#114 A Thousand Worlds: Dying of the Light (1977) and Tuf Voyaging (1986) by George R.R. Martin
Manage episode 418593748 series 2812810
George R.R. Martin is easily one of the best-known, most successful, and wealthiest genre writers still working today - albeit slowly.
While Martin is a giant of modern fantasy writing, even some of his ardent fans may not be aware that he first made an impact in science fiction. This episode first covers his debut novel from 1977, Dying of the Light. It's a gloomy, mournful story of lost love and personal obligations set on a dying, rogue planet. Next, I'll take a look at the very different Tuf Voyaging from 1986. A more light-hearted affair, it collects seven stories of eco-engineering, monstrous creatures, and witty dialogue, and cats.
