CROSS, Ronald Anthony

CROSS, Ronald Anthony
(1937-)
   US writer who began publishing sf with "The Story of Three Cities" in New Worlds 6 (anth 1973) ed Michael MOORCOCK and Charles PLATT; the tale's steely moroseness characterizes much of his work in shorter forms. His first novel, Prisoners of Paradise (1988), bleakly generates a sense that the Fantasy-Island-type trap it depicts is not to be escaped from. The Eternal Guardians sequence - comprising The Fourth Guardian (1994) and The Lost Guardian (1995), with further volumes projected - is a fantasy of history.
