Overview: This eBook, an unofficial omnibus edition of Michael Coney’s Pallahaxi series, contains: Hello Summer, Goodbye and I Remember Pallahaxi.
01. Hello Summer, Goodbye, first published in 1975, is a minor classic of the SF field.
Set on a planet whose elliptical orbit creates intense summers and long, cold winters, it tells of the love between Drove and the girl Pallahaxi-Browneyes, whose affair is set against civil war and the dread approach of winter. It’s also a brilliant depiction of an alien world, with bizarre tidal effects and even stranger native creatures.
As Coney states in the Author’s Note: "This is a love story, and a science-fiction story, and more besides." It’s also a beautifully-written, lyrical adventure story with one of the finest closing lines in the genre.
02. I Remember Pallahaxi is the previously unpublished sequel to Michael Coney’s classic Hello Summer, Goodbye.
Set hundreds of years after the events recounted in Hello, I Remember Pallahaxi is a mystery story: a murder mystery on one level, and on another level a mystery about the origins of the native aliens. It’s also a critique of colonialism; for the human race has arrived on the alien homeworld, with fatal consequences.
As lyrical and lovingly envisioned as Hello Summer, Goodbye, I Remember Pallahaxi not only continues but expands the story of life on a far-flung world where many things are familiar, but others are totally bizarre.
