Description

Cooper’s works successfully combine: an interesting plot with rich possibilities for action, well-chosen images of the main characters—perhaps not the brightest, but very believable and convincing—serious moral and ethical problems, and a vivid world in which the action takes place. In other words, everything needed for a truly good work. Recommended for those who want to read classic SF with a humanistic bent.

“Transit” — a solitary painting teacher, Richard Avery, lives only in the present and continues to remember what he had in the not-too-distant past. There was a woman he loved, and then he lived and worked with pleasure. Now he simply drifts with the current. On a walk in a London park, he notices some shiny crystals on the ground and bends down to look more closely… and his curiosity turns into a cosmic journey and incredible adventures on a deserted unknown planet.
