The Big Time Fritz Leiber - A war rages beyond space and time in this Hugo Awardwinning extraordinary tour de force from the acclaimed Master of Science Fiction and Fantasy (A Readers Guide to Science Fiction).Fritz Leiber (19101992) may be best known as a fantasy writer, but he published widely and successfully in the horror and science fiction fields. One of his major SF creations is the Change War, a series of stories and short novels about rival time-traveling forces locked in a bitter, ages-long struggle for control of the human universe where battles alter history and then change it again until there is no certainty about what might once have happened. The most notable work of the series is the Hugo Awardwinning novel The Big Time, in which doctors, entertainers, and wounded soldiers find themselves treacherously trapped with an activated atomic bomb inside the Place, a room existing outside of space-time. Leiber creates a tense, claustrophobic SF mystery, and a brilliant, unique locked-room whodunit.In addition to the Hugo, Nebula, Derleth, Lovecraft, and World Fantasy Awards, Fritz Leiber received the Grand Master of Fantasy (Gandalf) Award, the Life Achievement Lovecraft Award, and the Grand Master Nebula Award.

Quiso la fatalidad que Fafhrd, un corpulento bárbaro norteño, y el habilidoso Ratonero Gris (que aún no era el Ratonero, sino un mero Ratón) coincidieran en las calles de la decadente y seductora Lankhmar. Sellaron su amistad en las tabernas, y la busqueda de nuevos horizontes los hermano en peripecias sin cuento. Se toparon con los adversarios mas temibles, las muchachas mas deliciosas y los hechiceros mas diabolicos, asi como con bestias sobrenaturales y autenticos demonios. Juntos recorrieron las tierras maravillosas de Nehwon y cometieron mil fechorias a ambos lados de los muros de Lankhmar, pero nunca, nunca, nunca trabajaron como mercenarios.

Well, except for the odd balls and weirdos who insist on staying topside. Gusterson is one of these quirky ones. He is milked for new ideas by the less inventive moles as he calls them.
