Volume VI of The Chronicles of Counter-Earth. Here is the magnificent world of Gor, known also as Counter-Earth, a planet as strangely populated, as threatening, and as beautiful as any in fiction. Tarl Cabot of Earth has been hand-picked out of millions to be trained, schooled and disciplined by the best teachers, swordsmen and bowmen on Gor. In all of Gor there was only one city so depraved, its inhabitants so heedless, that none cared that the city was without a Home Stone. Tarl Cabot came to Port Kar, home of every outlaw and pirate on the planet, preying on the ships that sailed the beautiful sea of Thassa. Here Tarl could flourish, for he too lacked a heart and an allegiance. Cover art by Chris Achilleos.

A farm is taken over by its overworked, mistreated animals. With flaming idealism and stirring slogans, they set out to create a paradise of progress, justice and equality. Thus the stage is set for one of the most telling satiric fables ever penned - a razor-edged fairy tale for adults that records the evolution from revolution against tyranny to a totalitarianism just as terrible. When Animal Farm was first published, Stalinist Russia was seen as its target. Today it is devastatingly clear that wherever and whenever freedom is attacked, under whatever banner, the cutting clarity and savage comedy of George Orwell’s masterpiece have a meaning and message still ferociously fresh. DVD: George Orwell's classic fable brought to life by the magic of Jim Henson's Creature Shop and featuring the voices of Kelsey Grammer, Ian Holm, Pete Postlethwaite, Paul Schofield, Patrick Stewart, Julia Ormond and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. All regions; preloved; very good condition -

Book I of Farseer. Born on the wrong side of the sheets, Fitz, son of Chivalry Farseer, is a royal bastard, cast out into the world, friendless and lonely. Only his magical link with animals - the old art known as the Wit - gives him solace and companionship. But the Wit, if used too often, is a perilous magic, and one abhorred by the nobility. So when Fitz is finally adopted into the royal household, he must give up his old ways and embrace a new life of weaponry, scribing, courtly manners; and how to kill a man secretly, as he trains to become a royal assassin. Meanwhile, raiders ravage the coasts, leaving the people Forged and soulless. As Fitz grows toward manhood, he will have to face his first terrifying mission, a task that poses as much risk to himself as it does to his target - for Fitz is a threat to the throne - but he may also be the key to the future of the Kingdom.
