Murray Leinster Unternehmen Zeittunnel Science Fiction SF Personality Unternehmen Zeittunnel ist nicht gerade ein Glanzlicht der Science Fiction, aber der erste Teil des Romans liest sich durchaus flüssig. Der Autor Murray Leinster schrieb diesen Titel nach der im Vorjahr gestarteten Fernsehserie Time Tunnel The Time Tunnel Irwin Allen . Der Anfang ist nahezu identisch mit der Pilotfolge Wiedersehen mit der Vergangenheit Rendezvous mit der Vergangenheit Rendevouz with Yesterday Time-Tunnel -Folgen Die letzte Patrouille The Last Patrol ) oder Das Massaker Massacre ) auf. Leinster arbeitet insbesondere die Idee aus, daß die Zeitreisenden die Vergangenheit gar nicht verändern können, denn es stellt sich immer wieder heraus, daß ihre Einmischung im Einklang mit den historischen Tatsachen steht (die Leinster offenbar sehr sorgfältig recherchiert hat). So retten sie die junge Julie Bowen vor der Johnstown-Flut, die sich daraufhin als Großmutter von Senator Clark erweist. Mögliche Zeitparadoxa lösen sich somit durch die Eigendynamik der Geschichte auf. Dieser Titel ist übrigens nicht identisch mit Leinsters Roman Time Tunnel (ohne The !), der bereits 1964 erschien und aus dem

A Logic Named Joe by Murray Leinster Review by Robert Wilfred Franson Astounding Science Fiction March 1946, pages 139-154 March 2001 I've read several times that the personal computer is an idea that science fiction did not predict. I wasn't quite in agreement with this, but hadn't taken time to research otherwise. The other day, my friend Bob Cooper reminded me of a science fiction short-story from 1946, "A Logic Named Joe", which I then reread. Note that this story appeared when computers were so rare they were individually-named projects at universities; and when television was still several years short of being found in more than a very few homes. Here's how "A Logic Named Joe" breezily starts: It was on the third day of August that Joe came off the assembly line, and on the fifth Laurine came into town, and that afternoon I saved civilization. That's what I figure anyhow. ... Some of Leinster's ideas, seamlessly introduced into this smooth little story: Desktop: Keyboards and vision screens Local logic processing Ordinary-language interface (not programming) Interactive customizable software Internet: Internet access from your desktop Country-wide networked databases (including video) on all topics Networked accounting software Television shows on desktop computers Real-time weather forecasts, stock quotes, etc.

First Contacts: The Essential Murray Leinster Review by Robert Wilfred Franson edited by Joe Rico NESFA Press New England Science Fiction Association Framingham, Massachusetts; 1998 464 pages October 2001 I'm not sure there can be any such thing as "the essential Murray Leinster" — the man wrote far too much science fiction for that, entertaining readers across half a century of writing beginning in 1919, and occasionally sparking ideas that broadened into new realms of speculation, widening the way we think about time or interstellar travel. Leinster wrote many stories for the slick-paper magazines such as The Saturday Evening Post, generally under his real name, Will F. Jenkins. First Contacts: The Essential Murray Leinster includes two dozen stories from 1934-1964: half from Astounding Science Fiction, two previously unpublished, two from the slick magazines, and the rest from other science fiction magazines. First Contacts takes its title from Leinster's famous 1945 novelet "First Contact", on the initial encounter between humans and an alien race, and more or less gathers stories on this theme. Many consider "First Contact" to be the story that defined "first contact" as a problem in the sense of a chess problem with a mostly-empty board and just a few pieces in tense juxtaposition. In this story, the situation is symmetric: a Terrestrial starship on a scientific exploration to the Crab Nebula meets an alien starship on a similar mission, with an equivalent level of technology. Should they

a list compiled by Alex Kasman Title: Sidewise in Time Author: Murray Leinster "The protagonist is a frustrated mathematician, whose genius (which Leinster makes some attempt to convey) is not recognized by his teachers and peers. So when reality goes blooey, and the mathematician is the only person to realize what is going on, he leaps at the opportunity to become a somebody in an alternative reality. At one point, when questioned why he is such a megalomaniac, he says rather matter of factly that it beats being a Jerkwater U math professor." (Contributed by William E. Emba.)

