Book Description
The Red Planet is a harsh, often hostile frontier world on the edge of civilization where only the toughest, roughest and, more often than not, the meanest are able to carve some sort of life out of the barren wastes. MarsColony is a rough-and-tumble, no-holds-barred collection of small cities, enviro-domed mansions and mining towns where people play by their own set of rules. Murders, rapes, smuggling, theft and all forms of immoral behavior are the "norms." In short, anything and everything goes on MarsColony. It's up to Joe Harker and a handful of MarsCops to make sure that things don't slide too much farther into the abyss

April, 1941. At the former Whitechapel Road Underground station, repurposed as an air raid shelter since the onset of the Blitz, the body of a woman has been discovered, stabbed and eviscerated.

With the spectre of London's most famous killer looming large over their investigation, Coburg and Lampson are under pressure to swiftly conclude this very difficult case as more victims come to light.

Deluge. A novel of global warming.

ISBN: 0369410912
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Deluge by S. Fowler Wright is a classic work of science fiction that was first published in 1928. Set in a post-apocalyptic world, the novel follows the journey of a group of survivors as they struggle to survive in a world that has been ravaged by a catastrophic flood. The story begins with a young engineer named Martin Webster, who discovers that the Earth's crust is on the verge of collapse due to excessive mining and drilling. Despite his warnings, humanity continues to exploit the Earth's resources, and soon, the flood waters begin to rise. As the situation becomes dire, Martin and a group of survivors flee to higher ground, only to witness the complete destruction of civilization as they knew it. As they venture out into the ruined world, they encounter various challenges and dangers, including other groups of survivors who have turned to violence and greed in order to survive. Along the way, Martin and his companions must also contend with the guilt and moral dilemmas of being the only ones who know the truth about the impending disaster. One of the most striking aspects of Deluge is its vivid descriptions of the destruction and chaos caused by the flood. Wright's haunting imagery and detailed world-building make the reader feel as though they are experiencing the catastrophe first-hand. The author's use of language is masterful, evoking a sense of dread and despair that lingers throughout the novel. Moreover, Deluge is not just a story of survival, but also a commentary on the destructive nature of humanity and the consequences of ignoring warnings and neglecting the environment. Wright's cautionary tale about the consequences of greed and exploitation is as relevant today as it was when the book was first published. Another notable aspect of the novel is its complex and well-developed characters. Each of the survivors has their own unique motivations and struggles, making them relatable and adding depth to the story. Martin, in particular, is a compelling protagonist whose journey from a naive engineer to a hardened survivor is both tragic and inspiring. While Deluge may be considered a science fiction novel, it also incorporates elements of adventure, thriller, and dystopian fiction. The pace of the story is fast-paced, with plenty of action and suspense to keep the reader engaged. In conclusion, Deluge is a thought-provoking and gripping read that continues to remain relevant and influential in the world of dystopian literature. Its exploration of human nature, morality, and the consequences of our actions makes it a must-read for fans of the genre and anyone interested in a well-crafted and compelling story.
