Title: Paladin of the Lost Hour
Description: Santa Monica, CA: Harlan Ellison Recording Collection, 1995. 1st Edition Thus; 1st Printing. Non-Book. CD. This is a Compact Disc in its case. This edition is limited to 1000 signed and numbered copies, this being number 565. The story was originally recorded in 1986 (Recorded by Harlan Ellison on August 26, 1986 at LA Radio Works, Santa Monica, California). Harlan Ellison has written up a fascinating remembrance about the writing of this story / novella / teleplay (it was written as an episode for the TV series The Twilight Zone) that goes in to great detail -- from Ellison's website: "The published "Paladin" was a 1986 Nebula finalist. It won for me my 8th Hugo. And greatest honor of all, it won the Writers Guild of America outstanding script award for 1986 in the category of Television Anthology Episode / Single Program. My competition in that category was at the highest level: TZ scripts by Alan Brennert and George R. R. Martin, and a Richard Matheson teleplay aired on Amazing Stories, a story which won John Lithgow an Emmy. To win an award in a shoot-out with the best of your craft, is an achievement that brings honor to everyone concerned." Paladin of the Lost Hour" is the capper of my preoccupation with the themes of friendship, ethics, courage, responsibility, and the getting us wisdom. Throughout the story, Gaspar and Billy are merely men; simply two fallible human beings who each carries the fate of the human race in his own life, and who perceive that inevitably we are responsible not only for ourselves, but for everyone. Billy and Gaspar do not turn away from that responsibility. They know that the buck cannot pass beyond them, that they must not only cope with the wonder that befalls them, but they must transcend. " (from Harlan Ellison's website). Very Good+ .
