Sinopsis

In "Stand by for Mars!", Carey Rockwell crafts a thrilling narrative that transports readers to the outer reaches of the solar system. The novel is characterized by its vivid descriptions and fast-paced action, which are hallmarks of mid-20th-century science fiction. Set against the backdrop of a burgeoning space age, Rockwell weaves a tale of adventure, exploring both the dimensions of human endeavor and the moral dilemmas associated with space exploration. Through the protagonist's journey, themes of bravery, curiosity, and the complexities of interplanetary life resonate, encapsulating the optimism and fears of a society on the cusp of new frontiers. Carey Rockwell, a pen name for a more anonymous author in the genre, emerged during a time when space fiction was gaining immense popularity. His experiences as an aspiring astronaut and a fervent admirer of science shaped his vision, allowing him to blend technical accuracy with imaginative storytelling. This unique intersection of knowledge and creativity provides depth to the narrative, drawing readers into a world that feels both fantastical and plausible. I highly recommend "Stand by for Mars!" to enthusiasts of classic science fiction and readers curious about the era's exploration spirit. Rockwell'Äôs engaging prose and innovative ideas will resonate with those intrigued by the possibilities of space travel and the human condition within that context.

    From USA Today and #1 bestseller Morgan Rice comes A CALL OF TITANS (Book #18), the eighteenth book in the bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING. The series begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (book #1), which has over 5,000 five star ratings!
    
    In A CALL OF TITANS, fifteen years of peace in the Ring are shattered when mysterious breaches appear in the magical Shield, allowing monsters to penetrate the kingdom's defenses. As Thor journeys north to investigate the disturbances, his young warrior son Guwayne struggles with living up to his father's legendary status—until a surprise attack on the kingdom forces him to prove his worth.
    
    But dark forces are at work within the Ring itself, as a cabal of nobles who have long plotted against the royal family seize their opportunity. With Thor facing unexpected dangers in the north, Gwendolyn must make impossible choices to protect her family and the realm she loves. 
    
    As threats converge from all directions, the royal family finds itself separated, with the future of the kingdom hanging in the balance—and each of them forced to face their greatest challenges alone.
    
    With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, THE SORCERER’S RING is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and monsters, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal. It is a tale of honor and courage, of fate and destiny, of sorcery. It is a fantasy that brings us into a world we will never forget, and which will appeal to all ages and genders.

    In a remote town near the Great Smoky Mountains, Bud Gregory fixes cars when he feels like it—and fixes them impossibly well. While the world begins to suffer unexplained deaths, equipment failures, and biological anomalies, Gregory remains unaware that his quiet brilliance may be connected to a growing global disaster. 
    Physicist Dr. David Murfree is the first to see the pattern. As evidence mounts, he follows the trail into the mountains, uncovering a terrifying truth rooted in pure intuition rather than formal science. What he finds challenges everything known about atomic energy, responsibility, and unintended consequences. 
    Murray Leinster blends scientific speculation with human insight, crafting a story where genius wears overalls and catastrophe grows from simple intentions. The Gregory Circle is a tense, idea-driven classic that builds toward an unforgettable confrontation between knowledge and instinct. 
    Murray Leinster, the pen name of William Fitzgerald Jenkins, was one of science fiction’s most influential early voices. Writing for decades, he helped define modern sci-fi with stories grounded in plausible science and deeply human stakes.

    "Nothing like this book has been seen before, either in our language or in any other. We should rejoice that such brilliance exists in Welsh writing." – Pennar Davies, Welsh literary critic
    "Owain Owain's The Last Day transcends the confines of its form and should captivate a fresh generation of readers with this English translation." – Joshua Rees, Buzz Magazine
    The Last Day is more than a moving call to arms for speakers of minority languages facing extinction; at its core, it's a tragic human-scale story played out between the few figures who could have stopped the madness before it was too late. It is, moreover, a meditation on themes like free will, artificial intelligence and the socio-historical processes that contribute towards the death of a nation. These themes are as relevant now – if not more so – as they were when the novel was written.
    With science fiction tropes recalling Philip K. Dick, Kurt Vonnegut and more recently Olga Ravn's The Employees, philosophical reflections in the vein of Dostoyevsky's Notes From the Underground, and its postmodern form, The Last Day is a testament to the depth and creativity of Welsh literature. Its translation into English is long overdue.
