Articoli correlati a The Man Who Loved Alien Landscapes
A science fiction novel that begins as a murder mystery and is taken over by an interstellar treasure hunt.
What could draw poet, explorer, loner and paranoid Mykol Ranglen away from the relative peace of his own stellar habitat? He has no choice in the matter as one by one acquaintances are murdered or disappear altogether. Propelled by ever changing and deepening mysteries Mykol embarks to uncover secrets which could make people rich beyond their wildest dreams...or tear apart human civilization.
The escalating quest takes him through worlds of many dangerous extremes, leading him to confront the deadly alien "fist of thorns," extinct species refusing to give up their power over the future, and those racing against him to uncover the secret first. But in the course of his pursuit, he must also face his own secrets. And some of these are more dangerous.

Recensione:
L'autore:
“In Wendland’s intricately plotted, character-driven debut, pulp exploration meets philosophical speculation, and a moralistic sensibility is fused with Philip K. Dick’s paranoid fantasies and Ray Bradbury’s awe of alien encounters....Impending doom pervades ripping action scenes, the Lovecraftian theme of ancient warring aliens lends cosmic menace and authenticity to a grandiose mystery...deeply absorbing.”—Publishers Weekly starred review
“...shows a narrative energy and enthusiasm for the genre...there is an intriguing mystery subplot, and when the action picks up, readers will want to stay for the final act.”—Library Journal
Albert Wendland teaches English, and often SF, at Seton Hill University, where he co-created the MFA program in Writing Popular Fiction, which emphasizes genre fiction exclusively, an emphasis rare in graduate writing programs.
