Pages : 67
Book Description
To Jason Crofts surprise Zud proclaims him to be the Mouthpiece of Zitu! Making Jason's life even more complicated! Excerpt"I didn't expect to come back when I left, Murray, and I don't wonder it surprises you to find me speaking to you with the lips of this poor hunk of flesh. Oh, this is an incipient wreck that I'm holding together simply for my own use. It will suffice, even if it has a pair of lungs badly engorged because of a very shaky heart. You laboratories will show the kidneys infected, too. I had to take it, because I wanted to get down here with you.""With--me?" I faltered.He smiled slightly. "Yes--you, of course. You were the only man on Earth who knew my story. So when I needed certain information which I couldn't gain save in the flesh, I knew you were the man to help me get it. But in order to reach you, I had to limit my choice of Earthly bodies. That's how I came to choose this thing at which you're looking."Murray, it's your job to keep me alive until I can gain what I came for--to help me, if you will. Earth possesses knowledge I need on Palos for my work--you can help me gain it just as well here as anywhere else. I want you to prescribe a certain course of study as a part of my treatment and discuss the things I'm after with me. Do you catch my plan?"Oh, yes, I caught it. I made an effort to rally my staggering senses. "Just how is the Princess Naia?" I asked.Croft nodded. He seemed to find acceptance of my part in my question. "The Princess Naia is very much all right."And then I remembered what he had told me before he went to Palos for what I had thought a definite stay. "Or perhaps I should have asked for Mrs. Croft--you said that you expected to be married immediately upon your return to Palos."Croft frowned. "What one expects and what one meets are not always one and the same, friend Murray," he rejoined. "I returned to Palos after my conversation with you, to encounter a situation of which I had never thought."

Alternate Worlds
Author: James Gunn
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476673535
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 337
Book Description
Alternate Worlds was first published in 1975 and became an instant classic, winning a Hugo award. This third edition brings the history of science fiction up to date, covering developments over the past forty years--a period that has seen the advent of technologies only imagined in the genre's Golden Age. As a literature of change, science fiction has become ever more meaningful, presaging dangers to humanity and, as Alvin Toffler wrote, guarding against "the premature arrival of the future." The world has begun to recognize science fiction in many different ways, incorporating its elements in products, visual media and huge conventions.

The Chill
Author: Jason Starr

Category : Detective and mystery comic books, strips, etc
Languages : en
Pages : 188
Book Description
It's summertime in New York, but a 'chill' has settled over the city-- a serial killer is on the loose, and the ritualized murders are becoming increasingly sadistic. The NYPD and the FBI have a suspect: a gorgeous young woman named Arlana. The only problem is that every witness provides a different description of her. None of this makes any sense to anyone except Martin Cleary, a beaten-down Irish cop from Boston with a whopper of a secret in his past-- a past that may go back a century or two--" -- p. [4] of cover.
