Beschreibung
Godfrey Justin Holmes is a man out of time running from his past. Two trips to two worlds had broken the bond with his times. But a hundred years of travel do not bring a century of forgetfulness-not when you cheat time with the petite mort of the cold sleep. Time's vengeance is memory, and though for an age you plunder the eye of seeing and empty the ear of sound, when you awaken your past is still with you. He had started running because of a girl buried on another world. Almost 600 years later Holmes is a Hell Cop on Tierra del Cygnus. It's his job to protect the people of Betty (short for Beta Station) from the hostilities of their colony world. The mother of all city wrecking storm is headed right towards his adopted home and it's up to him to do what ever he can to mitigate the coming disaster. Both the storm and his past come crashing down on him making his task almost impossible. 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.
