Paperback: 8½" x 5½". Condizione: Good: Moderate signs of wear. Cover Art: Uncredited (illustratore). 2000 Edition. © 1970: A stand-alone novel by Poul Anderson. 1st printing of 2000 edition. A shorter version of this novel appeared in 'Galaxy Science Fiction', June & August 1967 under the title 'To Outlive Eternity'. A part of the Gollancz SF Collectors' Edition series of books:- Synopsis: The epic voyage of the spacecraft Leonora Christine will take her and her fifty-strong crew to a planet some thirty light-years distant. For those on board, because the ship will accelerate to close the speed of light, subjective time will slow and the journey will be of only a few years' duration. But a buffeting by an interstellar dustcloud changes everything. The ship's deceleration system is damaged irreparably and soon, remorselessly, she is gaining velocity. When she attains light-speed, tau zero itself, the disparity between ship-time and external time becomes almost impossibly great. Eons and galaxies hurtle by, and the crew of the Leonora Christine speeds into the unknown. Enormously exhilarating, gripping and enjoyable, Tau Zero is the ultimate sense-of-wonder story. Fuelled by daring scientific speculation and tense human drama, it underlines Poul Anderson's place as one of the foremost SF writers:- Review(s): "Magnificent. A sense of timelessness, human eternity, and the order of the cosmos. Builds to an overpowering climax" - Barry Malzberg / "Imaginative and at times brilliant" - The Sunday Times / "The ultimate hard science fiction novel" - James Blish:- (original cost £9.99).

With an introduction by Adam Roberts. A part of the Gollancz 50 Collection series of books:- Synopsis:- Eric is the Discworld's only demonology hacker. Pity he's not very good at it. All he wants is his three wishes granted. Nothing fancy - to be immortal, rule the world, have the most beautiful woman in the world fall madly in love with him, the usual stuff. But instead of a tractable demon, Eric calls up Rincewind, probably the most incompetent wizard in the universe, and his extremely intractable and hostile form of travel accessory, the Luggage. With them on his side, Eric's in for a ride through space and time that is bound to make him wish that he'd never been born:- Review(s): "He is screamingly funny. He is wise. He has style" - Daily Telegraph / "To say Pratchett is popular is a bit like saying the Arctic Circle is a bit nippy" - Sunday Express:- (original cost £8.99).

Hardback: 9½" x 6¼". Condizione: Very Good: Light signs of wear. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. Cover Art: Kevin Jenkins (illustratore). 1st Edition. © 1999: 3rd in the 'Orokon' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: The vision came in the wilderness long ago, commanding the Sultan's ancestor to lead his peoples to the place that would be called the Sacred City. There, deep within a rocky cavern, there burns an immense, roaring column of fire: the Sacred Flame. Worshipped by millions, it is the source of the Sultan's power. But the flame harbours a terrible secret - and so does the Sultan. For generations, the Sultans of Kal-Theron have held their desert realm in a cruel, implacable grip, but now, as a ruthless invader threatens, not even the Sacred Flame may save the ancient empire. Into this seething hotbed of political machinations and rebellion stumbles Prince Jamany, son of Ejland's deposed king and true heir to the throne, as he plunges into the next stage of his perilous quest, seeking the long-lost crystals of the Orokon. Already the anti-god, Toth-Vexrah, has burst free from the Realm of Unbeing and is working his evil upon the susceptible and easily swayed. Only Jem stands in his way, but now he faces dangers closer at hand. In an Arabian Nights world of eunuchs and genies, magic carpets and mysterious veiled women, dark magic is stirring. Cut off from his companions, Jem is trapped in the bizarre, horrifying dreamworld of the enchanter Almoran. Meanwhile, his lost love Cata becomes embroiled with the Shimmering Princess, the idol of millions, whose fate holds the key to the Sultan's empire - and to the whereabouts of the pulsing red crystal of the fire god Theron. Rich in horror and high adventure, outrageous comedy and aching romance, 'Sultan Of The Moon And Stars', the third volume in Tom Arden's compelling fantasy epic, is a lush and startling tapestry of dreams and danger, marvels and mystery, treason and tyranny, where luxury meets squalor, innocence meets depravity, and gods descend into the human world:- (original cost £16.99).

