Thomas Burnett Swann (1928-1976) earned a distinguished reputation among writers of science fiction, one that caused his enthusiastic following to nominate him again and again for awards. Unique in his talent, his novels dealt not with the far future, but with the enigma of the past. Prior to the dawn of human history, the Earth did not belong solely to humanity – there were other intelligent species still fighting a last-stand battle against extinction.Remembered today only in legend, these are creatures of the trees and water, beings that combined beast and man, with strange lore of their own and sciences lost to the human victors.<P>
GREEN PHOENIX is a tour de force of the final stronghold of the prehumans against the last legion of fallen Troy. <P> "He writes his own golden thing his own way…" –Theodore Sturgeon, The New York Times <P> "Swann's neo-romantic fantasies of the past are unique. He uses the stuff of myth with twists and inventions all his own." –The Village Voice <P> After being unavailable for many years, the complete works of Thomas Burnett Swann are being reprinted by Wildside Press – all 16 novels and his complete short stories.

Kui ookeani kaldal vaikeses majas sureb selle omanik, eakas daam, kelle ainsaks kaaslaseks oli juba aastatid vana poolpime kass, ei suuda keegi uskuda, et tegu on morvaga. Kui aga uksteise jarel hakkavad Green Islandile saabuma nii noored kui ka aastates parijad, muutub olukord ponevaks. Kas toesti ihaldab see kirju seltskond maja, mis peab vaevalt vastu esimesele sugistormile. Ja siis leitakse vanadaami testament, mille avamisel selgub, et ta on maaranud – porunud nagu ta oli olnud kogu elu! – oma kassi ja maja ainuparijaks koigile tundmatu mehe – Frank Steeli.
