Books Update: Six From Simak
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’ve just added six novels by the multi-award winning author Clifford D Simak which we’ve not previously listed before. In time-honoured alphabetical order they are: A Choice Of Gods, Cosmic Engineers, Destiny Doll, Enchanted Pilgrimage, Shakespeare’s Planet and The Visitors. Simak’s aim was to root science fiction in scientific fact, without writing ‘hard’ SF, and accepting that it’s entirely possible that alien motivation and communication would be unintelligible to humans. The themes in these novels range from invasion of the Earth (The Visitors), the effect of depopulation on the Earth (A Choice Of Gods), a quest involving goblins, gnomes and witches (Enchanted Pilgrimage), strange planets (Destiny Doll and Shakespeare’s Planet) and a plucky band of humans attempting to save the Universe (Cosmic Engineers). All guaranteed to be a cracking read!
