'I loved this book. What else is there to say?' Patrick Rothfuss

According to mythology mankind used to live in The Tranquiline Halls. Heaven. But then the Voidbringers assaulted and captured heaven, casting out God and men. Men took root on Roshar, the world of storms. And the Voidbringers followed... They came against man ten thousand times. To help them cope, the Almighty gave men powerful suits of armor and mystical weapons, known as Shardblades. Led by ten angelic Heralds and ten orders of knights known as Radiants, mankind finally won. Or so the legends say.

Today, the only remnants of those supposed battles are the Shardblades, the possession of which makes a man nearly invincible on the battlefield. The entire world is at war with itself - and has been for centuries since the Radiants turned against mankind. Kings strive to win more Shardblades, each secretly wishing to be the one who will finally unite all of mankind under a single throne. On a world scoured down to the rock by terrifying hurricanes that blow through every few day a young spearman forced into the army of a Shardbearer, led to war against an enemy he doesn't understand and doesn't really want to fight.

What happened deep in mankind's past? Why did the Radiants turn against mankind, and what happened to the magic they used to wield?

Come Quickly Dawn offers a unique reading experience. This fully integrated hybrid is both a fast-paced novel and an incisive training tool. It equips one to evangelize in a way that spreads like measles, to make disciples who actively obey Jesus, and to multiply churches or cells. The best way by far to prepare an effective shepherd or church multiplier is to do it as Jesus and Paul did it: take apprentices with them to where the action is happening. Its simulated trip conveys one out of a familiar comfort zone to a setting similar to that of many peoples among whom God is working powerfully, as in the book of Acts.

Speculative fiction is the literature of questions, of challenges and imagination, and what better to question than the ways in which gender and sexuality have been rigidly defined, partitioned off, put in little boxes? These seventeen stories explore the ways in which identity can go beyond binary from space colonies to small college towns, from angels to androids, and from a magical past to other worlds entirely, the authors in this collection have brought to life wonderful tales starring people who proudly define (and redefine) their own genders, sexualities, identities, and so much else in between.

Loeloeraai, wat oorspronklik in 1923 uitgegee is, is heel moontlik die eerste Afrikaanse verhaal in die wetenskapsfiksie-genre. Die meeste van die kleurvolle karakters in die boek is ou bekendes uit Langenhoven se ander verhale, soos Kerneels, Vroutjie, hul dogter Engela, oom Stoffel, swaer Watwo, Herrie, Kerneels se mak olifant en Jakhals, Kerneels se hond. Die ander hoofkarakter is Loeloeraai, 'n onverwagse besoeker van Venus wat een aand met sy ruimtetuig op Kerneels se werf land. Eers is Kerneels-hulle baie agterdogtig oor die wyse vreemdeling vanuit die buitenste ruim, maar gaandeweg leer hulle dat hy in vrede gekom het. Maar ander mense leer gou-gou van Loeloeraai se bestaan en die gereg wil hom in die tronk stop omdat hy die land onwettig binnegekom het... Buiten Langenhoven se humor wat die verhaal kenmerk, kan ons sien watter kennis van die wetenskap en die buitenste ruim reeds in daardie tyd bestaan het en kan ons ook agterkom watter kennis tekortgeskiet het. Loeloeraai se besoek is om meer van die aarde te leer en ook leer hy die mensheid meer van homself en hoe kenmerke soos gierigheid, selfsug en wreedheid die mens se vooruitgang belemmer.
