O ovoj e-knjizi
(Excerpt): "He was already a thief, prepared to steal again. He didn't know that he himself was only booty! Phil Garfield was thirty miles south of the little town of Redmon on Route Twelve when he was startled by a series of sharp, clanking noises. They came from under the Packard's hood. The car immediately began to lose speed. Garfield jammed down the accelerator, had a sense of sick helplessness at the complete lack of response from the motor. The Packard rolled on, getting rid of its momentum, and came to a stop."
O autoru
James H. Schmitz (1911-1981) was an American science fiction writer renowned for his engaging storytelling and innovative ideas. Born in Hamburg, Germany, to American parents, Schmitz's early life was marked by a unique blend of cultures, which later influenced his richly detailed world-building. He moved to the United States in the 1930s, where he began his literary career.Schmitz is best known for his contributions to the science fiction genre during the mid-20th century, particularly through his serialized works in magazines like "Astounding Science Fiction" and "Galaxy Science Fiction." His stories often featured strong, intelligent female protagonists, a revolutionary concept at the time, which has since inspired countless contemporary writers. Characters like Telzey Amberdon and Trigger Argee broke the mold of traditional gender roles in science fiction, paving the way for more diverse and empowered characters in the genre.Schmitz's work is also notable for its intricate plots and the seamless blending of science fiction with elements of mystery and adventure. His "Federation of the Hub" series, in particular, showcased his ability to create complex, interstellar societies that captivated readers' imaginations.Despite his relatively low profile compared to some of his contemporaries, Schmitz's influence is evident in the works of modern science fiction authors who continue to explore themes of gender equality, complex character development, and expansive world-building. His legacy endures as a testament to his innovative spirit and his contributions to the evolution of science fiction literature.
