KIMBRIEL, Katharine Eliska
- KIMBRIEL, Katharine Eliska
(1956-)
US writer whose work of sf interest - though she has published some fantasy stories - is restricted to the Nuala sequence: Fire Sanctuary (1986), Fires of Nuala (1988) and Hidden Fires (1991). Threatened bymutations (caused by high radioactivity in the planetary crust) and by intergalactic war, the inhabitants of the eponymous long-lost colony planet must cope with intrigues, spies, dynastic disputes and an extremely harsh climate. The plots are sometimes congested, but KEK's sense of local colour and her capacity to create genuinely engaging characters have made the sequence into something more than routine.
