Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

[8], 232 pages. Cover has some wear and soiling. Some page discoloration noted. Richard Carlton Meredith (October 21, 1937 – March 8, 1979), was an American writer, illustrator and graphic designer, best known as the author of science fiction short stories and novels including We All Died at Breakaway Station and The Timeliner Trilogy. During Meredith's years at high school and one year at West Virginia State College, he discovered science fiction, including the juvenile novels of Robert A. Heinlein and the pulp magazines Amazing and Fantastic. In 1950 he bought his first copy of Astounding, of which he collected virtually all issues until the death of the editor John W. Campbell, in 1971. It was at this time that Meredith wrote his first short stories. Meredith attended DeepSouthCon 8 in Atlanta, Georgia in 1970, a science fiction convention also known as "Agacon '70". During the convention he was awarded the first Phoenix Award for professional contributions to southern science fiction fandom. Meredith's first hardcover novel At the Narrow Passage was published in 1973 by G.P. Putnam's Sons. This was followed by the publication of No Brother, No Friend (1976) and Vestiges of Time (1978) by Doubleday. The three novels are commonly referred to as The Timeliner Trilogy, but this series title was not applied until the books were reprinted in revised form by Playboy Press in 1979. Also notable from this period was the publication by Ballantine Books of Meredith's time travel novel Run, Come See Jerusalem! Meredith's science fiction novels were reprinted between 1985 and 1988, but have since been out of print. Derived from a review by Alex Hormann found on-line: Where Run, Come See Jerusalem! really shines is in its time travel. Naturally, we’re deep into paradox territory by the end of the novel. One of the things that always bothers me in time travel stories is they present deadlines as important. You know the sort of thing. We’ve traveled back a hundred years and now only have ten hours to find the villain. Well, no. You have a time machine. You have literally infinite time. There’s no rush. Meredith employs a little logic, having Spillman re-tread his own timeline to avoid disaster. At the same time, there are lasting effects of all the time travel. The final pages of the novel deliver one of the finest literary gut-punches I’ve ever encountered, and one that more than makes up for a winding start to the novel. If you’re a fan of US history, there are extra treats for you too. Meredith brings Chicago in 1871 alive. The English family and their cohorts feel like fully realized individuals, and all the little details of their lives form a perfect image of life in the period. I also have to give Meredith credit for writing accents in a way that doesn’t make me want to claw my eyes out. I bet a historian would be able to spot the inaccuracies in the timeline that result from Spillman’s actions. I was just happy to go along it with. Run, Come See Jerusalem! is still a brilliant piece of time-travel fiction. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing.…
