About this series

Nebula Award–winning author: Humans have emerged to reclaim the Earth after the Long Winter. But they never anticipated the battle that awaits . . .
 
As Earth thaws after the Long Winter, the remaining human tribes journey from beneath the continent to the fertile land above. But the hjjk, an ancient insectlike race that remained on Earth’s surface throughout the frozen eons, stand in their way. Keeping a tight grip on their power, the hjjks are the chief barrier to the people’s further expansion in the New Springtime. 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.

    This far-future sci-fi saga by a multiple Hugo and Nebula Award–winning Grand Master chronicles the perilous rebirth of humanity on a destroyed Earth. Robert Silverberg’s critically acclaimed masterworks have earned him entry into the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame, and a place among the genre’s greatest legacies. This classic, two-book saga gazes into a world many millennia from now and spins a mesmerizing tale of survival, evolution, and the ultimate future of humanity.   At Winter’s End: For the past 700,000 years, the remaining inhabitants of planet Earth have survived underground, escaping the endless rain of “death stars” that destroyed their civilization—and the world. Now, with the surface finally inhabitable after countless millennia, one tribe’s leader is guiding her people to freedom. But unexpected threats and dark revelations could endanger their long-awaited rebirth.   The Queen of Springtime: Hidden below ground for millennia, the People have finally emerged to repopulate the Earth and reclaim their legacy as the dominant species. But the cold, insectile hjjk, who remained on Earth’s surface throughout the frozen eons, will not give up the world they inherited without a fight.   The New Springtime series is Robert Silverberg at his very best, showcasing the intelligence, ingenuity, humanism, and extraordinary talents that have won him four Hugo Awards, six Nebulas, and a host of other honors.

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.
