Book excerpt: The Last Man is a post-apocalyptic science fiction novel by Mary Shelley, which was first published in 1826. The book tells of a future world that has been ravaged by a plague. The novel was harshly reviewed at the time, and was virtually unknown until a scholarly revival beginning in the 1960s. It is notable in part for its semi-biographical portraits of Romantic figures in Shelley's circle particularly Shelley's late husband Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron

Book excerpt: The Last Man Anthology takes inspiration from Mary Shelley's novel, The Last Man, and showcases short stories and poems that build on the theme of finality-of being last. From experiencing the last snowmelt to taking part of the last day on Earth, The Last Man Anthology propels catastrophic literature into the twenty-first century while staying true to Shelley's timeless themes of chaos and isolation. How would it feel to know you were experiencing your last day on Earth? What would the end of the world look like to the Greek gods, the last bookstore owner, or the last philosopher? The story settings range from the fringes of Outer Space, to the last museum, to New York City the day before September 11, 2001, to Brighton Street with the last teddybear, and many more. Includes veteran writers Ray Bradbury, C. J. Cherryh, Barry N. Malzberg, along with such classic sci-fi authors as H. G. Wells, Edgar Allen Poe, and Jack London, and an assortment of contemporary writers from four continents. We're also honored to have a third grader make the cut . Catastrophic short stories and poems that deal with end of the world scenarios, cataclysms, disasters and other apocalyptic events. "A hauntingly beautiful collection of tales by new and established authors." www.swordandsagapress.com

Book excerpt: "A delightful find ... anthology series that attempts to collect the early days of perhaps the greatest SF magazine, Amazing Stories, the Grand Old Lady of the pulps. The editors also include the interior illustrations, including work by Frank R. Paul and F. S. Hynd." -Black Gate magazineThe newest volume of this widely-acclaimed anthology series showcases memorable stories from the pens of the era's most celebrated authors:Clare Winger Harris and Miles J. Breuer, MD, give birth to "A Baby on Neptune," a tale whose conceptualization and execution had no parallel until Cyril Kornbluth and Judith Merril's 1951 Mars Child (AKA Outpost Mars).Miles J. Breuer, MD presents one of his patented mind-stretchers, "The Captured Cross-Section," which manages to combine science, adventure and romance without even straining.G. Peyton Wertenbaker takes us into "The Chamber of Life," possibly the first ever tale of virtual reality, which sf critic Sam Moskowitz cited for its "stylistic finish, sophistication and subtlety".Bob Olsen's "The Superperfect Bride," opens new directions in scifi, depicting nudity and arousal for the first time in a science fiction magazine while grappling with questions of identity and humanity. (Sf historian E. F. Bleiler cite it for an "almost surreal in its eroticism.")David H. Keller, MD displays and adroit mastery of the scientific horror yarn in "The Worm", which proves him every bit the equal of H. P. Lovecraft, whose "the Colour Out of Space," had appeared in Amazing two years earlier.Louise Taylor Hansen (an author of books popularizing anthropology and geology) defied gender expectations with a rigorous scientific adventure puzzle, "The Undersea Tube", the spellbinding story of marine disaster in a future where the continents are connected by tubes bored beneath the world's oceans. (The story comes complete with Hansen's own plan and section drawings.)Wallace West offers "The Last Man," focusing on the euphonious character's fate in an all-female society produced through pathogenesis.A Hyatt Verrill hits the heights with "Vampires of the Desert," which Bleiler ranked as "Verrill's best story."Captain S. P. Meek gives readers a true classic in "Futility", a story Bleiler says is "arguably Meek's best," dealing with a computer so advanced it can forecast anyone's date of death (which may well have been the genesis of Robert A. Heinlein's first published story, "Lifeline").Plus all the original illustrations and editorial blurbs for each story, and a fascinating, informative Introduction surveying Amazing Stories 1929.

Download or read book The Last Man written by Vince Flynn and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: #1 New York Times bestselling author Vince Flynn “has never been better” (The Providence Journal) in this high-octane thriller following Mitch Rapp as he searches for a missing CIA asset, whose disappearance puts Rapp’s own life at risk. Joe Rickman has spent the last eight years running the CIA’s clandestine operations in Afghanistan, working with every disreputable figure in the Islamic Republic. When he suddenly goes missing, the initial assumption is kidnapping, but Mitch Rapp knows certain things about his old friend that gives him pause. When he’s ordered to find Rickman, no matter the cost, Rapp knows his mission will be an exceptionally dangerous one. With the Taliban, Iran, Pakistan, and Russia all vying for a piece of the war-torn state and the FBI dispatching their own special agent to investigate, Rapp is facing his most difficult assignment yet. With white-knuckled twists and turns, The Last Man proves once again that Vince Flynn “is a master—maybe the master—of thrillers in which the pages seem to turn themselves” (Book Reporter).
