There are heroes among us...or at least there were. After a
meteorite shower imbued people with amazing powers the world became
a strange and colourful place, but they have all vanished now,
leaving only memories. When Shard Industries is attacked by Data
Pirates it is up to Erik Neptune to grasp the mantle that his
father had worn and become the hero Helm - for without a hero
nothing can save them. But whether he has powers or not, Erik has
little chance against the forces gathering to oppose him, forces
with plans to manipulate the entire human race...
This disparate collection features poems, stories and essays by the
editors of the zine Eschaton. Often odd but always interesting,
this book showcases the major themes of imagination and creativity
through the unique filter of two very individual writers.
The regular writers of the zine Eschaton gather together for a
series of conversations about the nature of writing and the
imagination. This book is an insight into the work of each of these
individual writers, but it is also a window onto the nature of
creativity. This collection of interviews is for readers and
writers and all those who love words.
All Drudge Kipling wanted was a nice drinks cabinet to spend the
evening with. Instead she has to save a living story from an angry
mob of mime artists, and the only way to do it is to wade through a
collection of disparate tales and figure out how to save them
before the Illiterati have them all burnt. A collection of the odd,
the strange and the downright weird. These short stories are
written by regular writers for the literary zine Eschaton and
feature elements of fantasy and science fiction.

Reborn time and again throughout the ages, one soul struggles
through loss and horror towards enlightenment. Sometimes hero,
sometimes villain, he is always the touchstone upon which humanity
will be judged, a scapegoat, a prisoner, a victim...an Everyman.
This is a fantasy story told through numerous historical ages, from
a medieval morality play to an impossible enlightenment prison and
beyond.
The stories of myth and legend tell of a mighty battle fought on
the field of Camlann, a final battle where father and son clashed
at the heads of two titanic armies, where the last chapter of King
Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table was finally played out.
This is, of course, a lie. The final days of Camelot were far
darker, far stranger and far more deadly than any bard has ever
told, and Camlann was only the beginning. As Lancelot returned, as
Guinevere was reinstated as Queen, and as Arthur sought for one
last time to heal the land that it was his birthright to protect, a
brooding menace grew in strength threatening to tear the kingdom
apart forever. In the last days of the Age of Magic a menace would
come that none foresaw, and against whom not even the fabled
Knights of the Round Table could survive. A menace known only as
Merlin...

This book features a series of short stories under the theme of
'the last' that are written and illustrated by the team of Rocco
Bosco and Darran Jordan. The last soldier faces a different kind of
war, the last bullet is fired in an attempt to save lives, the last
supper is served to a changeable beast and the last flower finally
blooms. These are experimental black and white comics that play
with the poetic to deliver their haunting tales.
So, you're a Doctor Who fan looking for a new book to read. You
might be an expert on Verity Lambert and Sydney Newman, Barry Letts
and Terrance Dicks, Russell T Davies and Julie Gardner...but have
you ever heard of Matthew Kopelke and Witold Tietze? Why not read a
Doctor Who story that you've never heard before...the story of its
fans! When the series stopped production after 1989 its many
followers were devastated. Spinning out of the Brisbane Doctor Who
Fan Club in Australia, one group of fans decided to do something
about it, making their own amateur productions. They would go on to
build a strong fan base and attract the talents of professional
Doctor Who writers and designers. This book chronicles their story
and the story of the show itself, from the end of the classic era,
through the Wilderness Years and on to the successful 2005
re-emergence. You might know everything there is to know about
Doctor Who, but this book puts that into a new perspective - that
of the Whovian.

Popular culture has often presented a mythologised version of
archaeology that at times misinforms the general public about
broader academic intentions. The fantastic and bizarre continue to
capture the public imagination, so that while archaeological teams
excavate, survey and record, they occupy the same geographic
locations as ghost tour operators and seekers of the supernatural.
Not only does archaeology operate within the same geography as
modern mythology, but widespread access to technology, from
satellite imagery to GPS data, means that enthusiastic amateurs can
partake in their own investigations. With limited landscape
identification training, an enthusiasm for discovery and strange
cultural biases, fringe operators have utilised new technologies to
justify old fallacies through variant forms of amateur
archaeology.This collection draws on the wealth of work currently
being undertaken by contemporary archaeologists in Australia, from
rock art observations to art/archaeology experiments and even space
archaeology. It explores archaeology on the edge, contextualising
the fringe dwellers that operate on the periphery of accepted
academia. It also looks at contemporary archaeological theory and
practice in relation to these fringe operators, developing
approaches toward interaction, in contrast to the more common
reaction of repudiation. The relationship between the accepted
centre and the outer edge in contemporary archaeological practice
and theory unveils much about popular misconceptions and how
archaeological spaces can be overlaid with variant mythological and
cultural interpretations.
