Synopsis
A planet orbiting binary suns, Helliconia has a Great Year spanning three millennia of Earth cultures are born in spring, flourish in summer, then die with the onset of the generations-long winter. It is the summer of the Great Year on Helliconia. The humans are involved with their own affairs. Their old enemies, the phagors, are comparatively docile at this time of year, yet they can afford to wait, to take advantage of human weakness -- and the king's weakness. How they do so brings to a climax this powerfully compelling novel, in which the tortuous unwindings of circumstance enmesh royalty and commoners alike, and involve the Helliconia continents. This is the second volume of the Helliconia Trilogy -- a monumental saga that goes beyond anything yet created by this master among today's imaginative writers.

Helliconia Summer
Seller: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spain
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Condition: Bueno. : En Helliconia, un planeta que orbita soles binarios, un Gran Año abarca tres milenios de culturas terrestres. Las culturas nacen en primavera, florecen en verano y mueren con el inicio del invierno, que dura generaciones. Es el verano del Gran Año en Helliconia, y los humanos están inmersos en sus propios asuntos. Sus antiguos enemigos, los fagos, son comparativamente dóciles en esta época del año, pero pueden permitirse esperar y aprovechar la debilidad humana y la del rey. La forma en que lo hacen lleva al clímax de esta novela, en la que las tortuosas circunstancias envuelven a la realeza y a los plebeyos por igual, e involucran a los continentes de Helliconia. EAN: 9780586053669 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Ciencia Ficción|Fantasía Título: Helliconia Summer Autor: Brian W. Aldiss Idioma: en Páginas: 576 Formato: tapa blanda.
