John Ford

    1. Februar 1894 – 31. August 1973

    John M. Ford war ein gefeierter Autor von Science-Fiction und Fantasy, bekannt für seine außergewöhnliche Intelligenz, Gelehrsamkeit und seinen Witz. Sein Werk beschäftigt sich häufig mit stilistischen Pastichen und Parodien, wobei er spielerisch verschiedene Autoren und Genres neu interpretiert. Ford's Lyrik, ob in strengen Formen oder im freien Vers, zeigte oft seine Beherrschung komplexer Strukturen und seinen ausgeprägten Sinn für Humor. Seine einzigartige literarische Stimme und seine aufschlussreiche Perspektive machen ihn zu einer unvergesslichen Figur in der spekulativen Fiktion.

      John M. Ford's The Scholars of Night is an extraordinary novel of technological espionage and human betrayal, weaving past and present into a web of unbearable suspense. Nicholas Hansard is a brilliant historian at a small New England college. He specializes in Christopher Marlowe. But Hansard has a second, secret, career with The White Group, a “consulting agency” with shadowy government connections. There, he is a genius at teasing secrets out of documents old and new—to call him a code-breaker is an understatement. When Hansard’s work exposes one of his closest friends as a Russian agent, and the friend then dies mysteriously, the connections seem all too clear. Shaken, Hansard turns away from his secret work to lose himself in an ancient Marlowe manuscript. Surely, a lost 400 year old play is different enough from modern murder. He is very, very wrong.
