Book description
Decades before a certain five-year voyage, L. Sprague de Camp sent a
spirited crew to a strange and distant world, where their meeting with
its inhabitants created chaos in local politics, upset the balance of
power and generally created the most entertaining havoc. Rogue Queen is
an engaging tale of aliens and humans on the loose on a world of
appealing strangeness. Lyon Sprague de Camp was born in 1907 and died
in 2000. During a writing career that spanned seven decades, he wrote
over a hundred books in the areas of science fiction, fantasy,
historical fiction, non-fiction and biography. Although arguably best
known for his continuation of Robert E. Howard's Conan stories, de Camp
was an important figure in the formative period of modern SF, alongside
the likes of Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, and was a winner of
the Hugo, World Fantasy Life Achievement and SFWA Grand Master awards.
