AIKIN, Jim

AIKIN, Jim
   Working name of US writer James Douglas Aikin (1948-), whose sf novel, Walk the Moons Road (1985), gave operatic colour to a moderately intricate PLANETARY ROMANCE featuring aliens, humans, seas, politics and sex on a planet which is not Earth. His second novel, The Wall at the Edge of the World (1993), more ambitiously sets its protagonist - a non-TELEPATH in a post-HOLOCAUST society - the task of reconciling his home culture with that of the wild women who live in hinterlands.