OPERATION ESPACE Par Murray Leinster Je savais Murray Leinster capable de produire des bons Space Operas, je découvre maintenant qu'il peut aussi faire de la m..... Non, je n'ai pas oublié de noter ce roman, c'est tout simplement qu'il ne mérite même pas une étoile. L'histoire en elle même est déjà peu intéressante mais il y a bien pire ; les personnages ont une psychologie de bas étage et leur description physique fait totalement défaut, les stéréotypes se ramassent à la pelle, la fin est bidon, les dialogues lamentables et les événements totalement irréalistes. En cherchant un peu, on pourrait certainement trouver encore plein de défauts mais je pense que ça en fait déjà assez. Un mot quand même sur l'histoire ? très court alors car elle ne vaut pas l'usure de mon clavier. Dans un contexte de surpopulation et de famine (à peine évoqué), un savant découvre un moyen de voyager dans les étoiles. Le personnage principal, réalisateur d'émissions télé part l'interviewer. Il finit par démissionner et monte la première expédition. Le reste est le récit du voyage, l'exploration succinte de trois planètes et le retour triomphal. Une dernière critique quand même, le personnage principal n'a qu'une idée en tête : l'argent. L'expédition est lancée uniquement dans un but lucratif. En soit c'est assez original puisque la SF parle très peu d'argent et ça aurait pu être un point positif mais ça induit une ambiance plutôt malsaine comme c'est toujours le cas dès qu'il est question de fric. Un seul point positif : ça fait toujours bien un vieux Fleuve Noir dans la bibliothèque !

L'AUTRE COTE DU MONDE Par Murray Leinster Un livre très classique au niveau des thèmes traités. On y trouve en effet une invasion de la terre et des mondes parallèles. Il s'agit plus d'un livre d'aventure que de réflexion, l'action étant omniprésente du début jusqu'à la fin. Au début du roman, la ville de Newark est frappée par un mystérieux fléau qui immobilise toute personne dans un certain rayon. Le personnage principal du livre est le seul à en réchapper avec sa fiancée. Les envahisseurs vont, à partir de cet instant, faire tout ce qui est en leur pouvoir pour empêcher ces personnes de divulguer les informations qu'ils possèdent aux autorités et lancer leur fléau sur tous les endroits où passe le héros. Ce dernier sera même pourchassé par les autorités qui pensent qu'il est à l'origine du mal qui frappe certaines villes des Etats-Unis. Le héros devra ainsi fuir tout le monde jusqu'à ce qu'il trouve une parade à l'arme des envahisseurs et puisse contrer leurs projets. Il s'agit là d'un bon livre (c'est dans les vieilles marmites qu'on fait les bonnes soupes) mais qui ne présente aucun caractère particulier. En d'autres termes, c'est bien mais il y a mieux.

They were first picked up in the South Pacific, just westward of the International Date Line. A satellite-watching station on an island named Kalua was the first to receive them, though nobody heard the first four or five minutes. But it is certain that the very first message was picked up and recorded by the monitor instruments. The satellite-tracking unit on Kalua was practically a duplicate of all its fellows. There was the station itself with a vertical antenna outside pointing at the stars. There were various lateral antennae held two feet aboveground by concrete posts. In the instrument room in the building a light burned over a desk, three or four monitor lights glowed dimly to indicate that the self-recording instruments were properly operating, and there was a multiple-channel tape recorder built into the wall. Its twin tape reels turned sedately, winding a brown plastic ribbon from one to the other at a moderate pace. The staff man on duty had gone to the installation's kitchen for a cup of coffee. No sound originated in the room, unless one counted the fluttering of a piece of weighted-down paper on the desk. Outside, palm trees whispered and rustled their long fronds in the southeast trade wind under a sky full of glittering stars. Beyond, there was the dull booming of surf upon the barrier reef of the island. But the instruments made no sound. Only the tape reels moved.

Ofwel in de zg. "Poema Pocket" reeks, ofwel als groot formaat Paperbacks, die opvallen door prachtig geillustreerde kaften en een goede technische staat.

80. Book Note: Murray Leinster, Med Ship Lynx enhanced Book Note murray leinster, Med Ship. I read this bookabout 1Aug-2002. I've read this book before. The book is copyright . http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/Ouroboros/booknotes/data/leinsterm-medship.html

Book Note: Murray Leinster, Med Ship This note does not contain major spoilers for the book. Webscription Another Webscriptions ebook. I've read most of the stories before at least, if not this exact collection of them. I really like the idea of the Med Service. Completely voluntary, no power to enforce, but so respected that they control medicine pretty well. I'm not sure I *believe* it, though; these days I'm too cynical about what people will believe. Of course, Med Ship Aesclipus Twenty encounters rather more than its share of extreme problems, but that's just par for the course in fiction. And it's not like he's hitting problems at the Kimball Kinnison level or anything. I've generally liked medical SF; James White, of course, and also Alan E. Nourse's Star Surgeon . (Did you know that he was a doctor? And that his last name is pronounced "nurse"?) The stories definitely have inconsistencies. The big one is how the "landing grid" (neat idea) is the only way for ships to get on and off planets, hence war is impossible except the Med Ship lands on rockets when necessary, and can get refueled anywhere it goes.
