Synopsis

Essef - The Muskies: spawned in Earth's long childhood of fire and stone, they flourish in the stinking hell Man calls civilisation. They ride the wind: gaseous beings perceptible to Man only now that a monstrous experiment has heightened his sense of smell - and destroyed civilisation in the process. And so a slow, destructive war breaks out between the Muskies and the scattered settlements of human survivors, a war that threatens humanity's very existence. Only the Telempath can stop it, but he's missing one arm - and wanted for the murder of his father.

About this title

About the Author

Spider Robinson, winner of three Hugos and a Nebula, was born in the Bronx and raised on Long Island, and has been a Canadian resident for 30 years. Holder of a bachelor's degree in English from the State University of New York, he worked as a folksinger and journalist before publishing his first story in Analog in 1973. He now lives with his wife Jeanne Robinson (co-author of the Hugo- and Nebula-winning Stardance trilogy) on an island outside Vancouver, B.C., where they raise and exhibit hopes.

Eleven of his 31 books are set in Callahan's Place, a fabulous tavern founded by a time traveler, where puns flow as freely as beer, and smell far worse. The most recent is Callahan's Con [Tor July 2003]. He has contributed a regular editorial column, "Future Tense," to Canada's national newspaper, The Globe & Mail, since 1995. In 2000, he released Belaboring the Obvious, a CD of original music with the legendary Amos Garrett ("Midnight at the Oasis") on lead guitar, and in 2001 he was a celebrity judge at the Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam.
