Описание: Джулия Элизабет Чернеда (Julie Elizabeth Czerneda, р. 11 апреля 1955 г.) - канадская писательница, работающая в основном в жанре ксенофантастики, реже — фэнтези. Первая публикация Джулии — рассказ «First Contact Inc.» был напечатан в июле 1997 года в антологии «First Contact». Рассказы Чернеды публиковались в нескольких антологиях, среди которых «First Contact», «Far Frontiers», «Spell Fantastic», «Silicon Dreams», «Battle Magic» и «New Voice in Science Fiction». Среди рассказов писательницы можно отметить «Down on the Farm» (2000), который номинировался на «Aurora Award»-2001, и «Left foot on a blind man» (2001 в антологии «Silicon Dreams»), награждённый «Prix Aurora Award»-2002. Также можно вспомнить рассказ «Ware the Sleeper» (в антологии «Battle Magic») — первое фэнтезийное произведение писательницы. «Тысяча имён для странника» («A Thousand Words for Stranger») (1997) — дебютный роман Джулии Чернеды, давший начало научно-фантастической трилогии «Вселенная Торгового договора» (The Trade Pact Universe»), рассказывающей о гуманоидной расе M'Hir, обладающей экстрасенсорными способностями, и её отношениях с людьми. Вторая книга Чернеды, «Глаз Паутины» («Beholder's Eye»), была издана в 1998 году и вышла в финал «Aurora Award». «Глаз Паутины» — начало другой научно-фантастической трилогии писательницы — «Труженики Паутины» («Web Shifters»), — главная героиня которой, Эсен, принадлежит к замкнутой расе метаморфов, живущих в мире, населённом разнообразными межзвёздными расами. Также Джулия является автором ещё одной научно-фантастической трилогии «Species Imperative» и цикла фэнтези «Night's Edge». На вопрос, почему Джулии так нравится писать об инопланетянах, она отвечает: «Как биолога, меня всегда восхищали причуды и приспособления живых существ. Мы живём в мире, где пауки занимаются дельтапланеризмом, леса могут состоять из одного дерева, а рыбы поют. Я не могу вообразить вселенную, которую не населяли бы различные формы жизни». Критики отмечают, что для книг Джулии Чернеды характерно смешение элементов космической оперы, населённой экзотическими и дружелюбными инопланетянами, чувственных взаимоотношений и мягкого юмора.

JENN NALYNN DUG her toes deeper into the sweet meadow grass and scowled at the river sparkling in the distance. For good measure, she scowled at the golden fields spread between the crags that cradled Marrowdell in sunkissed arms, then at the blue arch of sky that dared be dotted by clouds whiter than the daisies nodding shoulder-high around her. Even the small village nestled by the river had taken on a glow, its crude wooden structures burnished rich bronze. Home. She scowled at it too, so fiercely her eyebrows almost met. A cage was a cage. Eighteen days from now, not counting today, she’d turn nineteen. Adult at last, with all that meant. Freedom. Choice. Adventure! She’d urged the summer to end, excepting the daisies, eager to start her travels. Wasn’t it cooperating? Just yesterday, Old Jupp had complained fall was in a hurry. His joints could tell. Everyone agreed the weather couldn’t make its mind up this year, so best be ready for an early change. Sure enough, today purple asters with eyes of gold bloomed like a royal cloak all around her. All for naught. Because her dear, doting father wanted her married before she left home. . . .

MEETINGS AND MISSION
“MY MONEY’S on the plant.” The antique clay pot on the windowsill ignored Mac’s comment, preoccupied with containing the immense aloe that folded its lower thick leaves over the pot’s rim like grasping fingers and burst roots from beneath so the combination tilted in its saucer. There weren’t cracks … yet. But the plant would win. Time, toughness, and a single-minded refusal to accept barriers to its growth. Mac approved. Not that she had time on her side. Her “pot” was this waiting room, her discomfort in it undoubtedly a pleasure to the man whose offices filled the remaining two-thirds of this floor. Mac was convinced those who ran the Wilderness Trusts shared a disdain for those who required roofs and meetings, begrudging any budget toward such things—even for their own staff. This building was shabby, the neighborhood matched, and the floor space was probably donated. The waiting room? Bland, square, and furnished to test the resolve of anyone waiting. The carpet gave off a stifling aroma, a combination of stale body and damp fiber. The only window had been frosted for no imaginable reason except to prevent gazing at anything but the imprisoned aloe on its sill. The reader on the side table? Never worked. There was a framed piece of art on the wall not occupied by window or closed, forbidding door. As this was an aerial view of a dense forest, with the words: “Leave Me Alone!” blazoned in threatening yellow across the center, Mac’s eyes automatically avoided it. . . .
