Reseña del editor:
Contraportada:
When a peaceful nation of well-organized peasants is overrun by the army of an expanding industrialized neighbour, the people of Çiron must forge a pact with the strange and fearsome race of flying humans dwelling high above in the mountains.
In scenes of excellent bloodshed, the invaders are routed at the end – but the outcome is by no means obvious, despite the aid of a renegade invader, Lieutenant Kire, and, more significantly, of the winged people, regal, fierce, libidinous, leathery masters of the sky.
The gloriously strange fantasy world comes newly alive in Delany’s masterful prose – the setting was first used by him in 1962 in a short story. He nudges into the light many less than obvious truths about character. His unique talent for getting inside physical sensations and making them tangible with words, significant in shaping outlook, is much in evidence and ensures that the strategies employed by both sides in the bloody conflict are nailbitingly uncertain.
SURRENDER TO THE FORCES OF MYETRA!
A small pastoral village is invaded without warning by the armies of a distant empire sweeping across the world. Facing mortal danger for the first time in their history, the villagers must forge a pact with the strange and fearsome race of flying people dwelling high above in the mountains.
"'They Fly at Ciron' is vivid and succinct...the extraordinary clarity of detail that has always been his hallmark now serves the purpose of probing, mature, post-romantic mind busy investigating the nature of humanity, culture, nurture, nations and war"
LOCUS
"An extraordinarily satisfying experience"
