In der fernen Zukunft der Erde...Die Menschen leben in über-technisierten Kuppelstädten inmitten einer lebensfeindlichen Wüste. Es scheint ein Paradies zu sein, in dem alles in verschwenderischer Fülle vorhanden ist. Nur der Sinn des Lebens ist verlorengegangen. Die Bewohner frönen dem Nichtstun, orientieren sich an bizarren Mode-Torheiten und jagen jedem nur erdenklichen Nerven- und Sinneskitzel hinterher.

Auch das Leben selbst und der menschliche Körper sind zu simplen, austauschbaren Konsumgütern geworden: Körper und Geschlecht können beliebig gewechselt werden, Selbstmord zu begehen ist zu einer Art Sport geworden, und Sabotage-Akte gegen die Kuppelstadt - die niemals gelingen - helfen, die Zeit zu vertreiben.Eine junge Frau ist dieses Lebens überdrüssig. Aber es scheint nur einen Weg zu geben, sich der erdrückenden Fürsorge des Gemeinwesens zu entziehen. Und dieser Weg führt in die Einsamkeit und die irreparable Tödlichkeit der Wüste...Beiß nicht in die Sonne - nach Trinkt den Saphirwein Tanith Lees zweiter Vier BEE-Roman - gehört zu den wenigen Scince-Fiction-Romanen der Autorin und ist ein Kabinettstückchen auf dem schmalen Grat zwischen Satire und Dystopie.

In een wereld waar de aarde geen bol was en demonen in ijzeren paleizen onder de grond leefden, bevond zich de Onderaarde, met de Rivier van de Slaap en de stad Druhim Vanashta. Hier heerste Azhrarn, de Prins der Demonen en een van de Heren der Duisternis, die zowel gruwelen als wonderen kon brengen. Zijn tegenhanger, Uhlume, de zwarte meester van de Dood, regeerde de vreugdeloze Binnenaarde, waar slechts een koud grijs licht scheen en de bomen van steen waren. Uhlume's dienaren waren de zielen van mensen die zich eeuwen geleden aan hem hadden verkocht voor een onschatbare gunst. Een van deze zielen was Merh, de luipaardkoningin van Narasen, die haar maagdelijkheid aan een dode jongen schonk om haar verwoeste land te herstellen. Uit deze verbintenis werd een bizar kind geboren, dat na de dood van zijn moeder verstoten werd en door twee demonische onderdanen van Azhrarn werd opgenomen. Ze gaven hem de naam Simmu. Hiermee begint een nieuwe cyclus van mythologische vertellingen vol heroïek en erotiek, die het stormachtige leven van de betoverende jonge Simmu chronikeren.

He was a man in grave danger, convinced only one man alive could help him. A man he had heard about in song and story. A man practically everyone knew something about. A man he had never met. CYRION Some said he was the stolen son of a western king, raised by nomads in the desert. A freelance swordsman, a sorcerer, a master of disguise, some said he attracted bizarre, uncanny events as some persons attract misfortune.

Nadat hij gedood is door de god Zezeth wordt de held Leowulf verbannen naar een ijzige onderwereld, verlicht door een bleekblauwe zon.

It never pays to flout enchantresses, even unwittingly, as poor King Minus discovered when he forgot to ask his aunt (or cousin) Maligna to the birthday feast for Prince Jasleth and Princess Goodness. She came all the same, bringing such nasty gifts that Princess Goodness was reduced to total silliness, the kingdom to near beggary, and Prince Jasleth found himself dispatched to seek his fortune despite an embarrassing habit of changing into a raven unexpectedly for an hour each day. How Jasleth managed to join Prince Fearless and his hundred rowers in their quest for the Dragon Hoard, how Maligna pursued them with many a fiendish wile, how the questors met an alarming assortment of her repulsive friends and wicked acquaintances (and some more foolish than wicked like the ten-foot mermaid queen, Emeraldis), how at every step doom was narrowly averted, and how a happy ending (naturally) wound it all up, makes this helter-skelter romantic adventure story at once richly comic and most amazingly and agreeably inventive.

Arrow: 'Buitengewoon ... van een adembenemende grootsheid'.

"Eens, op een berg, noemden ze u naar de schaduw en de donkere steen en de dennen aan de voet. En een knaap kwam daar.

Che Tanith Lee sia una delle migliori scrittrici che vanti la Narrativa di Fantascienza e Fantasy, è un assunto ormai ampiamente acquisito dalla critica e dai lettori. In questo volume poi, oltre ai temi propri della Fantascienza e della Fantasy, la nostra autrice inserisce delle valenze horror che si amalgamano stupendamente con le altre, dando vita a un narrato che avvince dalla prima all'ultima pagina. Siccome la suspense che pervade lo scritto sfocia nella scoperta finale che costituisce il punto di forza di tutta la narrazione, onde non rendervi un cattivo servigio, ci asterremo dal dirvi qual è l'iter delle avventure che si susseguono a un ritmo veramente febbrile. Sappiate comunque che ci troviamo di fronte a una vera vampira e che..

Der Planet hatte keine Rotation. Auf der einen Hälfte herrschte ewiger Tag, durchglüht von einer ständig im Zenith stehenden Sonne, die kein organisches Leben gedeihen ließ. Die andere Hälfte brütete in ewiger Nacht, die nur vom kalten Funkeln unendlich ferner Sterne erhellt wurde. Dort hatte sich eine Zivilisation entwickelt.

Aber konnte es nicht so sein, dass auf der Tagseite tatsächlich eine Zivilisation existierte und dass Ereignisse bevorstanden, die beide Welten in eine gemeinsame Katastrophe stürzen ließen?
