• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

How close can you ever be to another human being? How much can you love someone? And what has sex got to do with it? If that someone is not there, what can you do? In his earliest years Nicky found himself in a council of Indian Chiefs gathered to oversee his purchase of a friend's sister for a bag of marbles. But the girl did not agree. Later he found a sister, yet though he loved her he was not satisfied, and nuclear bombs cut short what happiness they had. A time came when he settled into a new crib in which a soul of amity, a jewel of strange and alien cut, already slept. Waking they peered from prismatic eyes, seeing their face in the corners of vision, the snout of a shiny black chitinous helmet, mandibles flexing sideways. But Y'y'yr was not the sister he sought.

Nicky was a name of his distant past when Melikaphkaz XIV sent him to confront the Valkyries, who were rampaging across the far stars of the empire in their Great Ships. The Emperor seemed to know more about his origins than he did himself. A royal marriage beckoned, but experience told him that should sister and wife coincide jealousies could be catastrophic.

Autorenporträt

This fellow lives in the forest with his wife, whom he met in their teens. At her first square dance she caught him in her butterfly net. She threw away the net and they've been fluttering around together ever since. To help pay for the necessary nectar and a leaf over their heads (there started to be caterpillars, long since butterflies themselves) he has bent umbrella handles (truly), delivered bread, milk, mail, worked as a shop assistant, in forestry, wild life research (ornithologist), taught English as a second language, driven interstate trucks, lectured in computer scienceamong other things. He first saw the light of day in Gloucestershire, England; migrated to Australia aged 30; and lived near Perth for a long time. Recently they moved to Far North Queensland.
