Two science fiction masters--Jack McDevitt and Mike Resnick--team
up to deliver a classic thriller in which one man uncovers the
hidden history of the United States space program...
""Houston, we have a problem...""
Formerly a cynical, ambitious PR man, Jerry Culpepper finally
found a client he could believe in when he was hired as NASA's
public affairs director. Proud of the Agency's history and sure of
its destiny, he was thrilled to be a part of its future.
But public disinterest and budget cuts changed that future. Now, a
half century after the first Moon landing, Jerry feels like the
only one with stars in his eyes.
Then a fifty-year-old secret about the Apollo XI mission is
revealed, and he finds himself embroiled in the biggest controversy
of the twenty-first century, one that will test his ability--and
his willingness--to spin the truth about a conspiracy of
reality-altering proportions...
Through the tales of Edgar Rice Burroughs, generations of readers
have thrilled to the adventures of Lord Greystoke (aka John
Clayton, but better known as Tarzan of the Apes). In this biography
Philip José Farmer pieces together the life of this fantastic man,
correcting Burroughs’s errors and deliberate deceptions and
tracing Tarzan's family tree back to other extraordinary figures,
including Sherlock and Mycroft Holmes, the Scarlet Pimpernel, Doc
Savage, Nero Wolfe, and Bulldog Drummond. Â Tarzan Alive
offers the first chronological account of Tarzan's life, narrated
in careful detail garnered from Burroughs’s stories and other
sources. From the ill-fated voyage that led to Greystoke's birth on
the isolated African coast to his final adventures as a group
captain in the RAF during World War II, Farmer constructs a
comprehensive and authoritative account. Farmer’s assertion that
Tarzan was a real person has led him to craft a biography as well
researched and compelling as that of any character from
conventional history. This definitive Bison Books edition also
includes Farmer’s “Exclusive Interview with Lord Greystokeâ€
as well as “Extracts from the Memoirs of ‘Lord Greystoke’â€
first anthologized in Mother Was a Lovely Beast.
