Paperback: 7" x 4¼". Condizione: Good: Moderate signs of wear. Cover Art: Jim Burns (illustratore). 1st Edition. © 1999: A stand-alone novel by Richard Calder. 1st edition, 1st printing paperback. Ex-library book with usual markings:- Synopsis: When the Venusians arrived, it all changed. Eaters of our souls, the young women - as they appeared - caused a psychogeographic event to separate the old west of the USA from the rest of the planet. Now, in the 1950's, gunslingers and shootists still ply their trade; good-time girls still hang out in bars; and no modern technology will work. But good old Venusian know-how is in demand to help the US win the Cold War. John Calder has one of the most original imaginations in the history of science fiction. Here he introduces us to John Twist, shootist. To Miss Viva Venera, Venusian necrobabe, who hungers for Twist's soul. And to Nicola E Newton, a young girl who is drawn to them both and whose life - and death - will never be the same. The illegitimate child of Clint Eastwood's 'Unforgiven' and 'Dr Strangelove', yet wholly original, 'The Twist' will enthrall, amuse and shock:- Review(s): ""Stunning" - Science Fiction Age / "As rich, dense and intricate as any recent SF" - The New York Review Of Science Fiction / "Brilliant" - Washington Post Book World / "Dark, edgy and inflicted with just the right degree of lyricism" - William Gibson:- (original cost £5.99).

Above Castledown, the crew of the airship Jerle Shannara find themselves besieged by evil forces, and the Ilse Witch confronts the druid's protege, Bek Rowe, who claims to be the brother she last saw as an infant - now a young man who carries the Sword of Shannara and wields the magic of the wishsong.

Paperback: 7" x 4½". Condizione: Near Fine: Small signs of wear. Cover Art: Larry Rostant / Artist Partners (illustratore). 2003 Edition. © 2002: 2nd in the 'Merlin Codex' series of books. 1st printing of 2003 edition:- Synopsis: Robert Holdstock seamlessly blends myth and history into a fabulous tale of Merlin, hundreds of years before the coming of Arthur. In this acclaimed sequel to 'Celtika', Merlin is returning to Alba, the future England, with his companions, the crew of the resurrected Argo. Wandering the paths of the world, husbanding his magic to keep himself from ageing, Merlin eschews, for the most part, the affairs of men. Few are those he deigns to call 'friend' and fewer those who welcome his friendship - it is not safe to walk for long in the wanderer's strategies. Those who do, both willing and unwilling, must usually pay a price. Caught up in events beyond their ken are characters destined to become the very stuff of legend: the mythic champion Jason; Urtha and his vengeful children; the northern sorceress Niiv; and Kinos, Jason's son, whose appearance is both terrible and tragic. And at the centre, moving along his never-ending path, is Merlin himself, an enchanter in the prime of his life, reckless, curious, powerful, yet a stranger to his own past - a past that is catching up with him:- Review(s): "Quite simply, one of the books of the year" - Infinity Plus / "Robert Holdstock is a powerful mythmaker. His prose has a hauntingly powerful energy that leaves you feeling as though you're breathing in myth as if it were a physical substance" - The Times / "Our finest living mythmaker" - Stephen Baxter:- (original cost £6.99).

When hate and treachery drive them apart, Merlin wanders until a chance meeting leads him to find and raise the hulk of the Argo, which contains the spirit of Jason. Thus a great quest begins, which ends in unlooked-for ways and causes Merlin to travel for the first time to the land which will become England:- Review(s): "Highly recommended" - Interzone / "A complex, intelligent fantasy" - SFX / "A fascinating start to a highly original series" - Starburst / "He has taken a legend and made it his own" - Enigma:- (original cost £6.99).
