Avec son ami de longue date, Gardner Dozois, George R. R. Martin a concocté une anthologie qui nous fait voyager dans le temps et dans l'espace. Direction les jungles de Vénus, quand on rêvait encore des mystères que pouvait renfermer la planète. Old Venus contient seize nouvelles, parmi lesquelles on retrouve Ian McDonald, Mike Resnick, Lavie Tidhar, Elizabeth Bear ou encore Joe Haldeman.
L'anthologie sera disponible en mars 2015.
From pulp adventures such as Edgar Rice Burroughs’s Carson of Venus to classic short stories such as Ray Bradbury’s “The Long Rain” to visionary novels such as C. S. Lewis’s Perelandra, the planet Venus has loomed almost as large in the imaginations of science fiction writers as Earth’s next-nearest neighbor, Mars. But while the Red Planet conjured up in Golden Age science fiction stories was a place of vast deserts and ruined cities, bright blue Venus was its polar opposite: a steamy, swampy jungle world with strange creatures lurking amidst the dripping vegetation. Alas, just as the last century’s space probes exploded our dreams of Mars, so, too, did they shatter our romantic visions of Venus, revealing, instead of a lush paradise, a hellish world inimical to all life.
But don’t despair! This new anthology of sixteen original stories by some of science fiction’s best writers—edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author George R. R. Martin and award-winning editor Gardner Dozois—turns back the clock to that more innocent time, before the hard-won knowledge of science vanquished the infinite possibilities of the imagination.
