From Library Journal: A cautionary tale by Stephen R. Donaldson ("Reeve the Just"), a whimsical ad venture in miniature by Dennis L. McKiernan ("The Halfling House"), and a tribute to the art of storytelling by Charles de Lint ("The Conjure Man") il lustrate the variety of this collection of 19 stories written to celebrate the centennial of Tolkien's birth. Although fans of Middle Earth may be disappointed that none of these tales draw directly from Tolkien's world, discerning readers will find the unmistakable stamp of the master concealed in the heart of each story. All in all, this solid collection of fantasy belongs in most libraries. For a new edition of The Lord of the Rings and more on Tolkien, see Classic Returns, LJ 11/15/91. Copyright 1991 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Kirkus Reviews: Yet another Festschrift anthology by Greenberg, who has recently edited or coedited tributes to Isaac Asimov, Ray Bradbury, and H.P. Lovecraft, this time to honor the much-imitated author of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The difficulty with these projects is that the writers must retain the essential flavor of their own work while evoking somehow the style or subject or tone of the revered predecessor, and here--as in the Asimov, Bradbury, and Lovecraft volumes--the quality of the stories varies tremendously. The book leads off with an exceptionally good story by Stephen R. Donaldson, "Reave the Just", in which a legendary hero saves the day in a most unusual fashion. Emma Bull's "Silver or Gold", Peter S. Beagle's "The Naga", Judith Tarr's "Death and the Lady", and Patricia A. McKillip's "The Fellowship of the Dragon'' likewise evoke something of the spirit of Tolkien while offering wonderful, original tales in their authors' own strong voices. Meanwhile, John Brunner, Barry N. Malzberg, and Gregory Benford provide solid stories, but their connection to Tolkien is slight. Much that's unfortunately mediocre, and a few stories (such as Dennis L. McKiernan's "The Halfling House", egregious at 29 pages) that would have made Tolkien himself wince — but, still, the strongest tales here are among the best short-length fantasy of the year. -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP.

Télékinésie, précognition, télépathie... Etranges et merveilleuses, leurs facultés déroutantes font peur autant qu’elle fascinent. Eux, ce sont les mutants : des humains « différents » dont les talents très particuliers se sont progressivement développés depuis la fin du XXe siècle. En apparence, rien ne les distingue des autres, les « normaux », si ce n’est la curieuse et inexplicable pigmentation dorée de leurs iris… Aujourd’hui, en ce début de troisième millénaire, la cohabitation, jusqu’à présent pacifique, demeure précaire. L’existence des mutants, très minoritaires et tout juste tolérés par l’humanité ordinaire, est à la merci de la moindre provocation, du plus petit dérapage. Or voilà qu’un politicien sans scrupules entreprend de transformer l’intolérance en guerre ouverte. La « saison des mutants » va-t-elle s’achever dans un bain de sang ? |

Una delle ultime invenzioni di Asimov è l’universo immaginario (ma non troppo) in cui si svolgono le avventure narrate in Le fasi del caos. Dopo aver passato una vita a raccontare le vicende di una galassia popolata soltanto da uomini e robot, Asimov immagina qui un intrigo che vede coinvolte, oltre a quella umana, altre cinque razze che conoscono il volo interstellare: razze spesso ostili e sospettose l’una dell’altra, fra cui l’uomo non fa certo brutta figura. Stabilite questo premesse, che presto daranno luogo a una serie di rapide quanto pericolose avventure, Asimov passa la mano ad alcuni brillanti scrittori; suoi allievi ideali, che svolgono la vicenda all’insegna della suspense, ma senza dimenticare una punta di ironia in omaggio al loro ispiratore |

Cuando llega el invierno, los mutantes se reúnen… Siempre han vivido en la sombra, pero cerca de la sociedad normal. Ignorados, marginados, han sobrevivido recluidos en clanes invisibles, usando sus extraordinarias facultades psíquicas para escudarse contra la intolerancia, en fanatismo y el aborrecimiento que inspira a los normales, hasta ahora… El primer líder mutante, que ha emergido a la luz para reclamar iguales derechos que el resto de los mortales, es asesinado. Encontrar al asesino es la difícil misión de un grupo de mutantes. Entre ellos están Michael, confuso entre la lealtad al clan y su amor por una persona normal; Melanie, sola entre los mutantes y rechazada por los normales; y Jean, que usa su poder psíquico y su sexualidad de mutante para obtener todo aquello que más desea. Como sociedad deben luchar contra su entorno, ocultando sus miedos hasta encontrar un medio que proteja sus intimidades, sus amores y sus vidas |
