Fredric Brown Libri
Fredric Brown fu un autore americano di fantascienza e mistero, celebrato per la sua audace sperimentazione narrativa all'interno della narrativa di genere. Sebbene non abbia mai raggiunto una grande popolarità durante la sua vita, Brown ha coltivato un significativo seguito di culto che continua a scoprire il suo lavoro. La sua scrittura è caratterizzata da un approccio non convenzionale alla narrazione, che spesso esplora colpi di scena inaspettati e gli aspetti più oscuri della natura umana. Influenzato dal suo passato di giornalista, lo stile di Brown è conciso e d'impatto, offrendo un'esperienza di lettura intensa e indimenticabile.

A world had collapsed around this man -- a world that would never shout his praises again. The burned-out cities were still and dead, the twisted bodies and twisted souls giving him their last salute in death. And now he was alone, alone surrounded by memories, alone and waiting . . . Sometimes the queerly shaped Venusian trees seemed to talk to him, but their voices were soft. They were loyal people. There were four men in the lifeboat that came down from the space-cruiser. Three of them were still in the uniform of the Galactic Guards.
