William Tenn: THE MEN IN THE...

William Tenn

There are giant, technologically superior aliens who have conquered Earth. People live like vermin in holes in the insulation material of the walls of the homes the monsters have built, sneaking out to steal food and other items from the aliens. A complex social and religious order has evolved, with women preserving knowledge and working as healers, while men serve as warriors and thieves. For the aliens, men and women are just a nuisance, neither civilized nor intelligent, and are generally regarded as vermin to be exterminated. This story begins "Mankind consisted of 128 people. The sheer population pressure of so vast a horde had long ago filled over a dozen burrows."

To Open The Sky

Robert Silverberg

From Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author Robert Silverberg comes, To Open The Sky. 
The Atom was their God—but there was something stronger… 
At the beginning of the 22nd century, Earth colonies were established on Mars and Venus. But the ultimate dream - to travel to the stars - was still an impossibility. 
Cults, fads, madnesses of various kinds swept the population. The maddest--and so far the most permanent--were the Vorst worshipers, the atom adorers, the believers in immortality through technology. 
Yet there were the Harmonists, who believed that technology could never do it. And the hatred between the two factions was too deep to be reconciled - until a conflict on Venus between a Vorster priest and his Harmonist opponent resulted in unexpected developments.

Anzulla - According to ISH

Kashel Char

"Hmmm, an alien, an angel, and a dead prophet. Welcome. We've been expecting you. Please come in." 
  
Operating a piece of heavy machinery, for example, a time machine under the influence of tainted human blood, is never a good idea, especially if my oldest friend and onboard computer, Lasitor, vowed to protect not only me but my bloodline for eternity. 
  
This is my story. If you haven't figured that out by now, I feel sorry for you and your parents. Anyhow, this is how I found my soulmate by accident in a time and place not written down in your human history books.  
  
My story comes with a warning label. It is a time travel, speculative science fiction fantasy—I'm spelling it out for those slow to grasp things like this. It contains elements that might shock or confuse you. Your human history about where you came from, and where you think you are going, might or might not be as you imagined. The explicit, graphic depictions of my love life and my travels are unsuitable for young, sensitive readers or anyone offended by gay sex. 
  
Thank you to the wonderful author who has taken the time to meticulously document everything.