Cover Art: Kevin Jenkins (illustratore). 1st Edition. © 2000: 4th in the 'Orokon' series of books. 1st edition, 1st printing:- Synopsis: In a time lost in legend, the many Isles of Wenaya were united in worship of Javander, goddess of the seas. From her vast, fantastical palace beneath the waves, Javander presided over a caste of priestesses, linked in a thrumming psychic web. Then the web was broken, Javander's people turned to false gods and the priestesses who once served her so well became the evil Sisterhood of the Blue Storm. Ten boys on the cusp of adulthood arrive on the empty tropical island of Xaro to undergo their Manhood Trial, an age-old ritual meant to build character as they leave childhood behind. They thought they could survive alone. But that was before the killing began. That was before the Blue Storm. To this island of dark magic come Jem and his companions, pursuing their mystic quest for the long-lost crystals of the Orokon, desperate to find Javander's blue jewel before Jem's evil rival, the anti-god Toth-Vexrah, gets there. Never has the quest been so perilous. Meanwhile the beautiful young Triarch's daughter, Selinda, determined to escape ritual murder, begins a strange odyssey of her own that soon entangles her in Jem's quest. And so begins a bizarre and phantasmagorical tale, where slave galleys, ghost ships, shipwrecks and sea monsters are only preludes to Jem's confrontation with the evil Sisterhood. Bursting with marvels and strange magic, 'Sisterhood Of The Blue storm', the fourth volume in Tom Arden's enthralling fantasy epic, is a whirling fantasia of swashbuckling adventure, tragedy and triumph, of comedy and romance, of heart-stopping action and unforgettable, larger-than-life characters, caught up in a quest on which hangs the fate of the world:- Review(s): "It's grim. It's witty. The story is so cleverly written, the characters are so engaging/enraging. Vastly entertaining on several levels" - The SF Site / "Witty, stylish and gloriously convoluted" - Dave Langford, Amazon_co_uk / "Altogether, great fun" - Interzone:- (original cost £17.99).

Previous owners neat name sticker to front endpaper:- Synopsis: The Republic: a human-run interstellar government caught between the Carli Confederation and the H'Allevae Coreward Alliance, trying to maintain its independence in the face of two huge galactic powers. A political incident is brewing on Polar City, which might cost the Republic it's autonomy. A Carli artifact is missing along with a bureaucrat from the Confederation Embassy. And Yosef Mbaye, a troubled athlete from the successful Polar City Bears, is being blackmailed to carry something with him to the Galactic Series on Arah, the capital planet of the Republic. When Yosef refuses to let Bobbie Lacey help him find the blackmailer, and the blackmailer turns up dead, Bobbie can't leave it alone. Whatever Yosef is carrying could lose the Bears - and everyone else - a whole lot more than the Galactic series. 'Polar City Nightmare' is an unputdownable thriller set in a future at once familiar and alien, an intricate setting brought alive by the brilliant combined talents of Katherine Kerr and Kate Daniel:- (original cost unmarked).

A part of the Gollancz SF Collectors' Editions series of books:- Synopsis: Wompler's Walking Babies once put Millford, Utah, on the map. But they aren't selling like they used to. In fact, they aren't selling at all, and the only alternative to winding up the company is to tap the government for a research grant. And so Wompler Research Laboratories and project 32 come into being. The plan is to produce self-replicating mechanisms; identical cells equipped to repair intracellular breakdowns, convert power from their environment and create new cells. But suddenly the nondescript grey boxes are crawling around the laboratory, feeding voraciously on any metal they come across - and multiplying at an alarming rate. John Sladek's first SF novel, 'The Reproductive System' announced the arrival of one of the most imaginative and funniest of all modern American SF writers. Tinged with melancholy and imbued with insight, it is a classic novel that explores the relationship between humans and robots:- Review(s): "Tremendously funny and farcical. Torrents of invention and good-humoured malice" - Brian W Aldiss / "Brilliant" - J G Ballard / "Superb entertainment. It is full of invention, wit and subtly sad comedy. Will surely become a classic" - Sunday Times:- (original cost £9.99).

Originally serialised in the UK style magazine The Face, beginning in 1989, and collected as a graphic novel in 1992:- Synopsis: How do you make sense of your life? Somewhere in London a film director is dying of cancer. His life's crowning achievement, his greatest film, would have told the story of a European village as the last hour of 999 AD approached - the midnight which the villagers were convinced would bring with it Armageddon. Now that story will never be told. But he's still pointlessly working it out in his head, making a film that no one will ever see. No-one but us:- Review(s): "'Signal To Noise' does not entertain. It scratches, it provokes, it frightens. It tells you things you don't want to know but then twists you inside out by saying, look harder and see the poignance, the beauty of light dancing on life's edge, truth that is as simple and direct as death" - Jonathan Carroll, from his introduction:- (original cost £9.99).

