Sinopse

In "Nightmare Planet," Murray Leinster weaves a gripping narrative that explores the complexities of isolation, human morality, and the intriguing intricacies of alien life. Set on a distant world, the story follows explorers navigating a planet filled with unimaginable dangers and ethical dilemmas that challenge their very humanity. Leinster employs a vivid and direct literary style, characterized by sharp dialogue and richly detailed scenes, effectively immersing readers into the alien landscapes and the psychological terrors faced by the characters. This work stands out within the mid-20th century science fiction canon, reflecting the era's preoccupation with otherness and ethical quandaries stemming from humanity's expansion into the cosmos. Murray Leinster (1896-1975), a pioneer of science fiction, had a prolific career that spanned several decades, during which he penned over 1,500 short stories and novels. His experiences in journalism and his interest in technology and futurism deeply influenced his writing. Leinster'Äôs insights into the human condition, coupled with his fascination for speculative scenarios, culminate in "Nightmare Planet," showcasing his ability to blend thrilling storytelling with poignant reflections on humanity's place in the universe. This novel is an essential read for both science fiction aficionados and general readers alike, offering a masterclass in suspense and philosophical introspection. Featuring themes of alien encounters and ethical dilemmas, "Nightmare Planet" invites reflections on human nature in the face of the unknown, making it a captivating addition to the genre.

    Absolute Dark & Seductive | Spicy • A first-class page-turner that blurs the lines between passion, love & danger in a frightening way 
    "This is the third part of the absolutely erotic psycho-thriller trilogy by Robin Rafferty Paxton." 
    Forget everything you thought you knew about psychological thrillers. With "Absolutely Abysmal and Seductive" Part 3 of the trilogy, Robin Rafferty Paxton has created a work that pulls like a suction into the darkest corners of the human psyche - and only lets you go again when you have turned the last page... and even then, it won't let you go. He gets by without bloody scenes! 
    Even the title is a promise – and Paxton keeps it. This book is absolutely abysmal. It dives into depths you didn't know existed. It winds through a labyrinth of lies, obsessions, and hidden desires where nothing is as it seems. And it is seductive. Not only in the obvious sense – although the attraction between the characters is almost tangible – but also in the way Paxton builds the tension, how he plays with our expectations, how he pulls us deeper and deeper into the vortex. 
    The language is precise and atmospheric, the descriptions are so vivid that you can literally feel the settings, the smell of danger and the subliminal eroticism . "Absolutely Abysmal and Seductive" is not a book for the faint of heart. It's a psychological thriller that gets under your skin and captivates you at the same time. It is a book that will make you question your own abysses. 
    Read it at your own risk. But read it! 
    Warning: Not suitable for under 18s.

    The United States is in turmoil nine months after an assassination attempt targeting the new president. Texas, home to the unsuccessful Nationalist Party candidate, has seceded from the Union, and other states are poised to follow. In Santa Fe, a priest who is an anti-nuclear activist is murdered. In Taos County, Sheriff Ulysses Walker investigates the murder of a young man associated with Nuclear Peace and Justice. Meanwhile, at Picuris Pueblo, Governor Ray Pando has a new neighbor-a religious cult called "The Elect," a group closely aligned with the insurgent Nationalist Party. When high-level nuclear waste goes missing from Los Alamos National Lab, Ulysses, Ray, and FBI agent LizBeth Tallichet start to connect the dots. Then, Ulysses learns that an even more dangerous threat, weapons-grade plutonium stolen from a facility in Wyoming, has reached Taos County. Nothing less than a civil war is at stake. Ulysses must race against time to neutralize the threat. The entire country is at risk, and Ulysses finds his life on the line.
