Produktinformationen zu „Goodbye, Muirsheen Durkin (ePub)“
A Gilligan's Island in outer space, a Lost on another planet, an extravagant satire in the spirit of Voltaire's Candide? Perhaps elements of all contribute to Kenneth Tucker's Farewell, MuirsheenDirken. In a society run by judges, in which all persons are judges but some judges are more equal than others, Winston Savage rebels by casting aside his number and choosing for himself a name. As a result he is banished to the mysterious Other Utopia on Saturn's moon Titan Along with him are other misfits, including a jester, a mock Robin Hood, and two bosomy .sex queens, Miss Silly Tuesday and Miss Tasty Pudding. Midway in their flight, news arrives that war has broken out between Earth and the planet Kargan, Jr. And the exiles are redirected to search the asteroid belt for the mysterious Sampo-a device of staggering power reputed to be able to grant boons as well as destroy worlds. Along the way, Savage and his fellows must confront saber-toothed kangaroos, the god Hermes, the ghost of a mad scientist, alien flying saucers, and other marvels as they seek the object that may create humankind's glory or its destruction.
Autoren-Porträt von Kenneth Tucker
Dr. Kenneth Tucker was born December 2, 1940, in Louisville, Kentucky. In 1970 he received his Ph. D. from the University of Kentucky and was employed by Murray State University. He specialized in teaching Shakespeare and literature of the English Renaissance. He has written articles on diverse writers and continues to write reviews for The Shakespeare Newsletter. Upon retiring, Dr. Tucker has devoted himself to writing, producing Eliot Ness and the Untouchables and Shakespeare and Jungian Typology. Among his novels are A Wilderness of Tigers, based upon the savage rampage of Kentucky's Harpe brothers, The Grave and the Figure Eight, a retelling of the Tristan-Isolde story set in Kentucky, and The Fall of the House of Spade, a tale of murder and revenge set in Western Kentucky. A Kentucky Colonel in King Arthur's Court is a very different sort of novel, a comical fantasy, as is its sequel A Kentucky Colonel in Darkest Africa. Among his more recent books are Hell is Where the Heart Is, a spoof of university administrations; The Player Gods, a dark fantasy, combining the hardboiled detective novel with dreamlike bizarre events; and A Spider Spinning Daydreams, and other tales¿bizarre, realistic, humorous and weird. A Kentucky Colonel in Wagner Land completes the "Hal Morgan" or "the Kentucky Colonel series" of comic fantasy novels. . Farewell, Muirsheen Durkin is a combination of spoof, parody. nonsense and humor and satire set in a futuristic world.
