    Extractions: Sylvia Louise Engdahl, Star Trek and Science Fiction Carol Littlejohn ). Next, her techniques of using the characters and plot to express her philosophy will be discussed as well as her unique contribution to young adult literature. Perhaps a brief biography is necessary to explain how Engdahl became interested in science and in writing for young adults. Born in 1933, Engdahl graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara, and, after a short career as a teacher, Engdahl developed programs for air defense computers. She enjoyed the technical writing and was perhaps influenced by the successful young adult career of her mother, Mildred Allen Butler (Silvey, 1995, pp. 224-225 Engdahl's Philosophy Engdahl's novels are labeled as science fiction but are certainly not traditional science fiction with stereotypical robots and ray-guns. Instead, Engdahl's plots are more concerned with scientific philosophy than technology. In a sense Engdahl's philosophy is similar to the philosophy of the Star Trek series, a television series that began in 1965, lasted only three years, but had already achieved cult status. The Star Trek series stresses the importance of space exploration in a highly complex universe; the space missions are always peaceful excursions into exploring the unknown. However, the crew from the Star Trek Enterprise are under orders not to assume an active role in changing alien civilizations. Engdahl's scientific philosophy is remarkably similar.

    Extractions: Sylvia Engdahl was born in Los Angeles and received her degree in 1955 from the University of California at Santa Barbara. After teaching for a short time, she switched to the then-new field of computer programming, starting as a trainee with the RAND Corporation (later the System Development Corporation), which was developing the SAGE Air Defense System. For ten years she did assembly-language systems and utility programming for SAGE, working at sites in Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and Washington State before returning to California, where she became a Computer Systems Specialist. In 1967 she left programming and moved to Portland, Oregon as companion to her elderly mother, a situation she chose both to get away from Southern California and to gain time for writing. She began her writing career as an award-winning author of science fiction for young people. Her first novel Enchantress from the Stars was a 1971 Newbery Honor Book and winner of the Children's Literature Association's 1990 Phoenix Award, given “from the perspective of time” to the best book for children published in the year 20 years prior to the award date—however, the book is enjoyed by many adult readers, as are her five later novels for more mature Young Adults. She has also written nonfiction for young people, and is currently concentrating on a major adult nonfiction project.

    Extractions: ALIEN CONTACT 50 Inhalt Science Fiction Alien Contact Buch-Tips »Ein richtiges Kind war ich noch, wie ich dastand an der Schwelle zu meinem ersten neuen Planeten, vollkommen unbekümmert und in Erwartung aufregender Abenteuer.« Als Elana, ein Mitglied des Völkerbundes der Föderierten das erste Mal Andresia betritt, betrachtet sie die Erkundung neuer Welten mehr oder minder als ein Spiel. Bald muss sie jedoch lernen, dass es um viel mehr geht: Sie trifft auf Menschen, die genauso empfinden wie sie selbst - Frühweltler, die aus ihrer Sicht im tiefsten Mittelalter leben, aber noch jede Chance auf Fortschritt haben. Dieses Recht wird allerdings von einer technisch weit fortgeschritten, aber ziemlich aggressiven Rasse in Frage gestellt. Elanas Vater und ihr Freund Evrek wurden ausgesandt, die Kolonialisierung Andresias zu verhindern. Da Elana sich heimlich an Bord der Landefähre geschlichen hat, ist auch sie mit von der Partie. Elana erfährt schnell, dass es nicht ausreicht, einer geistig hoch entwickelten Rasse anzugehören, wenn man in Kontakt mit Frühweltlern tritt. Offene Einmischung in die Angelegenheiten auf Andresia hätte gravierende Folgen für die beiden anderen Kulturen. So kommt es, dass Elana den Einheimischen helfen muss, ohne ihre tatsächliche Herkunft preis zu geben. Dabei muss sie ein Volk schützen, das noch an Drachen und Magie glaubt. Ihre Gefühle für den jungen Andresianer Georyn machen die Sache nicht leichter ...

35. Sylvia Louise Engdahl: Enchantress From The Stars - An Infinity Plus Review
    Enchantress from the Stars by sylvia Louise engdahl foreword by Lois Lowry illustratedby Leo Diane Dillon (Walker, $18.95, 288 pages, hardback; originally  
    http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfiction/enchantress.htm
    
    Extractions: (Walker, $18.95, 288 pages, hardback; originally published 1970; this edition April 2001.) Right at the outset this reviewer should confess to having had a long-term love affair with this novel. In 1971 I was sent from the UK on a six-week business trip to the USA, going to various cities. As one does, I picked up fistfuls of disposable paperbacks along the way, most of which got left in anonymous hotel rooms after serving as forgettable mind-fodder. One of them that I picked up, assuming it would be just a way of passing a lonely evening and probably better than American television, was the Atheneum paperback of Enchantress from the Stars . I can still vividly remember my astonishment on discovering I think the view outside the hotel window was downtown Boston that this was much more than the standard crud. Rather, it was a beautifully written and beautifully conceived book, one of the best sf novels I'd ever read all the more remarkable, perhaps, in that it was obviously intended for older children rather than adults. It was one of the few books that travelled home with me to the UK, where I naively expected my peer group to be buzzing about it, on the everybody-else-already-knows-about-this-marvel-except-me principle.

36. Sylvia Engdahl: Children Of The Star - An Infinity Plus Review
    Children of the Star by sylvia engdahl (Meisha Merlin, $20.00, 721 pages, paperback;first published 1972, 1973, 1981; this edition January 2000.).  
    http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfiction/children.htm
    
    Extractions: (Meisha Merlin, $20.00, 721 pages, paperback; first published 1972, 1973, 1981; this edition January 2000.) This volume contains the three novels This Star Shall Abide Beyond the Tomorrow Mountains and The Doors of the Universe Many generations ago, the home star of the human species that had evolved on the Six Worlds went nova, vaporizing the six inhabited planets of that solar system and almost completely extinguishing that human species. (Excuse the cumbersome language. Engdahl makes plain that this human culture is not ours it has evolved separately.) Largely because of antiscientism, the species was unprepared for this disaster. A small colony had been established on a planet of another solar system, but only fragilely so: there are elements within the ecosystem that are antipathetic to human life, while in the far past the world has been stripped of its few metals by an alien species. Shortly before the nova a scientific party was sent to bolster this colony and to preserve the human species however they could, despite the hostility of the colonized planet. That this dream of synthesizing metals is a false one becomes clear in the time of Noren, a village lad who cannot tolerate the foundations upon which this society is based. Convicted of being a heretic, he is passed to the City where the Scholars dwell; he anticipates that he will suffer torture and worse, yet feels that this is a small price to pay for the retention of his honesty. To his astonishment, he discovers that the words of the Prophecy of the Star, the keystone of the religious underpinning of it all, are literally true albeit misleading and, more important, are seemingly essential if this human species is to survive. He therefore goes through the ordeal of a public recantation of his heresy, thereby graduating to become a Scholar.
