Nightwings [MultiFormat]

[First of 2 "New Springtime" novels.] Everyone on Earth for a million years or more had known that the death-stars were coming, that the Great World was doomed. One could not deny that; one could not hide from that. They had come before and surely they would come again, for their time was immutable, every twenty-six million years, and their time had come 'round once more. One by one they would crash down terribly from the skies, falling without mercy for thousands or even hundreds of thousands o... more info>> (Published: 1988) Locus Poll Award Nominee

Breckenridge and the Continuum [MultiFormat]
by Robert Silverberg
|

This is one of a set of stories written in the early 70s when Silverberg was really trying to reach beyond conventional storytelling. After reading the entertaining and interesting narrative, you are left with little idea what "actually" happened. There is not a plot in the everyday sense (A happened, then B, etc). Breckenridge is a successful New York stockbroker who was born in 1940 and is going through an existential crisis of the "Is this all there is to life?" variety. He's also exploring a... more info>> (Published: 1973)
