El rey de Borlien vive acosado por sus adversarios y por conflictos religiosos: tan sólo puede confiar en su Guardia Phagor. Finalmente deberá divorciarse de la hermosa reina Myrdeminggala y contraer matrimonio con la princesa del vecino Oldorando, que no es mas que una niña. Los eternos enemigos de los seres humanos, los phagors, se muestran menos beligerantes en esta época: pueden permitirse esperar y sacar provecho de la debilidad del rey y de su pueblo. Ésta es la segunda entrega de la saga épica de Heliconia. El planeta alcanza un clímax poderoso donde las tortuosas circunstancias arrastran a todos sus habitantes. La brillante prosa de Aldiss nos traslada una vez más a un universo extrañamente fascinante y verosímil. http://nwhyte.livejournal.com/2583651.html Helliconia Summer also still worked for me - the twist here is that the Earth observation satellite sends a volunteer from its crew to the surface of Helliconia, where he knows he will not survive long due to a lack of immunity from local diseases, but gets very much mixed up in a complex dynastic / political / gendered dispute among local rulers. Aldiss plays the theme of technologically advanced individual failing to impress a much more medieval civilisation very nicely. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The Grand Master of Science Fiction's "monumental" epic continues as Helliconia nears its larger star--and a strange visitor joins its civilization (The Times, London). A handful of centuries on, Helliconia is close to the larger star in its binary system, and the Phagors have been driven into exile, but conflicting religions and hostility to science keep human civilization fragmented and constantly fighting wars over petty power and fertile land as a plague devastates populations. However, everything changes when a secret visitor from the observer satellite from Earth accepts a slow death in order to visit the planet and spend his time in the sunlight and open air. More than thirty years after the original publication of Helliconia Spring, the first volume of the Helliconia Trilogy, the series is newly available, now with a map, an afterword, and an introduction by the author.
