Book description
1588: Queen Elizabeth is felled by an assassin's bullet. Within the
week, the Spanish Armada had set sail, and its victory changed the
course of history. 1968: England is still dominated by the Church of
Rome. There are no telephones, no television, no nuclear power. AS
Catholicism and the Inquisition tighten their grip, rebellion is
growing. Keith Roberts (1935-2000) Keith Roberts was an English author
and illustrator, who did more than most to define the look of UK Science
fiction magazines in the sixties. He won four BFSA awards for his
writing and his art, and edited the magazine Science Fantasy (later
Impulse) for a time. He was also nominated for Hugo, Nebula (twice) and
Arthur C. Clarke awards. He is perhaps best known for his seminal
alternative history novel, Pavane, praised by George R. R. Martin: 'No
alternate history novel of the past thirty years comes close to
equalling Pavane'.
