Description:
The basis for the 1976 science fiction film staring David Bowie, Walter
Tevis's The Man Who Fell to Earth is included in this bundle with
two of the authors other science fiction novels, Mockingbird and The Steps of the Sun. Futuristic settings make the stark, grim
realities of his character's lives all the more startling.
The Man Who Fell to Earth:
Thomas Jerome Newton is an alien disguised as a human who comes to Earth on
a mission to save his people. Devastated by nuclear war, his home planet,
Anthea, is no longer habitable. Newton lands in Kentucky and starts
patenting Anthean technology, amassing the fortune he needs to build a
spaceship that will bring the last 300 Anthean survivors to Earth. But
instead of the help he seeks, he finds only self-destruction, sinking into
alcoholism, abandoning his spaceship, and can save neither his people nor
himself.
Mockingbird:
In a world where the human population has suffered devastating losses, a
handful of survivors cling to what passes for life in a post-apocalyptic,
dying landscape. A world where humans wander, drugged and lulled by
electronic bliss. A dying world of no children and no art, where reading is
forbidden. And a strange love triangle: Spofforth, who runs the world, the
most perfect machine ever created, whose only wish is to die; and Paul and
Mary Lou, a man and a woman whose passion for each other is the only hope
for the future of human beings on earth.
The Steps of the Sun:
In a world where America's power is rapidly being overshadowed by China's,
only one man has the wealth, resources, and courage to seek the mineral
resources his country needs to reclaim its greatness. Ben Belson, the
richest man in the world, lacks for nothing his wealth can buy-but he is
haunted by the memory of a barren and loveless childhood. When he travels
to the stars in search of the mineral wealth America needs, he finds more
than he bargains for-and gets more than he ever believed was possible.
