When Kundalimon, a human who has lived with the hjjk for seventeen years, arrives as an emissary of peace, the tribes are wary. They rely on Nialli Apuilana, who had been stolen at thirteen by the hjjk and released months later, to ascertain his true mission. But in this new world, it’s hard to know whom to trust. As both sides prepare for war, the fate of the planet hangs in the balance.  The Queen of Springtime is the second book of the New Springtime series, which begins with At Winter’s End.  This ebook features an illustrated biography of Robert Silverberg including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection, as well as a detailed outline for the final, unrealized title in the New Springtime series, The Summer of Homecoming.

    Author

    Robert Silverberg

    Robert Silverberg, born on January 15, 1935, in Brooklyn, New York, is a towering figure in the realm of science fiction and fantasy literature. A prolific writer, Silverberg's career spans over six decades, during which he has penned more than 100 novels and countless short stories. His work is renowned for its intricate plots, rich character development, and profound explorations of human nature and societal issues. Silverberg burst onto the literary scene in the 1950s, quickly establishing himself as a versatile and innovative writer. His early works, often published under various pseudonyms, showcased his ability to blend hard science fiction with deeply philosophical questions. By the 1960s, Silverberg had become a central figure in the New Wave movement, which sought to push the boundaries of the genre, incorporating experimental styles and more mature themes. One of Silverberg's most significant contributions is his exploration of the human psyche and identity. His novel "Dying Inside" (1972), which delves into the life of a telepath losing his powers, is often cited as a masterpiece for its raw emotional depth and existential inquiry. Silverberg's work has not been without controversy; his candid treatment of sexuality and psychological trauma has sparked debate, yet it has also paved the way for more open discussions in speculative fiction. Silverberg's influence on contemporary writers is profound. Authors such as George R.R. Martin and Neil Gaiman have cited him as an inspiration, particularly for his ability to weave complex narratives that challenge readers' perceptions. A multiple Hugo and Nebula Award winner, Silverberg's legacy is cemented not just in his prolific output but in his relentless pursuit of literary innovation and his willingness to tackle the most profound questions of existence.
