Produktbeschreibung
The Vanisher by Michael Shaara is a science fiction novel that explores themes of conspiracy, survival, and the human struggle for truth in the face of otherworldly threats. The story centers on Lieutenant Augustus Webster Hilton, an expendable officer who is thrust into a dangerous space mission. As the narrative unfolds, Hilton grapples with the growing realization that he is part of a much larger and darker scheme involving extraterrestrial beings. The story delves into the psychological effects of paranoia and isolation as Hilton confronts both the physical dangers of space and the increasingly surreal threats posed by an alien agenda. The Vanisher is a tense exploration of existential fear, the fragility of human perception, and the quest for survival in a universe filled with hidden dangers. Through suspenseful, fragmented interactions and a mix of science fiction and psychological drama, Shaara draws readers into a world where nothing is quite as it seems, and survival depends on the ability to trust one's own instincts in an unknowable reality.

Autorenporträt
Michael Shaara was an American author renowned for his contributions to science fiction, sports fiction, and historical fiction. Born on June 23, 1928, in Jersey City, New Jersey, to an Italian immigrant father, Shaara's early life was shaped by his diverse cultural background and experiences. He graduated in 1951 from Rutgers University, where he was a member of the Theta Chi fraternity. After college, Shaara served as a sergeant in the 82nd Airborne Division during the Korean War, an experience that would later influence his writing. Shaara's literary career spanned various genres, but he is perhaps best known for his historical fiction, particularly his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel The Killer Angels (1974), which vividly depicts the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. Though his early work focused on science fiction and sports fiction, it was his historical novels that brought him widespread recognition. In addition to his literary achievements, Shaara's family also became known for their literary contributions. His son, Jeff Shaara, went on to write several successful historical novels, continuing his father's legacy. Michael Shaara passed away on May 5, 1988, in Tallahassee, Florida, at the age of 59, leaving behind a lasting impact on American literature.
