Nikolai Lutohin

Nikolai Lutohin (1932 - 2000) was born in Yugoslavia as the son of Russian parents. Already as a five year old boy he wanted to be a graphic designer and was interested in Flash Gordon comic books and other sci-fi heroes. He went to Hungary to study at the Art Academy in Budapest and then lived for twenty years in Moscow, where he illustrated popular science books, children's books and classics. 

His inspiration came from the works of El Greco, Goya, Dali and Hieronymus Bosch. In 1975, he moved to Germany and settled in Munich. Kurt Bernhardt hired him for Pabel Publishers, where he primarily illustrated fantasy, horror and Sci Fi series such as "Terra Fantasy," "Mythor," "Demon Killer," "Sun Koh," and "Utopia Classics". During his last years Nikolai Lutohin worked for the fantasy series of the Bastei Publishing House including "ghost hunter John Sinclair," "Professor Zamorra" and "Demon-land".

Threshold Shift by Eric Brown
This unique collection of science fiction stories focuses on the human emotions that have no place in a world made unrecognisable by science and technology. Three stories that deal with the Kethani aliens—a group that has come to present-day Earth offering life after death via technological resurrection—are included, as is “The Children of Winter,” a lucid tale of doomed love between alien species on a far-off world in the distant future. As characters are pushed to their moral thresholds, they attempt to deal with the unforseen consequences contained in fascinating new technologies.

Two of Eric Brown's stories included in Threshold Shift won British Science Fiction awards: "Children of Winter" (2001) and "Hunting the Slarque" (1999).
