Produktbeschreibung

They are the Party Set, the social elite whom everyone follows and envies. They stay in cryogenic stasis until the next grand party. For them the passing of years can be nothing more than the passing of a few days. Members of The Set watch as society changes rapidly around them. They are aloof, immutable, a relic of an older age. But they are not immune to the forces of time that press on them at each and every party as they get more and more out of touch with the world around them. Then the impossible happens, a member of The Set is almost killed in a vicious attack by another member of The Set. Now they must deal with a society that they only barely comprehend. An elegant tragedy by one of science fiction's greatest writers. Roger Zelazny was a science fiction and fantasy writer, a six-time Hugo Award winner, and a three-time Nebula Award Winner. He published more than forty novels in his lifetime. His first novel, This Immortal, serialized in The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction under the title ...And Call Me Conrad won the Hugo Award for best novel. Lord of Light, his third novel, also won the Hugo award and was nominated for the Nebula award. He died at age 58 from cancer. Zelazny was posthumously inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2010. "A storyteller without peer. He created worlds as colorful and exotic and memorable as any our genre has ever seen." -George R.R. Martin ". . . his performance was never anything other than dazzling." -Robert Silverberg "Roger Zelazny's work excited me. It was intoxicating and delightful and unique. And it was smart." -Neil Gaiman
