More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
No American writer during the 1990s has published a more distinguished bibliography of first-rate science fiction than Robert Reed. In the title piece, a renegade misfit conquers the dragons and renews the threat of nuclear chaos aboard Springplace, a man-made repository for old reactor cores, dirty plutonium, and dismantled bombs. Another story is a sprawling intergalactic epic that takes place aboard a starship. Salvaged and commandeered by humans, the massive generation starship becomes the setting for a titanic struggle between two alien entities who engage in a monumental battle for survival. In "Chrysalis", the author explores not just an alien milieu but the nature of man himself when another ancient starship lands and investigates an icy unknown planet inhabited by humans millions of years earlier.

The best modern SF author you never heard of.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Dragons of Springplace: Stories (Hardcover)
I understand those who say they don't write SF like they used to. Reed shows they do it better. The style of the New Wave with the substance of the old. An important author who will be huge in the next decade. I assure you. His stories are like action packed explosions that manage to make you think at the same time. SF has a future & he's a big part of it. Only Nancy Kress, & Baxter will be as big or bigger.
