Valguse hääbumine. Orpheuse raamatukogu
George R. R. Martin, „Valguse hääbumine“„Troonide mängu“ saaga legendaarse autori George R. R. Martini (1948) debüütromaaniks oli 1977. aastal sünge kosmoseooper „Valguse hääbumine“, mis jõudis ilmumise järel kohe ulmekirjanduse prestiižikaima preemia – Hugo auhinna finalistide sekka ning kandideeris ka Briti Fantaasiaauhinnale.Hulkurplaneet Worlorn, mis ühegi tähesüsteemi juurde ei kuulu ja millel elavad kummalisi vanu kombeid austavad ning end aadellikuks pidavad kuritegelikud jõugud, on pikka aega püsinud kuue päikese juures, nüüd aga neist eemaldumas. Valguse aeg, pidustuste aeg on lõppemas, kui sellesse maailma satub seikleja Dirk t’Larien, kes otsib oma kunagist armastatut Gwen Delvanot, kuid satub manipuleerija lõksu ja osutub tahtmatult oluliste sündmuste vallandajaks. Tõlkinud Tatjana Peetersoo, kaanepilt Meelis Krošetskin. 366 lk. Sari: Orpheuse Raamatukogu. Kirjastus Fantaasia.
