Synopsis

The sci-fi writer John Wyndham produced innovative works examining the human struggle for survival when catastrophic natural phenomena suddenly invade a comfortable English setting. Wyndham’s post-apocalyptic masterpieces established his name as a leading figure of science-fiction literature. He was also a master of the short story, penning engaging tales of science fiction, satire, detective mysteries and whimsical fantasy. His work went on to inspire numerous writers throughout the late twentieth century, including Margaret Atwood, Stephen King and Alex Garland. This eBook presents Wyndham’s collected works, with numerous illustrations, rare tales, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

    The best of science fantasy meets the best of science fiction as Tedric battles his way through two universes of adventure: In one universe...Tedric the Ironmaster wields the mightiest sword his world has ever seen - and swears to break the power of the evil god Sarpedion, or die in the attempt. This is the second in a series and takes place when Tedric, now a Lord, begins learning how to plan and observe instead of just rushing in to kill. In another universe...only Tedric's strength and daring stand between the dwindling power of the Terran Empire and total alien conquest. Brought from his own distant world by the mysterious Scientists, working toward an end he cannot know, Tedric brings the war-wisdom of his own past into a universe of starships and alien powers. But that is for future books in the series. On Time Track Number Two however, there was one little event that could be used to avert it—the presence of a naked woman in public. So, Skandos One removed the clothing from the Lady Rhoann and after one look, Lord Tedric did the rest!

    H2LiftShips - Vol 1 - Beyond...

    Step into a universe that mirrors our own, but is strangely different. 
    Welcome to the H2LiftShips saga, a cosmic romp that readers can’t stop raving about. Its humor and layered complexity recall The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, while its hard‑science edge mirrors the gritty realism of The Expanse. Along the way, you’ll encounter a kaleidoscope of fringe asteroid societies the crew must navigate that compares to “Firefly.” 
    Critics hail the series as “the most wildly original saga ever written.” 
    At the helm is Captain Graciela, who's finally escaped her overbearing mother's shadow and taken command of a rented solar-sail cargo ship. The void can be lonely, but Graciela's crew on the LunaCola makes every light-year feel like home. 
    Jack, a sharp-tongued talking dog with an uncanny nose for jerky and skills in Dog Chess. 
    Tang, an orangutan whose love of poker is only matched by his daring bets. 
    Octopus, the calm. water-filled navigation wizard who steers them through the darkest reaches. 
    In the first book of the five-volume series, Beyond Luna the crew launches into a high‑octane space adventure that collides with pirates, anarchists, high‑stakes gamblers, and even a stint behind bars. 
    Part pulse‑pounding space opera, part speculative tech manual, the series envisions a future where hydrogen balloons lift solar‑sail ships out of Earth’s gravity well, then across the heliosphere, turning interplanetary trade into the ultimate game of risk and reward. 
    When Graciela unexpectedly runs into her scheming mother on a remote asteroid, a showdown erupts with pirates, thieves, and gamblers all caught in the crossfire. Will Graciela outwit her mother and clinch victory in a rigged card game, or will the LunaCola crew lose everything?

    Colter Axton, a superconscious being who borrows the minds of others for himself and fixes outstanding debts for individuals who fail to pay for services rendered by The Seeker's Market. Phalex, a creation of The Seeker's Market, tracks down debtors to face judgment in front of defrauded merchants. Colter engages in regular confrontations with Phalex, racing against time to settle debts for his clients before Phalex catches them. 
    A particular client, Theodore Kunis, poses a challenge for Colter as the deadline to pay an outstanding debt approaches. Colter evades Phalex while dealing with personal turmoil. Meanwhile, Dalcius, a longtime friend and merchant, falls prey to the Vorn, a genocidal alien race seeking domination. Their aim to exploit Dalcius in preparation for an attack to seize control of The Seeker's Market. 
    Colter collaborates with Phalex to thwart the Vorn's assault, all while facing an uncertain fate and contending with a formidable adversary determined to destroy everything. As events unfold, Dalcius appears in a new form, to neutralize the Vorn and bring these scourges of the galaxy to face judgement by the Multitude of Consciousness. Colter does not understand Dalcius' new form or her cryptic message following the Vorn attack. He does, however, find himself forever changed. Gifted superconsciousness by Dalcius, Colter finds his life getting more complicated and tragic. A tragic end for his long-time friend, Micky, leaves Colter reeling and confused. Friends dwindling, Colter must navigate his new reality and get ready to face tougher challenges ahead.

    "Power is given to those who are willing to accept responsibility." My village expands, my men master martial arts, and my magic grows ever stronger. But my enemies are also hard at work—an interrogator spreading false accusations, a monster hunting down the innocent, and a highborn countess who wants my head.But there’'s one thing they don't understand: every trial hardens me and every enemy only makes me stronger. With each passing day, more and more people learn my name. With each ritual, my magic becomes more powerful. With each victory, more allies join my side. My goal remains unchanged: transforming this disparate and divided backwater into a unified bastion against the encroaching darkness.
