    Extractions: Deserted By My Enemies: Vengeance as a Theme in the Writings of Jack Vance part 1 - Introduction and the Demon Princes novels to part 2 - Other Science Fiction by Vance to part 3 - Vance's Fantasy version of 02 : all links checked on 12/21/03, or later. When any one of these documents is revised, I change the date. If you haven't read a Vance book, but plan to, and don't want to know what happens in advance, perhaps you should stop reading. However, I don't think Vance is much read for his plots, and you can read all of these documents without getting much of Vance's wonderful way with words, or his wit. Read on, then, if you wish! This is an unfinished document. It could stand re-writing, and it doesn’t treat all of Vance’s fantastic fiction. I am working on a comparison with Patricia A. McKillip , another important writer of fantastic fiction who uses vengeance as an important theme. I am also in the process of comparing Vance with Robert Silverberg , also an important writer of fantastic fiction. More could certainly be done with the philosophy and theology of vengeance, including trying to categorize what happens to Vance's characters when confronted with a provocation to carry out vengeance. Notwithstanding these deficiencies, the document, as it is, may be of value to someone, so I am posting it in its present form. I intend to revise it from time to time. I thank Southern Wesleyan University , where I am a Professor of Science, (not literature!) for computer facilities, and for obtaining an important reference for me through inter-library loan. SWU is not responsible for the ideas presented, the accuracy of the document, or the content of the hyperlinks. I would appreciate any suggestions or corrections.

    Extractions: Main Page See live article Alphabetical index John Holbrook Vance (b. August 28 ) is generally described as an American fantasy and science fiction author , although Vance himself objects to the label . He writes under his own name and the pseudonyms Jack Vance , John Holbrook, Ellery Queen , Alan Wade, Peter Held, and John van See. He won Hugo Awards in 1963 (for The Dragon Masters ) and 1967 (for The Last Castle ), a Nebula Award in 1966 (also for The Last Castle ), a Jupiter Award in 1975, the World Fantasy Award in 1990, and the SFWA Grand Master Award in 1996. He has written over sixty books, a number with a common mythos, notably the Dying Earth series (seven novels, 1950-84), the Demon Princes series (five novels, 1964-81), the Tschai series (also known as Planet of Adventure series, five novels, 1968-84), the Durdane trilogy (including book 1 The Anome ), and four or so other series. An exhaustive list of his works can be found at http://www.jackvance.com/. Most of Jack Vance's science fiction novels are pretty straight adventure stories featuring an extremely competent and sometimes ruthless protagonist, such as Adam Reid in the Tschai series, or Kirth Gersen in the Demon Princes series. And Cugel the Clever, the protagonist of many of the Dying Earth stories, is not only ruthless, but utterly immoral. The main attraction of Vance's novels, however, is the meticulous detail and the precise, florid language in which exotic cultures are described. The model of spellcasting introduced in

    Extractions: Ryan's Book Reviews Vance, Jack - Emphyrio (1969) -A- -B- -C- -D- ... 5 Happy Faces Great science fiction novel! Summary: Though it takes some time, Amiante’s death ultimately leads Ghyl to rebel against the Welfare system. Joining his free-thinking friends, he decides to take matters into his own hands by kidnapping some of the lords for ransom and stealing their space yacht. The plan works, minus the ransom, until Ghyl’s friends turn on him. But Ghyl is quick enough to end the betrayal in a stand off that is only resolved when Ghyl and the lords are deserted on a remote world. Thus begins Ghyl’s real adventure as he attempts to discover who the real Emphyrio was. While on this new planet, Ghyl happens to see one of his father’s carvings. But the price on it is lower than what Amiante was paid. Ghyl, surprised, enters the shop and asks the shopkeeper why. As it turns out, the original carving is priceless and in a museum. This replica is priced at almost the amount Amiante received. Ghyl realizes that he and the other tradesman of Ambroy have been swindled, receiving only pennies for their work when it is actually worth millions. Ghyl then learns that a corporation has a monopoly on the goods produced by Ghyl’s home world. Seeing an opportunity to help his people, Ghyl sets up a plot to undermine the monopoly and with luck pulls it off. He sells the merchandise, creating for himself and his accomplices a tremendous fortune. He then uses the money to discover the truth about the legend of Emphyrio.

