Sinopsis

Nathalie Charles Henneberg (1910-1977) remains a uniqueávoice in the history of French imaginative literature. This isáthe third volume of a multi-volume collection of her worksáto be released by Black Coat Press.áIn the first novel, The Light Barrier (1959) Humanity lives ináthe space age, but one last obstacle blocks its path to theástars: the light barrier. A cataclysm has shattered the satelliteábelt defending the Solar Federation. Yet a rocket returns,ácommanded by a charismatic stranger, Arno Heller... And onáEarth, Nan, a young girl gifted with strange powers, is seizedáwith terror, because she knows him, or rather she remembersáhim from the age of Atlantis...The second novel, Bellatrix Gamma (1959), tells theáadventures of four Earth astronauts whose ship has beenáthrown into the strange world of Bellatrix Gamma, where timeáand space seem to unmoored and where several species ofáhybrids between humans and animals, or even minerals,ácoexist and fight each other. They become involved in theástruggle between two of these, and one of them will fall in loveáwith an alien queen.Combining classic French and Golden Age American SFáreminiscent of Jack Williamson and Robert Heinlein, withá'Old World' literature, sagas and epics, her writing precedesáthe 'New Wave' of the 1960s and later mythopoetic spaceáoperas by Ursula K. Le Guin, Roger Zelazny, C.J. Cherryh,áPhilip Jose Farmer and Joan D. Vinge.á
