ELDRIDGE, Roger

ELDRIDGE, Roger
(? -)
   UK writer whose first sf book was a juvenile, The Shadow of the Gloom-World (1977). His second, The Fishers of Darksea (1982), is an ambitious adult tale set in an Eskimo culture with a tradition of shamanism; the visions endured by the protagonist are ironically revealed to be merely circumstantial, for the tribe has been genetically adapted to handle radioactive ore, and the MONSTERS seen in shamanic trance are merely human overseers, suitably shielded.
