The Hydross, on the other hand, have curvy features and blue or turquoise skin, and water is vital to them. In summer, the Hydross turn into stone statues and are thus vulnerable, whi ...

Serge Brussolo
Serge Brussolo (born 31 May 1951) is a French fiction author. Biography Born in Paris, Brussolo had a tormented childhood. He studied letters and psychology and wrote his first texts very early, finding inspiration in his misery and disturbed family environment. The blackness of his first novels set the tone for all of his future work. At the beginning of his career, publishers rejected him because of his style – which, although close to fantasy and science fiction cannot easily be categorised under any genre. He persevered because he could not consider a future without writing. His work was first published in fanzines. His first published text was ''The Escaped Prisoner'' published in 1972 in ''The Wedged Paddle''. This was followed by a great number of novels published in the ''Anticipation'' and ''Presence of the future'' series. Another of his works, ''Les semeurs d'abîmes'', won the Prix Tour-Apollo Award in 1984. His 1992 science fiction novel was translated into Engl ...
