Beschreibung

Earth has become a library planet for thousands of years, a bastion of both useful and useless knowledge-esoterica of all types, history, science, politics-gathered by teams of "pack rats" who scour the galaxy for any scrap of information. Knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth, and knowledge can be a weapon. As powerful dictators come and go over the course of history, the cadre of dedicated librarians is sworn to obey the lawful government . . . and use their wits to protect the treasure trove of knowledge they have collected over the millennia.

Über den Autor

Frank Herbert was an American science fiction writer best known for Dune, one of the most influential novels in the history of the genre. Born in 1920, Herbert worked as a journalist, photographer, editor, and lecturer before becoming one of the defining speculative writers of the twentieth century. His fiction is known for its ecological imagination, political complexity, religious and cultural systems, psychological tension, and deep interest in how human beings respond to power, environment, and long-range consequence.Before Dune made his reputation worldwide, Herbert wrote short fiction that already showed his interest in perception, adaptation, alien intelligence, and the limits of human certainty. "Missing Link" reflects that early strength, using contact with the alien and the unknown as a way to test human assumptions. Herbert remains essential reading for fans of classic science fiction, ecological SF, planetary adventure, political speculation, and stories of civilization under pressure.
