Eliot.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A “dark, restrained, and powerful” mirror of current politics from the Science Fiction Grand Master (Science Fiction Ruminations). In the barren landscape of the late Cambrian period, a penal colony sits high above the ocean on the east coast of what would become the United States. The men—political prisoners—have been sent from the twenty-first century on a one-way ticket to a lifetime of exile. Their lonely existence has taken its toll . . . Jim Barrett was once the physically imposing leader of an underground movement dedicated to toppling America’s totalitarian government. Now he is nothing but a crippled old man, the camp’s de facto ruler due to his seniority. His mind is still sharp, having yet to succumb to the psychosis that claims more and more men each day. So when a new prisoner is transported to the colony—a startlingly young and suspiciously apolitical man—Barrett’s instincts go on high alert. As Barrett reminisces about his revolutionary past, he uncovers the new prisoner’s secrets—and faces a shocking revelation that thrusts him into a future he never dreamed possible . . . “One of the finest writers ever to work in science fiction.” —The Philadelphia Inquirer

Download or read book Potpourri written by Rick Lawton and published by . This book was released on 2021-04 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Potpourri is a collection of thirteen of Rick Lawton's stories. In his opening, "Prelude", the author opines about the difficulties in remembering what exactly happened and what exactly he wrote at a particular time and concludes that it doesn't matter because we inevitably shape and re-shape the past, present, and even the future in our imagination. The author's stories are a rediscovery of what he was imagining at a certain time and place in his life. Thematically, the stories are about personal identity, what it means to reinvent oneself, and finding a place of refuge. "Name Game" is about a perplexed G.I. in Germany during the Viet Nam War worried about who he will be when he comes home; "Trash Pad" shows the impulse to change in a man whose apartment has become too public; "The Rug" shows what happens to a man in middle age whose hair starts falling; "The DVD" shows how a technical innovation can highlight the problem of commitment in a couple in New York City. The stories are humorous and ironic and also contain a poignancy which makes the characters real. The collection finishes with four shorter stories set in San Francisco and the last story, "Home", takes place in a botanical garden.
Book Synopsis A Potpourri of Irish Tales by : Mark Baird
Download or read book A Potpourri of Irish Tales written by Mark Baird and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2022-11-07 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Potpourri of Irish Tales is a collection of ten stories which have an imaginative, wide-ranging variety, many with an element of surprise and of the unexpected. Most of the stories are set in Belfast; some of them chronicle a time before the 'Troubles' started when the city wore an uneasy cloak of dull respectability, while others convey the frightening sectarian bitterness of the conflict. Other stories reflect the human condition in its infinite variety whether it is the middle-aged lonely bachelor who discovers he has a twin sister that he was unaware of, or the schoolboy whose spontaneous action causes the death of two men. The first story of the collection, 'Napoleon's Nose', will appeal to the hearts of those who long for the innocence of childhood and the simplicity of an era long past; and similarly, 'Broken Window' is a semi-fictional account of a schoolboy incident involving one of Belfast's iconic sporting heroes. Whatever the context, these stories are vividly told, written with effortless skill and empathy, and captures the essence of a time and place fast fading from memory.
