  STRINGS is an action-packed, existential sci-fi horror that challenges the very mythos of the cosmos. Beyond space and time, beyond the gods of reality, something was consuming it all. 
  Daniel was lost; torn from his own reality and trapped in a violent universe of old gods, enigmas, and decay. The corporeality around him no longer followed the logic of time or physics, and the threat to his life was becoming more real with each breath. 
  A mysterious condition, known only as The Syndrome, threatens the existence of four remaining deities. As his sanity unravels and dissolves like the rotting flesh of the nightmarish beast that hunted him, Daniel must fight to understand the truth of his significance to these gods. Only then may he find a way out of these convolutions of reality, before his own mind succumbs to madness.

  In this irreverent examination of the alien abduction mythos Mike has been abducted by aliens. He awakens not knowing how he got where he is. Bob, a wisecracking “alien,” greets him. Bob looks exactly like a human being. After much questioning, Mike discovers that people from Bob’s planet have been abducting humans for thousands of years. As part of that conversation, Mike learns that the reason Bob looks so much like Earth humans is that Earth had been colonized by Bob’s people. Due to circumstances beyond their control, the colony was reduced to two directly related individuals, who proceeded to populate the planet with obvious results. 
  The resultant Earth species is suspicious, war like, deceitful, and self-destructive. The population on Bob’s planet is pristine and has no inherent vices or negative personality traits. Mike talks Bob into taking him back to his home planet. The question this book explores is; If a human being from Earth is dropped into a society as gentle as Bob’s, does he conform to the beauty, or realize that the opportunities for exploitation of these people are endless. 
  This is the first book of a trilogy. #2 is 'The Cross-eyed Bear' #3 is 'The Fat Lady Sings'.

  First complete English translation of Jules Verne's classic novel of flight 
  At the Weldon Institute in Philadelphia, a mob of zealous balloon enthusiasts plans to conquer the sky in a state-of-the-art dirigible. When a stranger, the mysterious Robur, declares that the future belongs not to balloons but to heavier-than-air flying machines, the Institute scornfully dismisses the idea. But Robur demands vengeance—and has a unique flying machine that will allow him to take it. 
  By turns an impassioned argument for aviation, a wild proto-steampunk adventure, and a jubilant celebration of the dream of flight, Robur the Conqueror ranks among Jules Verne's most iconic and influential works. Its technological speculations, including the unforgettable aircraft Albatross, are a vibrant snapshot of nineteenth-century scientific innovation. 
  This, the first complete English translation of Verne's 1886 novel, includes an insightful introduction, explanatory chapter notes, and an up-to-date Verne biography and primary and secondary bibliography. It is an essential new edition of a seminal science fiction classic.
