Beschreibung

In "Etidorhpa; or, The End of Earth," John Uri Lloyd presents an ambitious exploration of the metaphysical and the scientific, weaving a narrative that transcends the conventional boundaries of fiction and philosophical thought. The novel, first published in 1895, unfolds as a journey into a subterranean world, dissecting topics such as consciousness, the nature of reality, and humanity's place in the universe. Lloyd's literary style is characterized by rich, vivid descriptions and an intricate layering of ideas that reflect the influence of contemporary philosophical movements, including transcendentalism and early scientific theories. This work often blurs the lines between allegory and speculative fiction, challenging the reader's perception of reality through its elaborate narrative structure and didactic elements. John Uri Lloyd was a multifaceted figure, known not only as an author but also as a pharmacist and inventor. His diverse background in medicine and natural sciences informed his unique perspective on the complexities of human existence as depicted in "Etidorhpa." Lloyd's fascination with the mysteries of the human mind and body, alongside his critical interest in the burgeoning fields of psychology and geology, undoubtedly shaped the themes present in his work, allowing him to craft a narrative that is both imaginative and deeply rooted in scientific inquiry. This groundbreaking novel is highly recommended for readers who appreciate a blend of philosophy, science fiction, and adventure. Lloyd's intricate storytelling and thought-provoking concepts invite readers to question their understanding of human experience and reality itself. "Etidorhpa" remains a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, spirituality, and literature, revealing profound insights into both individual and collective consciousness.

    Slaves are easy to sell when they are viewed as nothing but product. Its another matter entirely when you're the one being sold. 
    Sitter has been a bandit for over a decade. He's killed, he's robbed, and he's burned more homesteads than he can count to the ground with their families inside. For him, it's simply a lifestyle he's lived since he was a young boy. The world will always have bandits and he may as well play his part. When his entire troupe is killed, however, and he's sold into slavery himself, he finds the people he must work alongside are the same ones he once sold for coin. 
    It would be easy to let the other slaves kill him and they rightfully deserve to do so. Yet Sitter has a secret, one that necessitates his survival. As he struggles to adapt to his new lifestyle, he finds there may be the faintest hope for redemption. But does someone like him even deserve it?

    When three fortune-hunters break open an ancient Martian vault, they expect treasure — not devices capable of leveling armies, freezing deserts, or bending reality itself. But their uneasy alliance dissolves fast as greed, paranoia, and raw ambition transform the red planet into a battleground of human betrayal. 
    “The Last Weapon” showcases Robert Sheckley at his sharpest, blending dark humor with razor-edged tension as he unspools a tale of power, corruption, and the catastrophic relics of a lost world. Each discovery raises the stakes until the final, unforgettable confrontation — one that proves the Martians saved their most astonishing creation for last. 
    Robert Sheckley (1928–2005) stands as one of science fiction’s most inventive and mischievous voices. Known for his wit, philosophical playfulness, and talent for blending satire with suspense, Sheckley wrote hundreds of stories that continue to influence modern sci-fi. His work appeared in Galaxy, IF, Playboy, and many other top magazines, earning him a reputation as a writer who could twist a simple premise into something brilliantly unexpected. In “The Last Weapon,” those skills are on full display.

    Another realm reached. Another enemy to overcome… 
    Líf and her family have traversed Jötunheim, the realm of giants, and survived. Yet many men in the disgruntled Viking band were not as fortunate. Worse, their inglorious deaths have forfeited them the chance to enter Valhalla. And those that remain are sullen and quick to anger.
