Synopsis
MYSTERIES FROM TWO SCIENCE FICTION MASTERS Randall Garrett (1927-1987) and Robert Silverberg, two of the greatest writers of science fiction, were also accomplished mystery writers. A Little Intelligence collects their best mystery short stories, all written in the 1950's, mostly under the joint pseudonym of Robert Randall. With many of them set in future, the stories explore the topics of morality, theology, and humanity within their mysteries. Included are the quandaries of Father Riley, Catholic priest, a scientist and a military officer, who grapples with the decision to use a machine which can see into the future; a challenge facing Sister Mary Magdalen, who must contend with interspecies rivalry among alien races in order to solve a murder, and the problem of a smuggled (and lively) mummy. The seven stories will leave you thinking long after the mystery is revealed. Introduction by Robert Silverberg., In the 1950s, acclaimed SF authors Silverberg and Garrett wrote mystery-themed short stories under the joint pseudonym of Robert Randall, and seven of them are collected in this engaging volume. All the stories are well-written and display the imagination evidenced in the author's individual work. There's something for most tastes, including the hilarious "The Mummy Takes a Wife." For many readers the high points will be the three tales mixing science fiction, mystery and theological elements. In "No Future in This" and "Deus ex Machina," the discovery of a device that can predict the future places a great moral burden on Father Sean Riley, who's uniquely able to use it. Father Brown fans, and those who remember Anthony Boucher's Sister Ursula stories fondly, will be delighted by the title story, in which Sister Mary Magdalene must solve the murder of an alien. Both SF and mystery readers will hope that more of these tales will be reprinted in the future. Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
