Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Best-selling author Fred Saberhagen created three popular series: his Berserker stories and novels telling of the endless war of humans and their alien allies against the Berserkers, gigantic robot battleships programmed by an unknown extinct race to destroy all life in the galaxy; his high fantasy Lost Swords series; and his Dracula series, the first novels to tell a story from the vampire's point of view.

Book Synopsis Saberhagen The Early Tales by : Fred Saberhagen
Download or read book Saberhagen The Early Tales written by Fred Saberhagen and published by JSS Literary Productions, LLC. This book was released on 2021-06-17 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide range of ideas are explored and worlds created in this collection of thirteen of Fred Saberhagen’s early short works of science fiction and fantasy. All the stories were written between 1960 and 1976. Included are two works set in Fred’s world of veils and startling landscapes known as Azlaroc. A story co-authored with Alexei Panshin takes us back in time, sort-of. Several stories are set in Chicago where alien visitations are recorded, one at the Art Institute another somewhere under Lake Michigan. And at what might be Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry, Fred takes a look into the mind of an early computer named Martha. An alternate history tale with psychic overtones, Life Force, has never appeared in any earlier collections of Fred’s work. So if you missed the July 1974 Galaxy printing, now is your chance to discover one fascinating possibility in a post-nuclear-war world. No Berserker stories appear in this volume. Fred’s Berserker short stories are collected separately in two volumes Berserkers The Early Tales and Berserkers The Later Tales. Entertaining, thought provoking stories from an accomplished science fiction and fantasy author await you.
Book Synopsis Building Imaginary Worlds by : Mark J.P. Wolf
Download or read book Building Imaginary Worlds written by Mark J.P. Wolf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-14 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mark J.P. Wolf’s study of imaginary worlds theorizes world-building within and across media, including literature, comics, film, radio, television, board games, video games, the Internet, and more. Building Imaginary Worlds departs from prior approaches to imaginary worlds that focused mainly on narrative, medium, or genre, and instead considers imaginary worlds as dynamic entities in and of themselves. Wolf argues that imaginary worlds—which are often transnarrative, transmedial, and transauthorial in nature—are compelling objects of inquiry for Media Studies. Chapters touch on: a theoretical analysis of how world-building extends beyond storytelling, the engagement of the audience, and the way worlds are conceptualized and experienced a history of imaginary worlds that follows their development over three millennia from the fictional islands of Homer’s Odyssey to the present internarrative theory examining how narratives set in the same world can interact and relate to one another an examination of transmedial growth and adaptation, and what happens when worlds make the jump between media an analysis of the transauthorial nature of imaginary worlds, the resulting concentric circles of authorship, and related topics of canonicity, participatory worlds, and subcreation’s relationship with divine Creation Building Imaginary Worlds also provides the scholar of imaginary worlds with a glossary of terms and a detailed timeline that spans three millennia and more than 1,400 imaginary worlds, listing their names, creators, and the works in which they first appeared.

When a group of high powered scientists arrive with new ideas for investigation, a former planeteer agrees to assist them.

The Space Force and Boris’ skills will be needed to save this planet. Then, while on vacation on Kappa, an idyllic planet, Boris again is called to action by the Force. A powerful mind-altering native drug threatens the exploitation of the natives and the inevitable addictive behavior of earth-descended humans. Boris must fight his own drug induced demons while struggling to free himself and his companion Brenda from the crazed criminal smugglers.
