Né en 1935 à New York, Robert Silverberg a publié sa première nouvelle à l’âge de dix-huit ans et son premier roman, Révolte sur Alpha C, à dix-neuf ans à peine. Le Cycle de Majipoor, paru tout au long des années 1980 et 1990, est son œuvre la plus célèbre. Il a reçu en 2004, pour l’ensemble de son œuvre, le titre de Grand Maître de la science-fiction, la plus haute distinction honorifique du domaine, décerné par l’Association des auteurs américains de science-fiction.
The Lexman Spacedrive gave man the stars - but at a fantastic price.
Interstellar exploration, colonisation, and trade became things of reality. The benefits to Earth were enormous but, because of the Fitzgerald Contraction, a man who shipped out to space could never live a normal life on Earth again. Travelling at speeds close to that of light, spacemen lived at an accelerated pace. A nine-year trip to Alpha Centauri and back seemed to take only six weeks to men on a spaceship. When they returned, their friends and relatives had aged enormously in comparison, old customs had changed, even the language was different.
Alan was a spacer, just like his whole family - until, suddenly and without intending to, he in turn jumped ship and remained on Earth. There were times he regretted that. Earth was a bewildering and utterly hostile place. To stay alive, he had to play a ruthless game - and he couldn't even find anyone to tell him the rules. . . .
