Produktbeschreibung

During humanity's exodus from Earth centuries ago, 10,000 starships scattered in all directions throughout the galaxy. Along with passengers, those starships brought humanity's ancient literature. During the upheavals preceding the Galactic Commonwealth's creation, that literature was largely lost. Stories, once known as, the "Arabian Nights" survived, corrupted and transfigured, as folklore on neglected barbarian worlds. These stories, recently rediscovered, are those told by starfaring visitors to the galaxy's forgotten worlds. 1,001 Lightyears Entertainments • The JinnThey ruled Thaj long before men arrived. Now there will be war. • Elgelt A girl with a rough homelife. A blue alien is her best friend. • Aubwoo Yesterday, he was the most respected poet in the land.

Autorenporträt

Dave Loeff is a long time fan of science fiction and fantasy. He enjoys books that explore social as well as scientific themes, including those by Neil Gaiman, Jack Vance, Frank Herbert, George Orwell and Brian Greene.

"I like to read books that inspire awe. It makes no difference whether that awe comes from fantasies like the Arabian Nights or from science books by Bob Berman. It's the mysterious that matters."
