The Ler trilogy by M.A. Foster
Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.04 MB
Overview: M.A. Foster is an American author whose writing career spanned only a decade, but during that time he published eight books of a high standard. His work is characterized by an attention to cultural and linguistic detail which is reminiscent of the works of Jack Vance. Sadly these books have been out of print for many years, but all eight have now been lovingly restored to bring these little-known gems to the wider audience they deserve.
Genre: Science Fiction
1. The Gameplayers of Zan. The ler had been genetically crafted to be a new race of supermen, and the experiment had not been entirely successful. They were superior to normal humans in certain ways, but all too human in others. Grudgingly, suspiciously, the overpopulated billions of Earth alloted the families of the ler a special reservation — a last wilderness area where they could live their odd lives, contribute their brilliant talents to humanity’s desperate needs — and yet be under constant surveillance. For the ler the situation was precarious and their future dubious. And with the disappearance of a ler girl outside the reservation, the explosion point had been reached.
2. The Warriors of Dawn. The human race was now divided into two species. One had created the other. For normal humans, experimenting in forced evolution, had produced the ler, a kind of supermen race – but pacifistic and contemplative. The ler fled from the turbulent worlds of homo sapiens, and had established their own quiet colonies on other planets. This made it all the more inexplicable when reports were received of fierce planetary marauders, looting and burning, who came of ler ancestry. The existence of barbarian lers was a contradiction in terms. And the search for the factors which produced them was to take a human male and a ler female on an expedition into strange worlds and hitherto unsuspected systems.
3. The Day of the Klesh. His name was Meure and he hired out on an alien ship to see the universe. There were ler aboard that vessel — transmuted humans who were partial supermen — and specifically there was the ler girl Flerdestar who had a mission. When Meure and Flerdestar were marooned on the world called Monsalvat, they were confronted by a planetary enigma involving time and space. For Monsalvat had a myriad human species, all alien to each other, and all in awe of the Mystery that doinated their isolated planet.
