Book description
'The explosion was painfully bright against the dark backdrop of the
moonless New Mexico sky. To those who looked up at that precise moment -
and there were many who happened to look up - it was as though a new
star had momentarily blossomed in blue-white incandescence.' Only three
human beings would ever know that the blinding flash in the sky on that
night in 1982 was an exploding flying saucer. Only they would learn the
truth about THOSE WHO WATCH - about the alien observers who came into
this world in a crash landing from the stars. THOSE WHO WATCH is the
strange, seductive story of three accidental colonists from outer space
whose chance encounter with Earth brought revelation to three earthly
counterparts - and triggered interplanetary conflict. It is a remarkable
story by one of science fiction's most remarkable writers. Robert
Silverberg (1935 - ) Robert Silverberg was born in Brooklyn, New York,
in 1935, and is one of the most prolific authors of all time, writing
not just SF & Fantasy, but extensive non-fiction and a large number
of pseudonymously published erotica novels. In his first years as a
professional writer, his output regularly exceeded a million words per
year. He has won and been nominated for the Hugo and Nebula awards
dozens of times as both writer and editor, and in 2004 received the SFWA
Grand Master Award. Among his many acclaimed and bestselling novels are
A Time of Changes, The Book of Skulls, Dying Inside and Lord Valentine's
Castle. Robert Silverberg lives on the West Coast of the United States
with his wife, author, editor and art critic, Karen Haber.
