Book description
Robert Silverberg's Nightwings stands as a compelling example of science fiction's capacity for introspective storytelling, wrapped in the guise of far-future adventure. Originally published in 1968 and later expanded into a novel, the audiobook version brings renewed life to this Hugo Award-winning narrative through its richly layered characters and evocative prose.
Set on Earth generations after humanity's decline from a once-great galactic empire, the story follows a group of Watchers-humans tasked with observing the remnants of a fallen civilization. At the center is Avluela the Flier, whose transformation from sky-bound guardian to earthbound exile sets off a chain of events that exposes both personal and societal fractures. Her scarlet and ebony wings are more than a visual symbol; they mark her as an agent of change in a world clinging to myth and fading purpose.
The audiobook format enhances the melancholic tone of Silverberg's writing. The narrator captures the reflective voice of the protagonist, a Watcher grappling with disillusionment, loyalty, and the weight of inherited history. As Avluela's choices ripple outward, themes of betrayal, redemption, and the cost of transformation unfold with quiet intensity.
Silverberg's background in both pulp fiction and the New Wave movement informs the novel's balance of accessibility and depth. While the setting is fantastical, the emotional core remains grounded in very human concerns: how we respond to loss, how we define ourselves amid shifting realities, and what remains when glory fades. The result is a thoughtful meditation on post-imperial decline that feels remarkably relevant.
Nightwings rewards listeners who appreciate science fiction that prioritizes character development and philosophical inquiry over action-driven plots. It's a concise yet resonant entry in Silverberg's distinguished catalog, offering both newcomers and longtime fans a haunting vision of a world in transition.
