...
Introducing *Nightwings*, the inaugural volume in IDW's Essential Science Fiction Library, curated by the legendary Harlan Ellison. This Hugo Award-winning novella plunges readers into a post-apocalyptic world where the Watcher, roused from his somber duty by Avluela the Flier, witnesses the brutal conquest of his city by invading forces. As the invaders march towards the Holy City, the sanctuary of the Rememberers who safeguard history, the Watcher embarks on a desperate journey. Driven by a yearning to reclaim his lost youth and reunite with the woman he loves, he finds himself entangled in Avluela's own hidden agenda, one that promises not just romance, but a profound secret: the key to freeing humanity itself. Robert Silverberg's masterful storytelling shines in *Nightwings*, making its inclusion on a "Best Books" list an absolute certainty. The novella exemplifies Silverberg's signature blend of philosophical depth and visceral world-building. He crafts a richly imagined, decaying society, where survival is paramount and memory is a precious commodity. The story's exploration of themes like aging, the burden of the past, and the nature of love and sacrifice resonates deeply, showcasing Silverberg's ability to imbue science fiction with profound humanistic concerns. *Nightwings* is a prime example of his early, powerful work, demonstrating a unique talent for creating compelling narratives with enduring emotional impact.
