Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Lost in Time
Book SynopsisThe SUNDAY TIMES bestseller "Amazing! One of the twistiest time-tales I've ever read." –Diana Gabaldon "Crichtonesque thrillers don't come much better than this... Readers won't be able to turn the pages fast enough." –Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) "Are we talking plot twists? More like spirals. Gripping, clever, mind-bending stuff." –Daily Mail From the worldwide bestselling author of Departure and Winter World comes a standalone novel about a father and daughter trying to unravel an intricate murder mystery spread across time – with a jaw-dropping twist. Control the past. Save the future. One morning, Dr. Sam Anderson wakes up to find that the woman he loves has been murdered. For Sam, the horror is only beginning. He and his daughter are accused of the crime. The evidence is ironclad. They will be convicted. And so, to ensure his daughter goes free, Sam does what he must: he confesses. But in the future, murderers aren't sent to prison. Thanks to a machine Sam helped invent, the world's worst criminals are now sent to the past – approximately 200 million years into the past, to the dawn of the time of the dinosaurs – where they must live out their lives alone, in exile from the human race. Sam accepts his fate. But his daughter doesn't. Adeline Anderson has already lost her mother to a deadly, unfair disease. She can't bear to lose her father as well. So she sets out on a quest to prove him innocent. And to get him back. People around her insist that both are impossible tasks. But Adeline doesn't give up. She only works harder. She soon learns that impossible tasks are her specialty. And that she is made of tougher stuff than she ever imagined. As she peels back the layers of the mystery that tore her father from this world, Adeline finds more questions than answers. Everyone around her is hiding a secret. But which ones are connected to the murder that exiled her father? That mystery stretches across the past, present, and future – and leads to a revelation that will change everything.Trade ReviewOne of the twistiest time-tales I've ever read!

Lanternfish Press The Afterlife of Frankenstein: A Century of Mad
Book SynopsisIn this anthology, scholar of the fantastic David Sandner explores the first hundred years of Frankenstein’s influence. Dr. Frankenstein’s monster is one of the most iconic figures in English literature, popularized through decades of writing, film, and comedy. But even before the invention of film, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein profoundly impacted scores of writers, gathering force for the genre that would ultimately become what we know as science fiction. This collection of short stories and excerpts from work published between 1818 to 1918 demonstrates what a pioneering myth Frankenstein has always been—from the very day when lightning first struck and it opened its eyes on the world. “Fear of age and death often creeps coldly into my heart; and the more I live, the more I dread death, even while I abhor life. Such an enigma is man—born to perish—when he wars, as I do, against the established laws of his nature.” -Mary Shelley, The Mortal Immortal

Book SynopsisPetrus van Stijn’s world is besieged by two prime engines of destruction: massive geomagnetic storms caused by unprecedented solar storms – protracted coronal mass ejections (CME), and climate change wreaking unprecedented, but predictable collapse of the Antarctic ice shelves. Petrus has other problems to contend with, like surviving on a floating archipelago of ice, and then walking 2200 kilometers through a post-Apocalyptic world. At the same time, Petrus will discover something of a true social and biological paradise. Herein lies the paradox of a world where one species – ours – is facing extinction, while others – many genetically re-engineered – are enjoying a biodiversity renaissance.With a Foreword by William Shatner, this provocative, lyrical, deeply philosophical work of fiction explores the ethical limits of science and technology, and the future of all life on earth.Table of ContentsFOREWORDChapter 1 doomsday shelfs Chapter 2 incoming storms Chapter 3 the beryllium-10 factor Chapter 4 absentis diebus quattuor Chapter 5 a clou within the frozen eyewall Chapter 6 doomed logistics Chapter 7 the evacuation attempt Chapter 8 lone Chapter 9 salvaging Chapter 10 the plight of the emperors Chapter 11 journeying Chapter 12 as the last continent vanishes Chapter 13 a floating archipelago Chapter 14 quantum ecodynamic substrates Chapter 15 looming equations for lost and found Chapter 16 gardens in the fog Chapter 17 the legacy of thomas ralph merton Chapter 18 petrus discovers wonderland Chapter 19 in the morning Chapter 20 2200 kilometers to bruges Chapter 21 adventure in extremadura Chapter 22 the french Chapter 23 affable landscapes Chapter 24 coming into focus Chapter 25 going home Chapter 26 a new life Chapter 27 rights of passage Chapter 28 the state of the world, cont.

