Book I of Warlock. The lost planet of Gramarye wasn't so much evidence of galactic advances as a phoney shrine to the forgotten traditions, rites and graces of renaissance Europe. Aeons ago disenchanted Earthers established a feudal Utopia there. But now it's evil Medieval, with treacherous cosmic couriers, plots, intrigue and very uncivil war. Observing this human conflict are the enemies of the knight - witches, arlocks, elves and goblins. Pomp and unforeseen circumstances brought Earther agent Rod Gallowglass to Gramarye. With his epileptic, computer brained robot horse, Fess, to help him, he wanted to save the cast of thousands from themselves. But things became tough when he fell in love with a child queen and tougher when he fell in the hay with a witch. Dangerous, too...as the Gramarians had very imaginative torture methods...Cover art by Gino D'Achille. -

The War of the Worlds: Regarded as one of the first and greatest sci-fi novels and written before men had begun to fly, H.G. Wells has the Martians arriving on Earth in huge metal cylinders. No-one knows what these white-hot cylinders mean, until one begins to open... A Dream Of Armageddon: A white-faced stranger on a train tells the narrator that his dreams are killing him. He goes on the describe that in the future, he will be a major political figure who gives up his position to live with a younger woman on Capri. He is then approached by an envoy who begs him to resume his old duties as his political successor is going to bring about a war. What will he chose, even in a dream? The Land Ironclads: Originally published in 1903, Well's imagination uncannily conjured a vision of a 100 ft. machine with remote controlled guns and accommodation for 42 soldiers and seven officers. The story is set in a war similar to World War I and gave Wells a reputation as a prophet as the 'Ironclads' seem to anticipate the tanks of WWI. Once again, as in The War of the Worlds he describes a battle between wildly technologically unmatched opponents - one side believes they will win with their horse-riding abilities, rifle skills and healthy outdoor lifestyle that makes better soldiers than the 'city men' with their science and engineering abilities. -

Imagine living on a planet where shimmering veils of pure energy fall at yearly intervals, sealing in everything and everyone on its surface into a time 'pocket'. You can live in a time pocket that makes life an almost ageless state, where time passes so slowly that senility and death are meaningless concepts. But the penalty is that only have free interaction with those of your own 'generation': settlers from ten years before are seen only as blurred outlines and a settler from fifty years before could walk right through you. Tourists are careful to heed the date of the next Veilfall, knowing that to be on Azlaroc at Veilfall is to be there forever. And what if you're the one man on Azlaroc that knows for a certainty that Veilfall is coming early, and without warning? Cover art by Dean Ellis. -
All over the world, quite independently, thousands of people are claiming they have been abducted by aliens. Often these people are ridiculed by the media, regarded as unblanaced by scientists and ignored by the governments that are supposed to protect them - in spite of this, they persist with their claims. Former UK Government UFO investigator Nick Pope has written the definitive book on the alien abduction mystery, delving into folklore, the contactee movement, and more modern claims that people have not just seen UFOs, but encountered extraterrestrials. He also examines the reaction of governments, and of the scientific community, as well as examining the world's most famous alien contact cases and highlighting the common threads that bind them together. Pope devotes a significant portion of the book to detailing a number of cases that he investigated personally, before drawing things together by discussing the various theories that might explain what lies behind this fascinating mystery. -

Radiation from the stellar explosion less than 150 light years away smashed Earth into a new ice age. Tornadoes devastated the world, leaving destruction, death and desolation in their wake. Worst of all, the human race found itself sterile. The Zetas, strange people with suddenly-acquired psychic powers were made the scapegoats, but even during the hounding and extermination that followed, few could grasp what had really happened - an alien intelligence, riding on the shock waves of that supernova, had broken through the atmosphere to take up residence in the human brain. Who would inherit the Earth? Cover art by Chris Achilleos. -

The Time Machine: H.G. Wells
$20.00Regarded as the first science fiction thriller, it is the classic tale of the wanderings of the Time Traveller, his excursion in the fantastic machine of his creation into a future of nuclear war's aftermath; he encounters the Eloi - portrayed as the pampered, spiritless descendants of the upper class of his own time; and the Morlocks; the lower class who dwell below ground but who, in this future, control the cossetted Eloi in order to farm them for sustenance. Wells intentionally reflected his views of the class system, working conditions and politics of the late Victorian age in these fictional races, having experienced the unhealthy living and working below ground conditions for himself as a draper's assistant. Many film versions of this multi-layered story only go so far; Wells took his Time Traveller much further than the time of the Morlocks, to see...No, we won't spoil it for you...
