Henry Kuttner Bücher
7. April 1915 – 4. Februar 1958
Henry Kuttner, allein und in Zusammenarbeit mit seiner Frau C.L. Moore, zählt zu den bedeutendsten Science-Fiction- und Fantasy-Autoren der 1940er Jahre. Sein Werk drang tief in die soziologischen und psychologischen Aspekte des Genres ein und bereicherte die Science-Fiction um eine menschliche Dimension, die über die reine Technologie hinausging. Kuttners Talent lag vor allem in kürzeren Formen, wo er Dutzende von Werken schuf, die zu den wichtigsten Errungenschaften des Genres zählen und durchweg lieferbar sind. Sein Schreiben zeichnete sich durch eine außergewöhnliche Qualität aus, die nicht nur in der Science-Fiction, sondern auch in der breiteren Literatur selten war.

Far beneath the seas of Venus the descendants of Earth now live in impervium domes. The citizens reside securely and comfortably within the safety of their Keeps, but through their midst stride men whose grim, sunburned faces make them seem like a different race – the Free Companions.These are the surface dwellers – the mercenaries who fight out the wars of Venus's cities so that the rest of civilization can survive in peace.The prequel to Henry Kuttner's classic novel Fury, this enthralling story follows one of their military campaigns. Not many of the Free Companions ever questioned their way of life – but Clash by Night tells of one who did...In these five gems of imagination the talents of Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore combine to produce a powerful and shocking blend of science fiction and horror.Contents:- Introduction by Peter Pinto- Clash by Night (1943)- When the Bough Breaks (1944)- Juke-Box (1947)- The Ego Machine (1952)- Vintage Season (1946)
