anyway. So he went to that apartment and was greeted by the most beautiful woman he'd ever met. She seemed to have many names, but agreed he could call her "Star." A pretty appropriate name, as it turned out, for the empress of twenty universes. Robert A. Heinlein's one true fantasy novel, Glory Road is as much fun today as when he wrote it after Stranger in a Strange Land. Heinlein proves himself as adept with sword and sorcery as with rockets and slide rules and the result is exciting, satirical, fast-paced, funny and tremendously readable -- a favorite of all who have read it. Glory Road is a masterpiece of escapist entertainment with a typically Heinleinian sting in its tail. Tor is proud to return this all-time classic to hardcover to be discovered by a new generation of readers. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
