About the Author:
A. A. Attanasio is the author Radix, In Other Worlds, Arc of the Dream, and The Last Legends of Earth. He lives in Honolulu and writes most of his fiction inside a volcano: Koko Crater, a botanical garden near his home.
From Publishers Weekly:
The latest novel by Attanasio ( Radix ) partakes of elements of both fairy tale and high-tech science fiction. Billions of years in the future, long after the extinction of humankind and of the planet Earth, humans have been resurrected as pawns in a cosmic power struggle waged in a distant world. Tall and ungainly Chan-ti Beppu, who can expect only a spinster's life in her native land, travels by lynk (a portal joining even remote regions) to the beautiful city of N'ym, where she woos and wins Ned O'Tennis. A fighter pilot, he is one of the Aesirai, a human strain crafted from the genetic code of Earth's Vikings and unmolested by the lethal, spiderlike zotl who prey on all other humans. But when war heats up Ned is called away, and Chan-ti finally must seek her lover in the treacherous Overworld, where no humans are safe. Theirs is an epic love story, intricate, wildly imaginative and touching.

Book Description Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condition: Good: Moderate signs of wear. Cover Art: Mick van Houten (illustrator). 1991 Edition. © 1989: 4th in the 'Radix' series of books. 1st printing of 1991 edition:- Synopsis: It is two billion years since our solar system exploded and all life on Earth became extinct. But the essence of humankind has lingered in fossilized DNA drifting as debris deep in space. Alien beings reincarnate humanity from these remnants. It is to be bait in a bloodthirsty battle between the Rimstalker, mankind's reanimator, and the Zotl, horrific creatures who feed, vampire-like on the suffering of intelligent life-forms. The reborn are told: 'You owe no debt to the being that roused you to this second life.' But humans chose sides as humans will, embroiling themselves in a war of titanic proportions. Set in the artificial planetary system of Chalco-Doror, a vast cosmic machine, 'The Last Legends Of Earth' is the gripping saga of struggle against alien control. It is also imaginative world-building of the highest order, on a grand scale rarely seen in science fiction since the great works of Olaf Stapledon:- Review(s): "Here stands a high talent. A truly amazing, original towering talent" - Los Angeles Times / "A grand and glorious visionary epic which floods the reader with wonders - the thing that science fiction is supposed to achieve but all too rarely does. I loved it" - Robert Silverberg / "A dazzling vista of cosmos within cosmos. Breathtakingly vast" - Locus / "Hypnotic resonances of Gene Wolfe and Jack Vance. A monumental book to be kept, reread and wondered at" - Susan Shwartz:- (original cost £4.99). Seller Inventory # 11.001.00493
