关于此电子书

Stop a murder, save two planets!

Who she is: Sibyl Sue Blue, single mom, undercover detective, and damn good at her job.

What she wants: to solve the mysterious benzale murders, prevent more teenage deaths, and maybe find her long-lost husband.

How she'll get it: seduce a millionaire, catcha ride on his spaceship, and crack the case at the edge of the known galaxy.

A thrilling, ground-breaking story of mystery, crime, action, and romance:

"Rosel George Brown's long-overdue first novel, SIBYL SUE BLUE, is something, believe me, else...froth and fun and furious action."

-Judith Merril

作者简介

New Orleans native Rosel George Brown was one of the most accomplished authors of science fiction's Silver Age. She exploded onto the science fiction scene in 1958 with her first story, From an Unseen Censor, being nominated for the Best New Author Hugo in 1959. Composing from an unapologetically feminine perspective, her stories often featured woman protagonists holding their own in a male-dominated society. Her 1966 book Sibyl Sue Blue starred a middle-aged mom, who was also a determined detective. Sadly, Rosel died just nine years into her career, succumbing to lymphoma at the age of 41. She left a legacy of 21 short stories and 3 novels (one co-written with Keith Laumer). She was a graduate of Sophie Newcomb College and the University of Minnesota, where she got degrees in Greek. With her husband, W. Burlie Brown, Rosel had two children. In addition to writing, she worked as a teacher and a welfare visitor in Louisiana. Journey Press republished two of her stories in 2019's Rediscovery: Science Fiction by Women (1958-1963). A new edition of Sibyl Sue Blue was released in 2021, exactly 55 years after its first printing.
