 | | And while Silverberg prides himself on the ability to create vivid new realities, to "show people wonders", he acknowledges that it is his knack for staying focused on a project and see it quickly to its conclusion that has brought him his enviable freedom. | | | This suggestion opened the door to the transition from Silverberg the commercial writer to Silverberg the artist, a transition that allowed him to enthusiastically dabble in complex, unconventional tales that were often dark and philosophical. | | | Having thus been a professional novelist and short story writer his whole life, Silverberg acknowledges himself as a bit unusual for never having participated in the "daily grind" so familiar to most people. |

| | There is a curious distance between the characters, the story and the readers and one comes away with a sense that this distance was also experienced by the author. | | | This is a book that has the scent of contractual obligation about it; that or an offer Silverberg simply could not refuse. | | | Thank goodness there are no historical figures or settings in his latest novel, particularly no Gilgamesh whose legend seemed to have entranced Silverberg for a good chunk of the last decade. |

| | SFRT on the Web - Robert Silverberg |
| | In Sorcerers of Majipoor, a classic tale of rivalry and war, Robert Silverberg calls upon his unequaled powers of imagination to fashion an epic that illuminates the unfamiliar, remarkable history of the vast and marvelous planet of Majipoor. | | | After a hiatus of 13 years, Silverberg returns to Majipoor -- the setting for his most beloved and bestselling works, The Majipoor Trilogy (Lord Valentine's Castle, Majipoor Chronicles, and Valentine Pontifex). | | | Filled with extraordinary attention to inventive detail that distinguishes all of his work, Sorcerers of Majipoor is vintage Silverberg. |

| | Robert Silverberg: A new Majipoor story by the master storyteller himself returns us to the time of the most famous Pontifex of all, Lord Valentine. | | | But Krug is not a god, and when the androids learn the bitter truth their anger is terrible and uncontrollable and threatens much more than Krug's tower. | | | Simeon Krug is a man with a vision, and he has the vast wealth necessary to bring it into being. |

| | Amazon.com: STARBORNE (Bantam Spectra Book): Books: Robert Silverberg |
| | This book borrows heavily from Robert Heinlein's fine juvenile Time for the Stars, which also features one half of a pair of identical twins who communicate telepathically in order to keep their star-going vessel in contact with earth. | | | Silverberg writes compelling prose, flocked with lovely imagery, as always, but this novel falls far short of Geoffrey Ryman's more elegiac and transcendent pieces using similar themes. | | | That hokey summary aside, though, this is a solid novel from sci-fi grandmaster Robert Silverberg, featuring good characterizations, a believable star voyage, and some unusual planetary discoveries. |

| | Science Fiction Weekly Interview |
| | Silverberg: Well, not any more, but I certainly did in the '70s, when I was writing books like The Book of Skulls and Son of Man and Dying Inside, and stories like "Born with the Dead." There were times when I felt almost a hostility from the audience, from the readers. | | | Silverberg: I know more about writing science fiction, I think, than I know about anything else on this planet. | | | I have an idiosyncratic theory that if you don't know the title of the story, you don't really know what it's about. |

| | Robert Silverberg's Majipoor |
| | As I wrote above, Silverberg sometimes considers four themes that are important to Christianity, namely revenge, sacrifice, sin and redemption. | | | The book relates these experiences, which are re-lived by Hissune, one of the main characters in the first three books, and are part of his training to take Valentine’s place as Coronal. | | | I confess that I am not sure, having read it, exactly what Silverberg thinks of the appropriateness of equating Valentine and Jesus, but I'm guessing that he thinks that it is appropriate. |

| | Quasi-Official Robert Silverberg Home |
| | The quote on so many of his book covers ("Where Silverberg goes today, the rest of science fiction will go tomorrow!"--Isaac Asimov) is a simple observation based on repeated forays against the edges of the genre. | | | And perhaps I'll give Jon the opportunity to run a few extracts from some upcoming new book or story, if he wants to, or other material that may be of interest to anyone who is enough of a fan of mine to visit such a site. | | | Thanks to my wife for tolerating my enthusiasm (or is it obsession?) for Silverberg's work. |

| | Legends edited by Robert Silverberg - an infinity plus review |
| | Two stories, the ones by Robert Silverberg and Anne McCaffrey, are technically science-fiction, but belong to the sub-genre of planetary romance, where, once on whatever far away planet the adventure is set on, the trappings of commercial fantasy assert themselves. | | | Sure, old fantasy tales by the likes of Robert E. Howard, L. Sprague de Camp, A. Merritt, and Clark Ashton Smith found a new home between paperback covers, but few were successful publishing ventures (Howard's Conan tales being a notable exception). | | | The rest of the book is a sad, unimaginative foray. |
