Songmaster

Kidnapped at an early age, Ansset has been raised in isolation at a mystical retreat called the Songhouse. His life is filled with music, and having only songs for companions, he develops a voice that is unlike any other. But Ansset's voice is both a blessing and a curse--for it reflects all the hopes and fears of his audience, and, by magnifying their emotions, can be used either to heal or to destroy. When it is discovered that his is the voice that the Emperor has waited decades for, Ansset is summoned to the Imperial Palace on Old Earth. Many fates rest in Anssett's hands, and his songs will soon be put to the test: either to salve the troubled conscience of a conqueror or drive him, and the universe, into mad chaos.

  • "Par l'un des prodiges de la science-fiction américaine actuelle (1980) un étrange conte philosophique où les enfants sont élevés pour devenir des oiseaux chanteurs exprimant tellement les sentiments qu'ils acquièrent le pouvoir. Rares sont les élus et cette histoire rare et superbe est très belle."

  • "Mikal de Verschrikkelijke, de grootste heelalvorst aller tijden, heeft een mateloze begeerte opgevat voor een 'zangvogel'."
  • "In a future human empire young Ansset is discovered to be an especially talented singer, and is designated a songbird. He is taken into the Songhouse, where he is given drugs that enhance his abilities and delay puberty but ultimately leave him sterile."
