Produktbeschreibung
Terry Gene Carr (1937-1987) was one of the most important editors in the science fiction field. Although most remembered for his long-running anthology series "Universe," which launched in 1971 and lasted seventeen volumes until 1987, Carr also edited two series of Ace Science Fiction Specials, which presented works by up-and-coming authors such as William Gibson (Neuromancer), Michael Swanwick (Into the Rift), Ursula K. le Guin (The Left Hand of Darkness), Alexei Panshin (Rite of Passage), and many more. His editing career was devoted, in many ways, to discovering and developing new talent in the field. His editing reach included "Year's Best" volumes of science fiction and fantasy, as well as quite a few other anthologies (both original and reprint). "Warlord of Kor" was originally published in 1963 as half of an Ace Double, selected by legendary editor Donald A. Wollheim. It is an exciting interplanetary adventure, as humans probe the mysteries of the planet Hirlaj and the few remaining aliens who live there.
Autorenporträt
Terry Gene Carr (1937 - 1987) was a United States science fiction fan, author, editor and writing instructor. Carr discovered science fiction fandom in 1949, where he became an enthusiastic publisher of fanzines, which later helped open his way into the commercial publishing world. (He was one of the two fans responsible for the hoax fan 'Carl Brandon' after whom the Carl Brandon Society takes its name.) Despite a long career as a science fiction professional, he continued to participate as a fan until his death. He was nominated five times for Hugos for Best Fanzine (1959-1961, 1967-1968), winning in 1959, was nominated three times for Best Fan Writer (1971-1973), winning in 1973, and was Fan Guest of Honor at ConFederation in 1986.
