Список книг автора Pamela SargentPuss in D.C. and Other Stories
Pamela Sargent's latest collection assembles 10 of her recent stories, including «Puss in D.C.,» «Strawberry Birdies,» and «A Smaller Government,» showing why she's one of the most popular authors currently writing science fiction today.<P> From the introduction by Eleanor Arnason: «Sargent has a quality usually associated with hard SF: a certain kind of intellectual rigor. With her, it carries through all of her work. She thinks things through. … Notice, when you read this collection, how many different kinds of stories are here and notice the range of moods: the stories go from really funny to really dark, with a lot in between. … I also want to mention Sargent's persistence. Writing is a hard life. Many good woman writers I admired in the 1970s, '80s and '90s have vanished. They stopped writing or stopped trying to sell their fiction or changed their names and moved to writing romance, gay romance, generic fantasy – whatever they could sell. In one way or another, they were silenced. Sargent has kept doing thoughtful, serious fiction, dealing with the issues that interested her.»

Dream of Venus and Other Science Fiction Stories
Pamela Sargent published the first novel in her «Venus» trilogy, Venus of Dreams, in 1986; it was followed by Venus of Shadows (1988) and Child of Venus (2001). For the first time, Dream of Venus collects the short fiction set against the backdrop of the author's Venus novels, comprising four stories written after the trilogy had been completed. As Sargent writes in her Introduction: «Characters and stories existing in the interfaces of the novels began to speak to me.» These are tales that can be enjoyed both for themselves and by longtime fans of the Venus trilogy.