    Extractions: Ryan's Book Reviews Vance, Jack - The Last Castle (1966) -A- -B- -C- -D- ... 5 Happy Faces Great science fiction novel! Summary: Additionally, there are some humans that live outside of the castles. These humans are made up of two groups. The majority are humans that survived the devastation wreaked on Earth thousands of years earlier that forced humanity to flee. The rest are peasants that have tired of working for the lords. They are primarily nomadic and don’t have much technology. The lords spend most of their days acting like nobility – they eat, drink, study, and enjoy art and shows. They do no work and their primary concerns are their phane pets and their sexual partners. Occasionally they will go hunting, but that is only interesting for some of the lords. Everything seems perfect, to the lords, until… The Meks decide one day to walk out. But this isn’t an ordinary protest, the Meks have something different in mind. The Meks then began sacking the castles, killing all of the inhabitants. It is eventually revealed that the Meks have decided they are tired of serving the lords, but instead of asking the lords to return them to their planet (which wouldn’t be very likely), the Meks decide they like Earth better, so in order for them to have it to themselves, they have decided to kill all the humans. Well, most of the castles fall relatively quickly. Castle Janeil, the second to last castle, is well-fortified, but the Meks figure out how to destroy it too and that is how the book opens. The Last Castle, Castle Hagedorn, is the most well-fortified and the inhabitants are fairly certain the Meks cannot defeat them. In fact, they are so certain that they have nothing to worry about that they don’t actually do anything to prepare for the attack, with the exception of two of the lords, Xanten and Claghorn, who leave the castle and join the humans outside. The rest of the lords of Castle Hagedorn continue on as if nothing is amiss. They complain that they have to do certain things for themselves, but they will not demean themselves to the point of doing manual labor or anything else to defend themselves. They are so prideful that they would rather die than take up tools or arms, which they see as beneath them.

71. Jack Vance In The 25th Century -- And Beyond - Infinity Plus Non-fiction
    jack vance in the 25th Century and Beyond a feature by Peter D Tillman. Elsewhere in infinity plus fiction Green Magic by jack vance.  
    http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfiction/lyonesse.htm
    
    Extractions: ***Get these books back in print!!*** Rating: "A+". Lyonesse is, I think, Vance's masterpiece: a mannered, leisurely faux-historical fantasy, set in the mythical Elder Isles (south of Ireland and west of France) at about the time of Uther Pendragon. "The dark musings of Suldrun's Garden shade into the exuberant colours of The Green Pearl and then into the more intimate amusements of Madouc , in a sequence that, more than any other work of the 1980s, fulfils the true high potentials of the Fantasy genre." I'm rereading Lyonesse if you've missed it, you have a wonderful treat in store and, aside from reminding you of the beauty and grace of this masterwork, it strikes me that Lyonesse could be reinterpreted as science fiction say, along the lines of Gene Wolfe's SF-as-fantasy works, or indeed Vance's "true" SF:

    Extractions: Jack Vancen Ihmisen paluu Jack Vancea Ihmisen paluu Ihmisen paluu Markku Sadelehto todistaa suomentajan, Matti Rosvallin Esimerkiksi kirjan niminovelli rakentuu muutamalle surrealistiselle kohtaukselle maailmassa, jonka materia on kadottanut kausaliteetin. "Ihmisen paluu" aloitetaan lohduttoman kauniilla kuvalla evoluutiostaan alas kapuavasta humanoidista: "Reliikki laskeutui hälyä pitämättä alas halkeamaa, lysy, luiseva olento, jolla oli kidutetun katse." Oma suosikkini kirjassa on novelli "Kuunkoi", joka on eksoottinen yhdistelmä naamionäytelmää ja dekkaria. Vieraaseen maailmaan lähettilääksi joutuneita ihmispoloja scifi on esitellyt ennenkin, mutta "Kuunkoi" käyttää muutamassa sivussa romaanin mittaiset ainekset. Miten löytää rikollinen maailmasta, jossa kaikki käyttävät naamioita? Entä jos kommunikaatio edellyttää oikeiden instrumenttien taiteellista hallintaa?
