J.-H. Rosny Aine is the second most important figure in modern
French science fiction after Jules Verne. Rosny, who was a member
of the distinguished Goncourt literary academy, was also the first
writer to straddle the line between mainstream literature and
science fiction. Until now, Rosny has best been known to the
English-speaking public for his prehistoric thriller, Quest for
Fire. In The Xipehuz, men encounter inorganic aliens, with whom all
forms of communication prove impossible. In Another World, a mutant
whose vision is superior to that of ordinary men discovers that
humans share the Earth with two other species, the invisible
Moedigen and Vuren. In The Death of the Earth, Earth, in the far
future, has become a desert, and the last descendents of humanity
are slowly being replaced by a new species, the metal-based
"Ferromagnetals." In The Navigators of Space, astronauts travel to
Mars in a spaceship powered by artificial gravity and come in
contact with a dying race that is gentle, peaceful, six-eyed and
three-legged. This is a series of seven volumes, six of which are
translated and annotated by Brian Stableford, devoted to presenting
the classic works of this giant of French science fiction.
