His dream is to find the means to help America break the stranglehold of the corrupt interests who are keeping it a second class power.

The Steps of the Sun and Far From Home Bewertungen

Engaging and effortlessly readable - Publishers Weekly

Warmly involving . . .Tevis' delivery is agreeably fluid and deadpan; and narrator Ben Belson has enough craggy, amiably sardonic appeal to hold the reader's interest. - Kirkus Reviews

SF writing of a rare quality. - Time Out

The poetic imprints of a fine writer's trail. - The Times

Über Walter Tevis

Walter Tevis was an American novelist and short story writer. Whilst a student at the University of Kentucky, Tevis worked in a pool hall and published a story about the game for an English class. He would later revisit his love for pool in the novels THE HUSTLER (1959) and THE COLOR OF MONEY (1984), both of which would be adapted into multiple award-winning films starring Paul Newman. Among his other works, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH (1963) and MOCKINGBIRD (1980) are considered masterpieces of science fiction. Tevis died in 1984.
