	Darkover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Darkover is the locus of the Darkover series of fantasy and science fiction novels and short stories by Marion Zimmer Bradley and others published since 1962.
		Like its neighbor, Darkover, too is a planet stuck in a permanent ice age with only one small equatorial strip of its only, smallish continent warm enough to support limited agriculture, fishing and livestock.
		Darkover is, apparently, only the most recent stop on their intergalactic travels, and likely to be their last.

	Darkover series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Darkover series consists of several novels and short stories set in the fictional world of Darkover as created by science fiction author Marion Zimmer Bradley.
		To account for the apparent discrepancy between the length of (recorded) history on Darkover and the length of time that had passed for the rest of humanity, the author mentions that early FTL drives could cause dislocation in time as well as in space when mishaps occurred.
		The Comyn are the seven laran-gifted families of Darkover, the descendants of human-chieri pairings.

	Darkover series - Definition, explanation
		The Darkover series consists of several novels and short stories set in the fictional world of Darkover as created by science fiction author Marion Zimmer Bradley.
		Although the following Darkover chronology includes a book list for novels set in specific time periods, each was written to stand as a separate story and the individual novel plots are not dependent upon one another.
		The comyn are the seven laran-gifted families of Darkover, the descendents of human-chieri pairings.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Gravelight by Marion Zimmer Bradley
		I eagerly await every Darkover book, whether it is by Marion Zimmer Bradley (MZB to her fans) or one of her anthologies of stories by fans and other writers.
		Readers will also be gratified to get a glimpse of Darkover during the early days of the Compact and to meet two legendary figures in the flesh.
		Bradley first conceived of Darkover when she was 15 and never intended to write a series, but her editor (Donald A. Wollheim) and her fans wanted more.

	About Darkover
		Bradley felt that the essence of the Darkover novels was the clash between Darkovan and Terran cultures, and didn't originally intend to write about other periods.
		After repeated requests from fans, Bradley filled in Darkover's early centuries with the saga of how the planet's inhabitants evolved a non-technological culture ruled by telepaths, weaving an increasingly complex tapestry of wars fought with telepathic weapons and the tyranny of selective breeding to reinforce the mental powers of the great families.
		The women in the Darkover novels are strong, rational, capable human beings, who both suffer under oppression and rebel effectively against it.

	The Saga of the Renunciates (Darkover Omnibus, 3) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The resulting main plotline between the Terrans and Darkover people, with the Amazons building the bridge between the two worlds...it was pretty awesome.
		I am an avid MZB fan and have read most of her novels, but the Darkover series is the closest to my heart and The Saga of the Renunciates stands above all.
		This novel is more than just a story, deconstructing femininity is a central part of this trilogy: as a reader I found myself pondering the same questions that trouble the women on Darkover and thinking that eventhough they are only sci-fi characters, their insigth would change a lot of women.

	The history of Darkover Anthologies -- Darkover
		The success of the Darkover early novels (especially the first version of Sharra's Exile, i.e., The Sword of Aldones) was so important that fans begun to organize special meeting in SF conventions, and to ask Marion clarifications about her world (the youth of Lew Alton for instance).
		These volumes of stories written by Marion Zimmer Bradley herself, and various members of the society called The Friends of Darkover, strive to "fill in the blanks" of the Darkover history, and elaborate on the eras, tales and characters which have captured their imaginations.
		In fact, has explained in the DARKOVER NON-GUIDELINES Marion had a legal problem that made her waste a lot of work, and the only manageable answer was to stop working on those anthologies.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on The Bloody Sun at Epinions.com
		The Bloody Sun was Marion Zimmer Bradley’s first adult novel in the Darkover series, which is probably why she decided to rewrite this particular book in 1979 in order to make it more consistent with the world she had created and to set the book more firmly into the series that had evolved.
		To do this she wove in a tragic end to the story from her then most recent novel The Forbidden Tower written in 1977 and tied those sad events into this book to add more depth and background to what was originally a mostly standalone one off novel.
		I have had a long relationship with the Darkover series and there has been an obvious lack of good support from the publisher and some poorly thought out reprints.

		She's taken an interesting approach to the internal consistency of the series: If she later decides that she earlier wrote something badly (which happens early in your carrer), she feels free to ignore those portions which she would do differntly now.
		This can frustrate readers that keep a close eye on the internal logic of a series, but it does free the author to write better stories when her writing skills have improved.
		And as you can see, while Darkover forms a large portion of her work it is by no means all.

	Review of the "Darkover" series by Marion Zimmer Bradley
		You may already know her as the author of "The Mists of Avalon" and "The Firebrand", but Marion Zimmer Bradley was also an excellent writer of science fiction as well.
		DARKOVER was groundbreaking when it came to putting women at the forefront of science fiction and fantasy novels instead of relegating them to the cast of supporting characters behind a "more capable" male protagonist.)
		You can go to her home page and see both the publication order and the chronological order of the books and decide for yourself how to read them.

	Raven's Reviews: Marion Zimmer Bradley
		Although I have personally have not yet delved into her wealth of Darkover novels, I have been told that the same basic principle applies; some of the Darkover series is fantastic while other parts are merely decent.
		Darkover has both the deep details and the broad history that make a great world; one is often reminded of Middle Earth or Dune as one reads- not because the worlds are the same, but because of their grip on the imagination.
		The fact that Darkover is a lost colony of the Empire is a fact not easily acknoledged by Darkovans and their Comyn overlords.

		Bradley about Darkover was the opportunity it provided for comparing and contrasting a highly technological Federation with an archaic, almost medieval culture.
		This, a part of the author's long Darkover series, is one of her last since she died in 1999.

	Feminist SFF & Utopia: Reviews: Marion Zimmer Bradley (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Darkover world is a science fantasy creation, in which there are fantasy-like elements (psychic magic, swordplay) which are rationally explained.
		The Free Amazons of Darkover are an all-woman society which pledges to live without attachment to men and to be self-sufficient.
		A second gender element in most of the later Darkover novels (later in the Darkover chronology; not later in publication date) is the clash of cultures between the traditional Darkover society and the Terran society, which is nominally egalitarian but in reality is still very patriarchal.

	Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover, An Omnibus Review
		Set on Bradley's world of Darkover during, as the title explains, the Ages of Chaos, the two stories weave grim tales of genetic manipulation, selective breeding and, yes, inbreeding.
		When her betrothed tries to ravish her, she reacts with fear and anger, and the man is struck dead with a lightening bolt.
		He is drawn into what he sees as a peaceful rebellion; a way of getting his world noticed by the Terrans not as a backward planet, but as a force to be reckoned with.
