Return to the world of the Bloody Sun Over fifty years ago, master
story-teller Marion Zimmer Bradley introduced readers to a
compelling new world. Darkover, a distant planet circling a red
sun, was home to telepaths and rebels, lovers and rivals, nonhuman
races both friendly and deadly, ancient traditions and even more
ancient feuds, and psychic gifts of unimaginable power, channeled
through starstone gems and capable of changing not only individual
lives, but the entire world. Generations of fans have fallen in
love with Darkover, and many of them have gone on to notable
literary careers of their own. Now editors Deborah J. Ross and
Elisabeth Waters have gathered together luminaries of fantasy in
this star-studded anthology of original stories that illuminate
Darkover's rich history and culture. From the Ages of Chaos to
re-contact with the Terrans, from the Dry Towns to the back streets
of Thendara to the horse pastures of Armida, these tales offer
action, courage, and humor, set in the wondrous world that is
Darkover. This volume contains stories by Robin Wayne Bailey,
Rachel Manjia Brown, Barb Caffrey, Debra Doyle and James D.
Macdonald, Rosemary Edghill and Rebecca Fox, Leslie Fish, Gabrielle
Harbowy, Steven Harper, Shariann Lewitt, Vera Nazarian, Diana L.
Paxson, Janni Lee Simner, Kari Sperring, Judith Tarr, Ann Sharp and
Elisabeth Waters.
