From the vaults of the SF Gateway, the most comprehensive digital
library of classic SFF titles ever assembled, comes an ideal
introduction to the work of the WORLD FANTASY AWARD-winning author,
Garry Kilworth. In addition to a decorated career in SF and
fantasy, Garry Kilworth has been twice shortlisted for the
prestigious CARNEGIE MEDAL for his children's writing and is a
highly regarded writer of historical military adventure novels.
This omnibus collects his critically acclaimed Navigator Kings
trilogy, THE ROOF OF VOYAGING, THE PRINCELY FLOWER and
LAND-OF-MISTS.
When a stranger from the past arrives in the middle of the night
with shocking news, Jack, Annie, and Davey are catapulted into the
wildest adventure they've ever had. Their parents have been
arrested on suspicion of being spies. Not only in a different
country but in a different time--Prague, 1903. The children travel
back in time and find themselves face to face with danger, mystery,
and the magic of a strange place. "Where are their parents and who
has stolen the key to the time machine? Will our young heroes be in
time to save their parents from siniser Karlstein Castle? And even
if they do, how will they return to the present day without the
key?" Alchemists, mythical creatures, and a man with a hook for a
hand hold the answers they're looking for.
Rookie Biker in the Outback is a non-fiction account of a
motorcycle ride through the Australian Outback on a Honda 110
motorbike. The adventure lasted 12 days with nights spent camping
in one-man tents and the journey covering 4000 kilometres.
A set of beautifully crafted tales of the imagination by a writer
who was smitten by the magic of the speculative short story at the
age of twelve and has remained under its spell ever since.
These few stories cover three closely related sub-genres: science
fiction, fantasy and horror. In the White Garden murders are taking
place nightly, but who is leaving the deep foot-prints in the
flower beds? Twelve men are locked in the jury room, but thirteen
emerge after their deliberations are over. In a call centre serving
several worlds, the staff are less than helpful when things go
wrong with a body-change holiday.
Three of the stories form a set piece under the sub-sub-genre
title of 'Anglo-Saxon Tales'. This trilogy takes the reader back to
a time when strange gods ruled the lives of men and elves were
invisible creatures who caused mayhem among mortals.
Garry Kilworth has created a set of stories that lift readers out
of their ordinary lives and place them in situations of nightmare
and wonder, or out among far distant suns. Come inside and meet
vampires, dragons, ghosts, aliens, weremen, people who walk on
water, clones, ghouls and marvellous wolves with the secret of life
written beneath their eyelids.
'Kilworth's stories are delightfully nuanced and carefully
wrought.' "Publishers Weekly"
'A bony-handed clutch of short stories, addictive and
hallucinatory.' "The Times"
'Here is a writer determined and well equipped to contribute to
the shudder-count.' "The Guardian"

This collection of horror stories will slap you in the face, kick
you in the teeth and burn cigarette holes in your couch. These
stories of pool halls, whiskey, junkies, and angel-tinged lunacy
reach to the edge of human endurance and push all the harder. A
detective wakes up in a shallow grave with a bullet hole in his
chest and a taste for brains. A drug dealer tortures the
privileged. A whorehouse keeps a strange "pet" and a man discovers
the secret to all human passion. These seven stories, written by
some of the best writers of modern fiction including Garry
Kilworth, Ron Damien Malfi, Michael Boatman and Michael Hemmingson,
will dull the pain of the hole that Hubert Selby jr.'s death left
in your nasty bitter heart.
