In the late 1930s, Ian and Katherine Hammond returned home from seven years working as a surveyor in the jungles of Sarawak (Borneo). ‘Home’ was the colony of Southern Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe and it was here that they were reunited with their young children Anne and JJ. Skinny’s passion was the land, and he was able to purchase a tract of virgin bush reserved by the colonial government for white settlers. He would settle it with his family and develop a tobacco farm. It was at this point that Anne and JJ’s adventure was to start. Everything needed for the farm was loaded onto a large dray drawn by a team of oxen, and the family set off down the track that led out from the settled areas. After fording the drift, they travelled all day through the bush, to camp that night under the small kopje that marked their new land. Their first months were spent in the open as the farm buildings were constructed around them... Anne remembers her childhood adventure with great clarity and shares it with us.Voir livre

A cinematic tale of passion, war, loyalty, betrayal, and retribution “These events I relate are the living seeds, and they will bear bloody fruit, I promise.” So says Ulysses, King of Ithaca, as he recounts the origins of the Trojan War. Renowned Greek mythologist Bernard Evslin masterfully depicts the ten-year war: its beginnings rooted in discord among the gods; the seduction of the famed beauty Helen of Troy; and the spectacular development of the Trojan Horse, Ulysses’ cunning ploy to win the war. Evslin brings to life the dramatic twists and turns of this classic tale of human folly, mortal heroism, and the brutality and brilliance that have come down through the ages.Voir livre
The Madness of Lancelot Biggs by Nelson S. Bond - There was more at stake than just a football game for Lancelot Biggs and the crew of the Saturn. So Biggs made a bargain; his rocket emblem in exchange for a new uranium condenser—and how it worked! We had barely cleared Lunar Three and I was taking final instructions from Joe Marlowe, the port Sparks, when my plates dulled out and there I was staring at a blank expanse of metal. So I said, "Merdejo!" which is Universal for a naughty word, and started looking for the trouble. I was on my hands and knees under the audio bank when Cap Hanson came into my control turret. He said, "You lose somethin', Sparks?" "Two minutes ago," I told him. "Take a look around. If you see something bright red and covered with hairy spikes, don't step on it. It's my temper." The Skipper sighed. "If my troubles," he declaimed, "was as mild as your'n, I'd do cartwheels from here to Venus. Sparks, you got a copy of the Space Manual here, ain't you?" I nodded toward my bookcase; he found the reg book and leafed through it carefully. Finally he shook his head. "It ain't here," he gloomed. "Are you sure this is the latest edition?" "Just what are you looking for?" I asked him. "I was kinda thinkin'," he said hopefully, "there might be a paragraph givin' a space commander permission to boil his First Mate in oil, or cut him into small cubes an' feed him to the octopussies. But the waffle-fannies what wrote that book--" I knew, then. It was the same old complaint. Our lanky and incredibly omniscient friend, Lancelot Biggs, whose genius for getting ye goode shippe Saturn out of tight spots was surpassed only by his ability to fester Cap Hanson's epidermis, was back in the soup. I said, "But, sweet comets, Cap, what's he done now? He hasn't had time to do much. We've just pulled our Ampie out of Earth's H-layer."Voir livre
Something is wrong with the world, and the evidence is impossible to ignore. Radiation levels are climbing across the United States, fish are dying in vast numbers, and no natural cause fits the facts. In The Deadly Dust, Murray Leinster builds a quiet, relentless mystery where the danger arrives not with explosions, but with numbers on a Geiger counter. As scientists struggle to understand the threat, one unlikely figure emerges as the key to survival. Bud Gregory is a man who wants nothing more than to be left alone, yet his intuitive grasp of physics surpasses anyone alive. While invisible poison drifts on the wind, a race begins to stop a catastrophe no one else even knows is happening. Murray Leinster was one of the most influential writers in science fiction history, shaping the genre long before it had a name. Writing with clarity and authority, he specialized in stories where science creates consequences that feel disturbingly real. Across a career spanning five decades, Leinster explored nuclear anxiety, technological ethics, and global risk with unmatched foresight. The Deadly Dust stands as one of his most unsettling warnings about how quietly civilization can be pushed to the brink.Voir livre
