They left behind everything that mattered to them-- friends, lovers, country-- to journey to the stars. Now Sergeant Flynn Taggart and Pfc. Arlene Sanders, USMC, have reached their destination... the homeworld of the demon invaders who destroyed Earth. But there, they find a scene of destruction that rivals any they left back on Earth. And suddenly, "Fly" and Arlene find themselves face-to-face with an even deadlier enemy than the demons they came to fight. The war for Earth is over. But the battle for the stars has just begun...
The Gates were there on Phobos when mankind first arrived. Inert,
unyielding, impossibly alien constructs, for twenty years they sat
lifeless, mute testaments to their long-vanished creators, their
secrets hidden. Then one day, they sprang to life...
From 1936 to 1939, in the war torn world of the Spanish Civil War, proponents of every major intellectual, economic, political, and philosophical movement of the 20th Century came together for what most believed was to be an epic battle for the future of mankind. Artists, literary imigris, reporters, philosophers, literary giants, and political activists all poured in to Spain to be where the action was NOW, in Brad Linaweaver's and Kent Hastings' epic: ANARQUMA: An Alternate History of the Spanish Civil War, a new vision of the Spanish Civil War has been brought to life. Two revolutionaries who, in our universe would become twin stars of the firmaments of Hollywood and Cape Kennedy become instead, in the universe of Anarquma, the twin fulcrums on which pivot the hopes of the future. Hedy Lamarr and Wernher von Braun join Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell, John Dos Passos, Ayn Rand, G. K. Chesterton, and a host of others who populate Linaweaver's and Hastings' universe in the alternate history Spanish Civil War universe of ANARQUMA.
Fay and Clive knew they were in trouble when they were abducted into another world where their grandfather was an evil wizard. They found the new surroundings more disturbing than the fact that Grandfather was dead. For one thing, there was no sun but there was eternal light. And then there were the monsters . . . . This new fantasy from a master of horrific suspense deals with a topic that is anything but fantasy--the soaring divorce rates of the last few decades and the dire impact on America's young. A long time professional in science fiction, fantasy, and horror, Linaweaver considers "The Land Beyond Summer" to be his most imaginative work. He has won awards and been on best seller lists but he says that none of that work drew from the place of his deepest dreams. Land is unique in his output and too controversial for conventional publishers of books for Young Adults. The story is about a brother and sister's adventures in a dimension where the seasons are physical countries. They are on a mission to rescue their parents who are imprisoned there. The quest they undertake is a challenge to their very souls. The fate of the seasons hangs in the balance. Readers of C.S. Lewis will recognize the issues at stake while fans of H.P. Lovecraft will feel right at home with Linaweaver's bizarre creatures.
The Prometheus Award-winning author of "Alongside Night" and "The Rainbow Cadenza" offers a collection of his short fiction, including two never-before-seen stories.
After the publication of his Prometheus-Award-winning science fiction novel, The Rainbow Cadenza in 1983, J. Neil Schulman published no new books until 1994. What became of this promising author's career in the missing decade? What happened was the sale of a film treatment to a major movie production company in late 1983 and the broadcast of Schulman's original script, "Profile in Silver, " on CBS's revived Twilight Zone series at 8:00 PM EST, March 7, 1986. For most of the 80's and early 90's, J. Neil Schulman was writing screenplays and stories, including other scripts for The Twilight Zone. You never saw Schulman's second Twilight Zone script, "Colorblind, " a scathing attack on prejudice which Harlan Ellison slammed as "too knee-jerk liberal" for production. You never saw the movie Schulman wrote about the divorce proceedings of the Prince and Princess of Wales, written when the tabloids were still portraying their marriage as a fairy tale come true. You never got to see the musical screenplay J. Neil Schulman wrote, where a rock band invades a symphony orchestra, or his screen story about the discovery of ancient artifacts on Mars, or his story about a cross-dimensional time-traveller we first meet at 16 when he's seduced by an older supermodel at the 1976 World Science Fiction Convention, or the unsold spec script he co-wrote for Star Trek: The Next Generation, in which the Enterprise causes an ecological disaster on a planet for endangered species...and the Ferengi save the day. Now you can use your imagination to see all these stories in your own private screening room, and learn the stories behind the stories as Schulman tells about his own adventures inmovieland. For devotees of TV, movies, and science fiction, this book shows that sometimes the stories that aren't on the screen are as compelling as the ones that are.
