Alexander Jablokov Ordre des livres (chronologique)
Alexander Jablokov écrit de la science-fiction pour les lecteurs qui ne veulent pas renoncer à une écriture soignée ou à des personnages vivants pour obtenir les sensations fortes qu'ils recherchent. Il constitue une transition naturelle pour les lecteurs non initiés à la science-fiction qui s'intéressent à une promenade avec une IA dangereuse ou un neurochirurgien/musicien de jazz devenu détective, tout en offrant aux fans de science-fiction les plus avertis des éclairs spéculatifs, des extraterrestres incompréhensibles et des appareils ménagers dotés d'ailes d'insectes. Son œuvre couvre l'espionnage interplanétaire dans des sociétés futures complexes et des explorations bizarres de space opera.

"Darkly suave competence" is how The Encyclopedia of Science Fiction refers to Jablokov's first novel, Carve the Sky, and the phrase could easily apply to many of the stories in this, Jablokov's first short story collection. Ranging from time travel to artificial intelligence, Jablokov covers a lot of ground in the ten stories here, although readers will quickly notice recurring themes both of art and self-identity amidst colorful, retro-decadent future worlds. Although his technique and consistency vary, Jablokov shows with his powerful, dynamic prose that he's a writer worth watching.Contents:The Breath of Suspension (1991)Living Will (1991)Many Mansions (1988)The Death Artist (1990)At the Cross-Time Jaunters' Ball (1987)Above Ancient Seas (1992)Deathbinder (1988)The Ring of Memory (1989)Beneath the Shadow of Her Smile (1985)A Deeper Sea (1989)
