the wastelands of the Strange to find Silas Mundt&’s gang who have stolen her mother&’s voice, destroyed her father, and left her solely with a need for vengeance in this &“page-turner&” (Rebecca Roanhorse, New York Times bestselling author of Black Sun) from Nathan Ballingrud.Since Anabelle&’s mother left for Earth to care for her own ailing mother, her days in New Galveston have been spent at school and her nights at her laconic father&’s diner with Watson, the family Kitchen Engine and dishwasher, as her only companion. When the Silence came, and communication and shipments from Earth to its colonies on Mars stopped, life seemed stuck in foreboding stasis until the night Silas Mundt and his gang attacked. At once evoking the dreams of an America explored in Ray Bradbury&’s The Martian Chronicles and the harsher realities of frontier life in Charles Portis True Grit, Ballingrud&’s &“brilliant&” (Paul Tremblay, New York Times bestselling author of The Cabin at the End of the World) novel is haunting in its evocation of Annabelle&’s quest for revenge amidst a spent and angry world accompanied by a domestic Engine, a drunken space pilot, and the toughest woman on Mars. Nathan Ballingrud&’s stories have been adapted into the film Wounds and the Hulu series Monsterland, The Strange is his first novel.Fire Time: There Will Be Time, The Enemy Stars, And Fire Time
Par Poul Anderson. 1974
In this classic science fiction adventure, a fiery doomsday threatens an alien world—and the human colonists who have made it…
their home. Firetime is coming to Ishtar. This once-in-a-millennium event occurs when one of the planet&’s three suns encroaches on Ishtar&’s surface, to disastrous effect. The nightmare rapidly approaching, barbaric tribes have declared war on their more civilized brethren in hopes of avoiding a natural extermination. Standing between the opposing forces are the colonists who settled on Ishtar after abandoning their home planet, Earth. But in this time of chaos and destruction, there is little the humans can do to aid their Ishtarian allies in the desperate fight for survival. The Terran powers, engaged in their own terrible conflict with a hostile alien race, will offer no help to the endangered planet. With a fiery doomsday on the way, the humans can do nothing but watch and wait—and pray for a miracle that will forestall the inevitable apocalypse. A stunning work of speculative invention from one of the all-time masters of science fiction and fantasy, Poul Anderson&’s classic Fire Time is a richly imagined tale of war, alien contact, and environmental catastrophe that brilliantly questions the concepts of right and wrong, good and evil, and heroism and villainy.Gold!

F. Ser.)
Par Ursula K. Le Guin, Eric Beddows. 2003
Winner of the PEN/Malamud Award for Short Story A New York Times Notable Book In these &“vivid, entertaining, philosophical dispatches&” (San…
Francisco Chronicle), literary legend Le Guin weaves together influences as wide-reaching as Borges, The Little Prince, and Gulliver&’s Travels to examine feminism, tyranny, mortality and immortality, art, and the meaning—and mystery—of being human. Sita Dulip has missed her flight out of Chicago. But instead of listening to garbled announcements in the airport, she&’s found a method of bypassing the crowds at the desks, the nasty lunch, the whimpering children and punitive parents, and the blue plastic chairs bolted to the floor: she changes planes. Changing planes—not airplanes, of course, but entire planes of existence—enables Sita to visit societies not found on Earth. As &“Sita Dulip&’s Method&” spreads, the narrator and her acquaintances encounter cultures where the babble of children fades over time into the silence of adults; where whole towns exist solely for holiday shopping; where personalities are ruled by rage; where genetic experiments produce less than desirable results. With &“the eye of an anthropologist and the humor of a satirist&” (USA Today), Le Guin takes readers on a truly universal tour, showing through the foreign and alien indelible truths about our own human society.Welcome to Demon School!

iconic Marvel heroes.So many worlds, so little time. Infinite possibilities, creating infinite realities. Long have I watched the trickster god sow chaos. But . . . what if Loki saved Asgard from Tony Stark&’s revenge? Thor—Son of Odin, God of Thunder, Wielder of Mjolnir—is dead. And Loki is responsible. It was meant to be only a joke—tampering with the Destroyer, changing Thor&’s course to Midgard—a bit of mischief with a chance of maiming. But Loki&’s harmless prank spiraled out of control, unleashing death and destruction on New York City and the heroes sworn to protect it. The city was saved, at the cost of Thor&’s life. Furious and heartbroken, the All-Father banishes Loki to Earth for his crime. Loki finds himself in a realm of boxed wine, instant noodles, and some sort of regional performance troupe known as the &“Buffalo Bills.&” It&’s a meager existence, far from Asgard&’s grand courts, but he finds his new friend, Brian the Gecko, a much more engaging companion than the sycophants back home. It&’s a true meeting of the minds. Loki is the God of Mischief—but he knows, deep down, that he never truly deserved to stand next to their father&’s golden child, Thor, as two true sons of Odin. Yet he cannot endure his exile in peaceful isolation. A Valkyrie—Hel-bent on carrying out her oath to Thor—barges into Loki&’s trailer home with his brother&’s final words from the beyond: a plea to find a certain Dr. Jane Foster and pass the hammer Mjolnir on to its rightful heir. While Loki struggles to fulfil his brother&’s last request, the far-reaching consequences of his fatal prank return to haunt him. Blinded by grief over those he lost in the chaos wrought by Asgard, Iron Man vows revenge on those who consider themselves gods. Determined to protect Earth from the might of this unpredictable alien power, Stark forges Asgard&’s own weaponry into a lethal suit of armor, set on eradicating any tether between their worlds—consequences be damned. When Asgard looks to Loki for salvation, he must answer the question: Am I truly worthy?Lake of Souls: The Collected Short Fiction

terra a metà di una lezione. Facendo acrobazie sulla sedia, mi allungai il più possibile e, sorpresa, non solo si mosse ma partì a razzo verso la mia faccia facendomi cadere. Mi vergognai da morire e ciò provocò le risate di tutti i miei compagni tranne che di Emma, la ragazza di cui ero innamorato. Lei vide tutto e, invece di prendermi in giro, mi diede appuntamento in una vecchia chiesa abbandonata dove mi mostrò un logoro libro di testo che parlava di magia... Ah, quasi dimenticavo, mi chiamo Ben. Ben Stone. Da quel momento la mia vita si complicò. Da quel momento fui costretto a viaggiare nel mondo originale della magia, Baem, dove scoprii che quegli incubi non erano semplici sogni, che una grande minaccia incombeva su quel luogo... e che ero io l'unico a poterla combattere."
