“Night Walk” is the first novel published by Bob Shaw in 1967 and as it’s tipycal for this author it’s centered around an invention. In this novel we have the special glasses, an instrument that allows a blind person to see: its importance can be seen – begging your pardon for the pun – only at the end of the novel.
James Graham Ballard was born on November 15, 1930 in Shanghai, where his British family had moved because of his father’s job.
The publication of his article “Which Way to Inner Space” on the magazine “New Worlds” marked the birth of the British New Wave science fiction literary movement. The base topic of this movement is the inner space with great attention to psychic pulsions.
Ballard’s fame grew up in 1962 with the publication of his second novel, “The Drowned World”.
The novel “Axis” by Robert Charles Wilson was published for the first time in 2007. It’s the second book of the Spin trilogy and follows “Spin”.
Humans are colonizing the New World, and many of them have no problem with the presence of the Fourths, but the “Department of Genomic Security” is still trying to track them down, particularly a group that used Martian technology to create a very special child.
Meanwhile, Lise Adams is investigating the circumstances of her father’s disappearance ten years earlier. Among the clues she has is a photo of him with some Fourths, whom she is seeking on the New World to ask for help.
