Appears unread. Some light tanning to pages and two light creases to the front
cover and also to the rear cover, but these are very feint. Then o Appears to be

edition with a single number 1 as the number sequence indicating a first
printing of this edition. The title was previously published by Ruper Hart-Davis
in and by Arrow in A First UK B format x mm paperback with a full 1 to 10 number
sequence indicating a first printing.

Rose slept for a hundred years and when she awoke the world as she knew it had
vanished, utterly. Spares by Michael Marshall Smith tells pretty much the same
story, but with a different narrative and a more brutal full-on science fiction
realization.


ANIMATION: CREATION OF A CARTOON SERIES

Jack Randall is the typical Smith anti-hero — all bad mouth and bad luck. He
works in a Spares farm. Spares are human clones of the privileged who use them
for health insurance. Lose an arm in an accident; get your replacement from your
clone. Spares is dark yet witty, and again, muses on the nature of humanity, as
Jack sobers up and sees the future for what it really is.

The Book of Phoenix by Nnedi Okorafor is another tale about what it means to be
a human in a created body. Grieving, Phoenix decides she is in a prison rather
than a home.

The book is, on the surface, about slavery and oppression: Americans and their
corporations taking the lives of people of color as if they meant nothing. It is
powerful stuff, with very tender moments. Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut
is perhaps his most famous work, and maybe his best. These aliens can see in
such a way that they experience all of spacetime concurrently.

This leads to a uniquely fatalistic viewpoint when death becomes meaningless.
Utterly brilliant. Definitely science fiction. So it goes.

A Scanner Darkly by Philip K. Like Vonnegut, Dick often mixes his personal
reality with fiction and throws in an unreliable narrator. Little Brother by
Cory Doctorow takes a look at the world of surveillance. Paranoia is present and
correct as year-old Marcus and his friends go on the run after a terrorist
attack in San Francisco. After a religiously motivated terrorist attack and the
suspension of the U. The point, however, is not aliens or spaceships, but how
people deal with the present, by transporting us to a potential, and in this
case frightening, totalitarian future.

But where does the beast end and the technology take over?


LATEST TITLES

The protagonist in this story is Graham, who is gradually stripped of his own
rights and humanity. He is one of the most engaging protagonists in recent
years: an ordinary man who becomes an anti-hero for the common good. Herland by
Charlotte Perkins Gilman explores the ideas of a feminist utopia from the
perspective of three American male archetypes.

More of a treatise than a novel, it is science fiction only in the sense of
alternative history and human reproduction via parthenogenesis. Gilman suggests
that gender is socially constructed and ultimately that rights are not something
that can be given or taken from any arbitrary group. Le Guin is regarded as the
novel that made her name in science fiction. Humans did not originate on Earth,
but on a planet called Hain.

The Hainish seeded many worlds millions of years ago. In The Left Hand of
Darkness , set many centuries in the future, Genly Ai from Earth is sent to
Gethen — another seeded world — in order to invite the natives to join an
interplanetary coalition. As we live in a world of bigotry, racism and
intolerance, Le Guin brilliantly holds up a mirror.

Ammonite by Nicola Griffith also addresses gender in the far future. On a planet
that has seen all men killed by an endemic disease, anthropologist Marghe
journeys around the planet looking for answers to the mysterious illness, while
living with various matricidal cultures and challenging her own preconceptions
and her identity.

Accepting different cultural ideologies is an important factor in science
fiction and both Le Guin and Griffith have produced highlights here. A new
recruit named Rosemary joins the ship as it embarks on a mission to provide a
new wormhole route to the titular planet. Chambers writes one of most fun books
in the genre, featuring aliens in love, fluid genders, issues of class, the
solidarity of family, and being the outsider.

Norrell by Susanna Clarke. In this folk-tale fantasy, Clarke writes a morality
tale set in 19th-century England concerning magic and its use during the
Napoleonic Wars. Somewhat gothic, and featuring dark fairies and other
supernatural creatures, this is written in the style of Charles Dickens and
others. Magic is power. Who controls it?


ADVERTISEMENT

Who uses it? Should it even be used? This is where the novels diverge. Prunella
Gentleman is a gifted magician and fights her oppressive masters. Cho writes
with charm and the characters have ambiguity and depth. Alif the Unseen by G.
Willow Wilson. Take the idea of power, politics and traditional magic and move
it to the Middle East.

While having a science fiction core, this sadly under-read book has fantasy at
its heart.

As with those above, this is a story of power. Who has it, and who controls it.


REWARD YOURSELF

The elite think they do, but the old ways, the old magic is stronger. And what
an adventure! The narrator quests to find both the sheep and his friend. Or
something more solid?

Moonraker by Ian Fleming


Having previously been a pulp novelist, his dreams are highly stylized. His
existence is a miserable one. Less surreal and magical than Alice , it explores
the fantastical in an original and refreshing manner. The Once and Future King
by T. This is an allegoric re-writing of the tale, with the time-travelling
Merlyn bestowing his wisdom on the young Arthur.


ALPHABETICAL LISTING BY AUTHOR'S LAST NAME - BOOK SUMMARIES, REVIEWS, AND
CRITIQUES

Redemption in Indigo by Karen Lord takes us on a journey into a Senegalese folk
tale. There he kills the livestock and steals corn.

He is tricked by spirit creatures djombi. Paama has no choice to leave him. She
meets the djombi, who gives her a gift of a Chaos Stick, which allows her to
manipulate the subtle forces of the world. Diarist Nao is spiritually lost.
Feeling neither American or Japanese born in the former, but living in the
latter , she visits her grandmother in Sendai.

This is a complex, deep, and beautifully told story about finding solace in
spirituality.
