    One hundred and fifty years after its original publication, Alice’s adventures are some of the most beloved nonsensical stories of our time.  
      
    In this sequel to Alice’s Adventure’s in Wonderland, Alice enters another fantastical world, this time by climbing through a mirror. Just like her reflection, everything there is reversed – the nursery rhyme characters are real, running helps one stay still, walking away from something brings it closer. From the Red King to the White Queen, the cowardly brothers Tweedledum and Tweedledee and Humpty Dumpty, Alice meets a cast of characters who are familiar and eccentric. 
      
    But as Alice is drawn into further and further into the world beyond her mirror, what exactly is real and what isn’t? 
      
    This children’s fantasy is like no other.

    Rescue Mission by Robert Silverberg - Snaring both Earthmen in a mind-web was easy for the mutant telepath. But once you've caught your prey—how do you get rid of them? 
    Rick Mason's ship was still high over Mordarga, coming in for a landing, when the cry for help sounded in his audio phones. 
    Rick frowned, reached to the control panel to turn up the amplification—then realized that the voice had not come over the audio after all. It had spoken in his mind. 
    Help! Rick, they've caught me! 
    There was urgency in the mental cry. Instantly, Mason sized up the situation. 
    It was his partner, Klon Darra, the Venusian—the other half of this mentally-attuned Solar System intelligence team. Klon Darra was in trouble! 
    He focussed his mental energies and replied: I read you, Klon Darra. What's the problem? 
    The response was blurred and indistinct, as if the Venusian were laboring under great mental strain. I ... landed on schedule. Fell into hands of ... ruler. In prison. Going to be tortured. I.... 
    Mason struggled to keep his attention on his descending spaceship while picking up the Venusian's fading mental voice. Go ahead, Klon Darra. I hear you. 
    They're going to torture me. Help me, Mason. Help! 
    Where are you? Mason asked. 
    Dungeons of the main palace, Mordarga City. Hurry, Rick. There's not much time!
