Notă biografică

Jack Vance, pseudonimo di John Holbrook Vance (1916-2013), è stato uno scrittore statunitense, autore di romanzi fantasy e di fantascienza, benché Vance stesso abbia obiettato a questa definizione. Gode di una buona considerazione da parte di critici e colleghi, alcuni dei quali hanno suggerito che la sua opera trascende i limiti del genere e che dovrebbe essere considerato un importante scrittore secondo gli standard della letteratura mainstream.

Descriere

Together in one volume--three novels from the classic Demon Princes series. The Demon Princes are a race of beings who disguise themselves as humans and delight in power and destruction. The affairs of mere mortals mean little to them and their actions spell doom for millions. Keith Gersen is not a Demon Prince, but he's got a stake in finding five of them--the five who massacred his family and obliterated his planet.
