Descriptions du produit

From Publishers Weekly

Continuing the delightful adventures begun in Bimbos of the Death Sun , engineering professor and famed science fiction author Jay Omega and his significant other, Marion Farley, a professor of SF, investigate the murder of another science fiction writer.
Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.


From Library Journal

The world of science fiction fandom forms the background for this second outing featuring engineering professor/sf writer Jay Omega and his English professor ladyfriend Marion Farley. Invited by a colleague to an exclusive reunion of a once-famous clique of sf writers known as the Lanthanides, Jay and Marion uncover a bizarre mystery surrounding a 30-year-old time capsule and a twice-dead reunion crasher. The author of Bimbos of the Death Sun (TSR, 1987) pays affectionate tribute to the sf fannish phenomenon while unraveling a mystery whose roots lie in the halcyon days of science fiction. Highly recommended for both sf and mystery collections.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Great Quirky Characters, Aoû 30 2003
Par A. Wolverton (Crofton, MD United States) - Voir tous mes commentaires
(REAL NAME)   
In the 1950's, a group of science fiction fans decided to drive to WorldCon to meet their writer idols (and basically to have a big blast). They didn't make it to WorldCon, but they did make it to Wall Hollow, Tennessee, where all the members each wrote a story and buried it in a time capsule.

30 years later, several of the members of the group have hit it big as SF writers. Their reunion at Wall Hollow becomes a huge media event, with publishers bidding on the rights to the stories buried in the time capsule. But just before the reunion starts, someone is murdered.

'Zombies of the Gene Pool' is an entertaining book which includes well-drawn, quirky characters straight out of the science fiction world. McCrumb's writing and characterization are right on target. The payoff, for me, wasn't as satisfying as the journey, which in itself was quite fun. Fans of science fiction will enjoy this humorous, sometimes bittersweet look at the world of science fiction authors.

3.0étoiles sur 5 Something the Other Reviewers Missed, Avril 16 2001
The other reviewers left out the sadness in this book. For me, the best part is the Lanathides' nostalgia for their lost youth and their readjustment upon meeting their former closest friends after a lapse of decades. I also liked the effective, though obvious, symbolism of the drawdown of the the artificial lake that exposes the long-covered countryside where lay the Slan Shack.

4.0étoiles sur 5 Totally different mystery/adventure., Déc 20 2000
Par MLPlayfair (Ravenna, OH) - Voir tous mes commentaires
This highly readable story works on several levels. It apparently contains a lot of insider references to the sci-fi fandom genre, but most of them passed me by. And it didn't matter. I still enjoyed it thoroughly, as usual with her work. McCrumb writes so well, and so solidly, that it's all one can do to take a break rather than read through to the end in one sitting. But I did miss the humor of her funnier books.
