![]() ![]() ![]() Oh yeah: I think her most famous single work is probably The Long Tomorrow. She was also married to the SF author Edmond Hamilton. I've probably most enjoyed The Best of Leigh Brackett but I've also read and enjoyed The Sword of Rhiannon (planetary romance), and The Starmen of Llyrdis and The Big Jump (space opera-ish), and also have The Nemesis from Terra to read. But she's probably best in the planetary romance or weird sort of tale where her lush visual writing style could have full play. She could also turn her hand to a little more austere space opera. ![]() She collaborated with Bradbury some, I think. She was mainly a Planet Stories sort of author who wrote swashbuckling "planetary romance" influenced by Burroughs. The first two were originally from 19 and were set in the solar system and, when she returned to it in the 70s, she reset it outside the solar system, naturally enough. I haven't actually read that yet, though I've had the later trilogy ( The Ginger Star, The Hounds of Skaith, The Reavers of Skaith) for years - I wanted to read the earlier duo first ( The Secret of Sinharat, People of the Talisman) and finally found it awhile ago. ![]()
