A soldier fighting in World War II is transported to a land of knights and sorcerers, where he engages in a mythic battle unlike any he has known.
| Author Bio| Poul Anderson | | Born to Scandinavian parents in Bristol, Pennsylvania, Anderson spent a brief period of time in Denmark around the beginning of World War II, an experience which would later infuse his fantasy writing. After graduating from the University of Minnesota in 1948 with a degree in physics, he began to write, mostly short stories at first. In 1953, though, in addition to getting married on December 12, Anderson published serialized versions of his debut novel, BRAIN WAVE, as well as two other novels and 19 additional short stories. Anderson's fiction has worked in two fairly distinct sub-genres of science fiction; the first being "hard" science, a category associated with very carefully argued scientific plausiblities; and the second being fantasy--in particular, an adaptation of Nordic mythology--sometimes merging into alternate history stories. He received a number of awards in the science fiction field, both in the U.S. and in England, he served as president of the Science Fiction Writers of America Association, and his daughter, Astrid May, married sci-fi writer Greg Bear. Anderson died July 31, 2001 of cancer. |
