Paul McAuley on PAVANE
Arthur C. Clarke Award-winning author, Paul McAuley has posted an appreciation of Keith Roberts‘ Pavane on his blog. You should go read it.
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 . . .
SF Gateway currently hosts Pavane and another five of Keith Roberts’ books, and Pavane is also available in the SF Masterworks series published by our sister imprint Gollancz.