Returning to her class reunion after fifteen years, Miranda Romanac has her heart set on meeting James Stillman once again. Her first boyfriend, her life's never quite measured up to the ideal he represented for her. She is devastated, therefore, to learn of his death three years before, in a car crash. Her life settles back into its routine in New York, but things start to change when she meets the fabulous Frances Hatch, mistress of many of the great artists in Paris in the twenties. At the same time, Miranda starts an affair with Hugh, a married man. Then she sees James Stillman again, waving to her across the street. Is it possible? Oh yes, and things are just beginning for her. Through a series of extraordinary events, Miranda learns from both the living and the dead just who she really is and how far back her history goes. It is not a happy discovery but there is the possibility of redemption. If she has the courage and imagination to recapture a life she once thought her own, there is a chance. But if she fails, there will be hell to pay. And more:- (original cost £16.99).

And humankind, depending for warmth on a constantly renewed but woefully inadequate Moon, wracked by hunger and ruled by a slavish conformity to tradition is dying out.

They live on an otherwise uninhabited island in a remote part of the Indonesian ocean. The island has no real name, but Prabir calls it Teranesia and populates it with imaginary creatures even stranger than the evolutionarily puzzling butterflies that his parents are studying. Thirty years into the third millennium, the discovery of bizarre new species on and around Teranesia draws Prabir's biologist sister Maddy back to the island. Prabir has reasons of his own for fearing what she might find there and persuades a pharmaceutical researcher on the lookout for biological bounty to take him along as her guide. Who will get there first, Prabir or Maddy? And what will they find? An evolutionary leap forward, a new humanity or the evanescent ghosts of past lies?:- Review(s): "One of the genre's great ideas men" - The Times / "Egan's future fascinates" - SF Eye / "Achieves what the fiction of ideas should always aspire to" - The Modern Review / "The Universe may be stranger than we can imagine, but it's going to have a tough time outdoing Egan.

And every human alive wakes to the calls of mammoths. A vast sheet of ice sits on the North Pole, immense, brooding. Glaciers jut from the ice cap like claws, pulverising rock layers and carving out fjords and lakes. South of the ice, immense plains sweep around the planet, darkened by herds of mighty herbivores. And chief amongst them are countless mammoths. Secure in their ancient history, fearing no other animal, the mammoths little suspect that their time is nearly over. Separated from his family, the young bull Longtusk begins a lonely odyssey that will take him into the heart of a new, alien culture. Captured and trained by The Lost - pale predators sweeping up from the South - Longtusk faces a bleak future. But it is a future that will take him to the ends of his ice-bound world, a destiny that will see him immortalised in mammoth legend. And all the generations to come will owe everything to Longtusk - the only bull to be mentioned in the great story cycle of the mammoths:- Review(s): "A stunning talent" - Locus:- (original cost £16.99).

Peter Grant, Detective Constable and apprentice wizard, now plays a key role in an unprecedented joint operation to bring Chorley to justice. But even as the unwieldy might of the Metropolitan Police bears down on its foe, Peter uncovers clues that Chorley, far from being finished, is executing the final stages of a long term plan. A plan that has its roots in London's two thousand bloody years of history, and could literally bring the city to its knees. To save his beloved city Peter's going to need help from his former best friend and colleague, Lesley May, who brutally betrayed him and everything he thought she believed in. And far worse, he might even have to come to terms with the malevolent supernatural killer and agent of chaos known as Mr Punch. Future classics.

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. 1st Edition. First edition, first impression. Some very slight edge wear to top of spine, corners very slightly bruised, not price clipped (£16.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread. 564pp. A major literary novel set against the end of the First World War, the inter war years, and the start of the Second World War. The narrative is the life of Yves Beauchamp, told as he lies dying in a Vancouver hospice. From his education at a brutal British public school, the story moves to his battle experiences in France as a junior officer in 1917, to his involvement in the post war resurgence of Germany, and his debauched tour through the ruins of Europe in 1946. Yves' auditor is a troubled architect, a volunteer at the hospice, preoccupied by marital turmoil, but increasingly overwhelmed by the old man's narrative. Yves' story centers on his relationship with a German officer, Werner Schacht, whom he meets during the last days of the war in 1918, then again in Paris during the negotiation of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919. Their difficult friendship, and Yves' romance with a German speaking French nurse from Alsace, bring out the lethal flaw at the heart of the Treaty. As the peace unravels, Werner and Yves make an attempt to stay the tyranny of events, ending in disaster for them both. The story includes descriptions of the Battle of Cambrai of 1917, the politics of the Treaty, the failed coup against National Socialism in 1938, and the almost successful plot to assassinate Hitler in 1944. The hideous fate of Werner Schacht as one of the plotters captured after the failed attempt is the climax of the book, based on a reel of film made to satisfy Hitler's revenge, but later lost in the chaos as the War ended. A description of the shocking celluloid images has never before been attempted, here recreated by Grieve from German archives and witness statements. The author's acclaimed debut novel.

The Land is in turmoil, and Lord Foul has plans for them all.

It is the ideal introduction to the background of the LORD OF THE RINGS for the legions of new fans.
