Produktbeschreibung
A mouthful of literary confectionaries, the infinite taste of which you will never forget: 20 mind-boggling stories that combine science fiction with detective mysteries, against a sublime backdrop of distant times and starry space. What to expect in the way of crimes when you have to deal with bizarre creatures and time travelers? Brilliant Billie Occasion and Greta Imelda Gandhi are the heroes of most of the stories, but you will also find tall tales about future sports in the context of biological and cultural changes -- and even more to read! Bertil Falk (b. 1933) is a retired newspaper and TV journalist, and a living legend in Swedish SF and crime fiction circles, published internationally in English, Chinese and Filipino. He got his first SF story published when he was twelve years old in 1946, making his debut as a novelist in 1954 with a crime mystery. He has been featured in, among others, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine, Crimespree Magazine and the anthology Passport to Crime: Finest Mystery Stories from International Crime Writers edited by Janet Hutchings. In 2016, his biography of the politician Feroze Gandhi, Feroze -- the Forgotten Gandhi, was published by Roli Books in India and made Bertil Falk a celebrity in the country; Feroze was the husband of Indira Gandhi, who erased him from history after his death. And in 2020, his great work Faktasin about the Swedish history of science fiction literature, was published in three volumes, based on a 1000-page manuscript he had worked on almost his whole life.

Som journalist arbetade han sedan vid bland annat Kvällsposten och på TV3:s nyhetsredaktion i London. 1969 återuppväckte han Jules Verne-Magasinet, som sedan övertogs av Sam J. Lundwall. År 2016 rönte han stor uppmärksamhet i Indien genom sin bok Feroze -- the Forgotten Gandhi, som han arbetat på i 40 år.