Titan Books Ltd The Complete Alien Collection: Symphony of Death
Book SynopsisCollected together for the first time, this action-packed omnibus is filled with secrets, lies, and the silver smile of the deadly Xenomorphs. Across three epic novels, see how the Xenomorph doctrine of Weyland-Yutani and Venture is a short and angry road to hell. Cold Forge With the failure of Hadley's Hope, Weyland-Yutani has suffered a devastating setback-the loss of the Xenomorphs they aggressively sought to exploit. Yet there's a reason the company rose to the top. True to form, they have a redundancy already in place... the facility known as The Cold Forge. When Dorian Sudler is sent to assess their progress, he discovers that there's a spy aboard-someone who doesn't necessarily act in the company's best interests. If unmasked, this person may be forced to destroy the entire station... and everyone on board. That is, if the Xenomorphs don't do the job first. Prototype Corporate spy Tamar Prather steals a steals a Xenomorph egg from Weland-Yutani, taking it to a lab run by Venture, a direct rival to the Weyland-Yutani corporation. Unaware of the dangers it poses, the scientists come to an inevitable conclusion: they need a human test subject... Former Colonial Marine Zula Hendricks has been tasked with training personnel to deal with anything that gets thrown their way. Yet nothing can them prepare them for the horror that breaks out of Venture's lab. Unless stopped, it will kill every human being on the planet. Into Charybdis It was supposed to be an easy job for "Shy" Hunt and the McAllen Integrations crew: set up environmental systems for the brand new Hasanova Data Solutions colony, an Iranian state-owned colony built on the abandoned complex known as "Charybdis." But the ruins have a darker history than any could imagine, and its depths harbor deadly secrets. The deeper they dig, the more Shy is convinced there's no one they can believe. When a bizarre ship lands on a nearby island, one of the workers is attacked by a taloned creature, and trust evaporates between the Iranians and Americans. The McAllen integrations crew are imprisoned, accused as spies, but manage to send out a distress signal... to the Colonial Marines.Trade ReviewPraise for ALIEN: THE COLD FORGE and INTO CHARYBDIS "THE COLD FORGE is simply the most original and gripping Alien novel I've had the pleasure of reading for a long time."-Aliens vs. Predator Galaxy "An intense ride through a story that may sound familiar but manages to constantly subvert-and surpass-expectations"-Dread Central "No book or film has portrayed the people behind the Weyland-Yutani Corporation as more vile and despicable as author Alex White has envisioned them."-Borg.com "Alex White's story would make a damn fine movie in itself."-Set the Tape "Alex White weaves an enthralling tale of humanity at its best and worst, wrapped in the life or death struggle all ALIEN fans have come to cherish.."-MovieNooz "A gripping sci-fi horror in its own right that will appeal to lovers of space horror whether they're Alien fans or not."-Book Riot "A fresh tale of dread... provides ample shocks and screams"-Space.com A gripping sci-fi horror in its own right that will appeal to lovers of space horror whether they're Alien fans or not. - Book Riot A fresh tale of dread... provides ample shocks and screams - Space.com I can't stress this enough ...

When the Colonial Marines vessel Sulaco docks with space station and military installation Anchorpoint, a new form of Xenomorph appears. Written by Hugo Award-winning novelist and "Queen of Cyberpunk" Pat Cadigan, based on Gibson's never-produced first draft. The Sulaco-on its return journey from LV-426-enters a sector controlled by the "Union of Progressive Peoples," a nation-state engaged in an ongoing cold war and arms race. U.P.P. personnel board the Sulaco and find hypersleep tubes with Ripley, Newt, and an injured Hicks. A Facehugger attacks the lead commando, and the others narrowly escape, taking what remains of Bishop with them. The Sulaco continues to Anchorpoint, a space station and military installation the size of a small moon, where it falls under control of the military's Weapons Division. Boarding the Sulaco, a team of Colonial Marines and scientists is assaulted by a pair of Xenomorph drones. In the fight Ripley's cryotube is badly damaged. It's taken aboard Anchorpoint, where Ripley is kept comatose. Newt and an injured Corporal Hicks are awakened, and Newt is sent to Gateway Station on the way to Earth. The U.P.P. sends Bishop to Anchorpoint, where Hicks begins to hear rumors of experimentation-the cloning and genetic modification of Xenomorphs. The kind of experimentation that could yield a monstrous hybrid, and perhaps even a Queen. ALIEN 3 TM & (c) Twentieth Century Films.
