Xapz! Alistair MacLean James H. Schmitz was a popular science fiction writer of the 1960s. Schmitz was best known for the fact that he wrote stories featuring strong, believable, effective female lead characters, in an era when many science fiction stories -- even those by the greats such as Heinlein and Asimov -- rarely even acknowledged the existence of women. Two of Schmitz's recurring female characters are Telzey Amberdon, one of the most powerful telepaths in the galaxy, and Trigger Argee, a crack shot who's a top agent of the galaxy's Federation of the Hub. www.xapz.com /store/schmitz.html   (1106 words)

Dani Zweig's Belated Reviews #2: James H Schmitz James Schmitz wrote from the forties to the seventies. Schmitz apparently wrote a sequel, "Venture of Karres", but the manuscript was lost when he moved. (Schmitz seems to have had a fondness for impending alien invasions.) www-users.cs.york.ac.uk /~susan/sf/dani/002.htm   (366 words)

Dark Moon Rising - January 2001 There is a wonderful source of information on-line called The James H. Schmitz Encyclopedia at http://www.white-crane.com/Schmitz with a complete bibliography and a generous selection of photos from illustrations and book jackets. Schmitz's premiere work has to be The Witches of Karres, which was originally published in the December 1949 issue of Astounding as a novella. Probably the most widely known of Schmitz's characters is Telzey Amberdon, the daughter of a Hub official and something of a genius with psi-powers. www.darkmoonrising.com /issues/jan01?FILE=bod   (1781 words)

James H. Schmitz, Late Science Fiction Author James H. Schmitz was the author of a number of remarkable science fiction novels and stories. Schmitz books can sometimes be found in the used book sales at sci-fi conventions. Many of Schmitz' writings fall into one of two universes and have many interlocking characters. www.harbormist.com /pat/schmitz   (307 words)

Review: Telzey Amberdon by James H. Schmitz James H. Schmitz was a prolific and much-loved author of SF short fiction in the 1960s and early 1970s, who has since fallen almost completely off the radar of SF readers due in part to the difficulty of staying in print as a primarily short-fiction writer with only a couple of novels. First, Schmitz has a good grasp of pacing and mostly avoids the infodump, dropping one into both the world and the action without a lot of preliminaries. This is so subtlely done that I likely wouldn't have noticed without reading various reviews and analyses of Schmitz's work, which is even more remarkable given that these stories were mostly written in the 1960s and early 1970s. www.eyrie.org /~eagle/reviews/books/0-671-57851-0.html   (882 words)

SS > SF > book reviews > James H. Schmitz These are typical Schmitz -- ultra-competant heroes, and very little questioning of the ethics of the situations or of the the use of their powers. My favourite Schmitz story: Nile Etland has to single-handedly foil a planned invasion of the Hub, by making the attacking Parahuans believe she is one of the legendary all-powerful Tuvelas -- even though no such beings exist. A few of the social attitudes might seem a little dated forty years on (although actually rather ahead of their time), but whatever the decade of reading, Trigger is one of Schmitz' great competent heroines. www-users.cs.york.ac.uk /~susan/sf/books/s/schmitz.htm   (2659 words)

Amazon.ca: Books: The Hub : Dangerous Territory James Schmitz was a science fiction writer of the 1950s-1970s known for his skill at characterization, interesting ideas, and a delightful style. I recommend going to the James Schmitz website (after you read the story) for more background on the history of how the ending came to be written. At the risk of being misunderstood, I'd like to call the writings of James H. Schmitz "Golden Age as it should have been." Oh yes...and track down the "Witches of Karres"; one of the most perfect and delightful SF books ever written. www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0671319841   (1242 words)

Amazon.com: Eternal Frontier: Books: James H. Schmitz,Eric Flint Fans of Schmitz, like me, spent much time in used book stories finding his work before the recent reprint series -- and in that way it was relatively easy to collect most of the Telzey stories, the Trigger stories, and books like _Agent of Vega_ and _The Demon Breed_. Unlike the huge majority of Schmitz stories, [The] Eternal Frontier is not part of the Federation of the Hub cycle, so you won't see these characters in any of his other work. Schmitz wrote some crime fiction as well, often for the SF magazines, but also in mystery magazines. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0743435591?v=glance   (1171 words)

The Witches of Karres: James H Schmitz [Review © T Brown, 2001] The late James H.

