SUMMARY:The Carpet Makers - Andreas Eschbach
DESCRIPTION:Since the time of prehistory\, carpet makers have tied intricat
 e knots to form carpets for the court of the Emperor. These carpets are ma
 de from the hairs of their makers' wives and daughters\; they are so detai
 led and fragile that each carpet- maker finishes only one single carpet in
  his entire lifetime. This art has descended from father to son since the 
 beginning of time itself. But\, one day\, the empire of the God Emperor va
 nish...and strangers begin to arrive from the stars in search of the hair 
 carpets. What these strangers discover is beyond all belief\, more than an
 ything they could have ever imagined...\n\n\n\nReviews\nEschbach's first n
 ovel will blow you away. Yes\, it's that good.\n--Analog\n\nA considerable
  achievement\, and one that suggests the presence of a world-class SF voic
 e that we ought to know about.\n--Locus\n\nEnthusiastically introduced by 
 no less than Orson Scott Card\, this far-future novel does credit to every
 one concerned\, starting with its German author... Despite being broken in
 to short episodes\, the novel is one fluidly integrated story. Eschbach is
  likely to become an international phenomenon.\n--Booklist\n\nWith his fir
 st work Eschbach shows that the German SF is not dead.\n--Olive Faulhaber\
 n\nAndreas Eschbach is one of the most acclaimed sf writers to emerge in G
 ermany in the past decade.\n--The Magazine of Science Fiction and Fantasy\
 n\nAndreas Eschbach is a phenomenon.\n--Lesen & Leute\n\nEschbach: take it
  and read it.\n--Frank Schirrmacher\, FAZ\n\nAndreas Eschbach is incontest
 ably the shooting star of the German SF scene.\n--Heyne Science Fiction Ye
 arbook\n\nMany thanks to Richard for teasing me on not having had any work
 s by non-UK/US writers.
