THE ORIGINAL "BUCK ROGERS" SF CLASSIC! By Philip Francis Nowlan.
"Armageddon - 2419 A.D." - Buck, a victim of accidental suspended
animation, awakens five hundred years later to discover America
groaning under the tyranny of the villainous Han, ruling from the
safety of their armored machine-cities. Falling in love with one of
America's new warrior-women, Wilma Deering, Rogers soon become a
central figure in using newly-developed scientific weapons -
disintegrators, jumping belts, inertron, and paralysis rays - to
revolt against the Han. "Airlords of Han" - He and beloved,
warrior-woman Wilma Deering, must lead a desperate a battle to the
finish against a superior foe - using futuristic weapons such as
disintegrators, jumping belts, inertron, paralysis rays, and atomic
torpedoes. The climatic conflict features a special effects battle
of ships and rays that would challenge even today's greatest
filmmakers to reproduce successfully on film.
This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
"Here, once more, is a real scientifiction story plus. It is a
story which will make the heart of many readers leap with joy."
"We have rarely printed a story in this magazine that for
scientific interest, as well as suspense, could hold its own with
this particular story. We prophesy that this story will become more
valuable as the years go by. It certainly holds a number of
interesting prophecies, of which no doubt, many will come true. For
wealth of science, it will be hard to beat for some time to come.
It is one of those rare stories that will bear reading and
re-reading many times."
"This story has impressed us so favorably, that we hope the
author may be induced to write a sequel to it soon."
-- from an editorial note in "Amazing Stories, " August 1928
In Sex, Wives, and Warriors, our understanding of Old Testament
narrative is expanded though Phillip Francis Esler's application of
an intercultural reading of the texts, focusing on the question:
"What would ancient readers have understood from these stories?"
This approach reveals previously undiscovered levels of meaning in
the Old Testament which readers all too often fail to place in its
original cultural and historical context. Esler draws on a wide
range of disciplines, and in particular brings the techniques and
insights of the social sciences to bear in his analysis. Not only
is this reading contextualised and its significance for the Ancient
Israelites explored, but Esler utilises scholarship on myth
structure and Jungian archetypes to further clarify this original
understanding. This is a book ideal for anyone wishing a closer
engagement with the biblical texts. Esler makes the narratives
resonate with pivotal stories from the Christian and Jewish
tradition and in doing so inspires us with their imaginative and
literary power and enhances our capacity for intercultural
understanding.
In this widely-acclaimed study, Dr Esler makes extensive use of
sociology and anthropology to examine the author of Luke Acts'
theology as a response to social and political pressures upon the
Christian community for whom he was writing. As well as interesting
those concerned with prevalent developments in New Testament
scholarship, Esler's book offers a New Testament paradigm for those
interested in generating a theology attuned to the social and
political realities affecting the twentieth-century Christian
congregations.
