Another interesting concept from Anderson as he speculates how a frontier society of asteroid miners would lead to its own style of self-determination and maybe set the foundations for generational starships. Made up of a sequence of previously published short stories woven together with new linking material the overall reading experience is a little patchy, and at times I would have liked less focus on the big idea and more on some of the interesting characters that populated it. ( ) This is a series f loosely linked short stories about settler n the asteroids who develop their own independent nation and then send a colony ship to the stars. The stories are set within a frame story in which the leaders of the colon ship are debating how to tell their children about the history of their people, which, as the stories reveal, was not always heroic. I absolutely loved this book and to this day I continue to reflect back on the images that it created. Of all the science fiction books I have read over the years, this one has had the largest impact on my imagination. It hints at so many possibilities, elements of science fiction that aren't off in the distant future, that it feels like the tales are just years away from reality. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de uitgeversreeks(en)BevatSunjammer door Poul Anderson
In a thrilling collection of hard science fiction stories, a master of speculative fiction envisions a volatile future when Earth's colonies throughout the galaxy attempt to break free from home-world rule On a spaceship rocketing toward the stars, an official council meets to discuss how to censor history for the benefit of a new generation in space--which stories to preserve and which ones to discard forever . . . Golden-age hard science fiction luminary Poul Anderson approached the future with a mixture of excitement, hope, and skepticism. In Tales of the Flying Mountains, the multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner offers stories from a new war of independence and beyond--portending a time when a North American government on Earth will take up arms against its own rebellious children colonizing the cosmos, then exploring the shape of the universe in the war's aftermath. Firmly based in hard science and human nature, here are seven excursions into a distant tomorrow, from the tense saber rattling preceding the hostilities to the establishment and growth of the independent Asteroid Republic. Whether he's spinning an imaginative yarn about the courageous crew of an unarmed state-of-the-art commercial space station using every resources at hand to battle a military incursion from the home world or chronicling a space colony's desperate gamble to thwart a government takeover by moving an entire asteroid, Anderson builds truly breathtaking worlds and imagines astonishing yet eminently credible future scenarios while infusing his unforgettable tales with intelligence, compassion, surprise, and humanism.
