As the first title in a new science fiction series from Julian May, this is a sure-fire hit. Her last two novels, "Diamond Mask" and "Magnificat" were both "Sunday Times" bestsellers, and "The Saga Of The Exiles" is still a fantasy/sf phenomenon. The delightfully named Helmut Icicle is the hero of "Perseus Spur". His attempts at a quiet life are ruined when it appears that the whole of human civilisation is under threat.

Produktbeschreibung
As the first title in a new science fiction series from Julian May, this is a sure-fire hit. Her last two novels, "Diamond Mask" and "Magnificat" were both "Sunday Times" bestsellers, and "The Saga Of The Exiles" is still a fantasy/sf phenomenon. The delightfully named Helmut Icicle is the hero of "Perseus Spur". His attempts at a quiet life are ruined when it appears that the whole of human civilisation is under threat.
I was living in pleasant anonymity under the name of Helmut Icicle, taking smartass sport-divers out on holocam trips around the reefs of Kedge-Lockaby. Fourteen thousand light years away from civilization, K-L's a freesoil planet way out in the boondocks. That's why I like it: it makes life easier if no one asks nosy questions. So one minute there I was, subbing around Brillig Reef; the next thing I know, some giant sea-toad has eaten my house and I'm caught up in a galactic conspiracy! From gently coaxing an ageing submersible around the shores of K-L to piloting a state-of-the-art Javelin starship may seem like a big jump: but when it looks as if the future course of human civilization is under threat, it's a hell of a motivator. 'Perseus Spur'delivers everything readers have come to expect from worldwide bestseller Julian May: galactic scope, high adventure, humour, and complex political intrigue in a finely worked balance. "A writer of exceptional perception and power" JEAN AUEL, author of 'The Clan of the Cave Bear'