Mar's James H. Schmitz Page James H. Schmitz always stormed through an exciting tale, never stopping to see if his readers had caught up. The stories of James H.

James H. Schmitz:  The Witches of Karres James Schmitz’s The Witches of Karres is an old-fashioned space opera with one major difference. Schmitz does a wonderful job of piling idea upon idea, with the result that Pasuert and Goth have a wide variety of tools and abilities to use against an equally wide variety of adversaries. Instead, Schmitz focuses his attention of the plotting, placing his characters in one danger after another. www.sfsite.com /~silverag/karres.html   (429 words)

Telzey Amberdon Review James H. Schmitz was one of SF's most popular writers of the 1960s and early 1970s. With the help of long-time Schmitz devotee Guy Gordon, they have assembled the bulk of Schmitz' "Federation of the Hub" stories into four collections, to be published in 2000 and 2001. Schmitz' fans wanted more: to see the novels back in print, to see more of the stories in print. www.sff.net /people/richard.horton/telzey.htm   (1465 words)

The Searcher - James H. Schmitz Danestar Gems, an instrument and communications expert with her "cobwebby miniatures" to spy on the interior of the Depot, is one of Schmitz's attractive and no-nonsense competent heroines. Among Schmitz's huge cast of strange and formidable aliens and villains, the goyal surely is one of the most formidable, and one of the most alien. And, about a thousand miles away, in the direction the goyal was heading, Danestar Gems raked dark-green fingernails through her matching dark-green hair, and swore nervously at the little spy-screen she'd been manipulating. www.troynovant.com /Franson/Schmitz/Searcher.html   (591 words)

NESFA CHOICE Except, this is also reviews 101-103, for I've elected to review the four books which have so far appeared in the NESFA Choice line of books: Schmitz's The Best of James H. Schmitz, Smith's The Rediscovery of Man, Henderson's Ingathering, and Kornbluth's His Share of Glory. Kornbluth died in 1958, Smith in 1966, Schmitz in 1981 and Henderson in 1983. By the time James Mann edited Cordwainer Smith's The Rediscovery of Man two years later, NESFA was to the point where they realized that although "Best of" collections are nice, the complete short works of an author are even nicer. www.sfsite.com /~silverag/100.html   (907 words)

BookLoons Reviews - Telzey Amberdon by James H. Schmitz James Schmitz was one of the first SF authors to give us strong heroines (Heinlein's Podkayne of Mars was another from the same era). Schmitz has her express some moral qualms but mostly asks the reader to accept these actions as pragmatic choices in difficult situations. I remember reading some of the short stories now in Telzey Amberdon in Analog magazine in my teens, and re-reading them again and again. www.bookloons.com /cgi-bin/Review.ASP?bookid=1882   (377 words)

must-reads by James H. Schmitz  Another oddly non-dating point is the fact that the characters in Schmitz's books are not continually lighting up cigarettes, as most characters in much of the science fiction of the mid twentieth century do. I didn't get these books out of some fascination with the history of science fiction, however. It seems very strange, reading them now, that anyone ever acted or wrote that way. www.pburch.net /books/booklog/B863358416/C1499821214/E1344698440   (244 words)

Agent of Vega - James H. Schmitz James Schmitz discovered Edward E. Smith's Lensman series in Astounding as a teenager in 1939. "Agent of Vega" is James H. Schmitz's first science-fiction story for Astounding, and it is a doozy: subtle, carefully delineated, a tight novella packing enough action and thought-material for a novel. Schmitz's conception of mental natures and operatives, beginning in "Agent of Vega", clearly owes a lot to Doc Smith's Lensmen. www.troynovant.com /Franson/Schmitz/Agent-of-Vega.html   (866 words)

Nebula Award Stories 1 A quick check on the Internet Speculative Fiction database shows Schmitz to have written a fair number of short stories from the late 1940s onwards, with only two novels (aside from a few story fix-ups). Of these the first, 'The Witches of Carres', was a Hugo nominee in 1967, and was placed 46th in Locus Magazines' 1998 'All-Time Best SF Novel before 1990' award (down from 31 in 1987).
