Download or read book I Am Crying All Inside written by Clifford D. Simak and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2015-10-20 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Nebula Award–winning author of Way Station: Ten stories—including one never before published—of mystery and imagination in a world that cannot be. People work; folk play. That is how it has been in this country for as long as Sam can remember. He is happy, and he understands that this is the way it should be. People are bigger than folk. They are stronger. They do not need food or water. They do not need the warmth of a fire. All they need are jobs to do and a blacksmith to fix them when they break. The people work so the folk can drink their moonshine, fish a little, and throw horseshoes. But once Sam starts to wonder why the world is like this, his life will never be the same. Along with the other stories in this collection, “I Am Crying All Inside” is a compact marvel—a picture of an impossible reality that is not so different from our own. Also included in this volume is the newly published “I Had No Head and My Eyes Were Floating Way Up in the Air,” originally written for Harlan Ellison’s The Last Dangerous Visions.™ Each story includes an introduction by David W. Wixon, literary executor of the Clifford D. Simak estate and editor of this ebook.

Download or read book First Cosmic Velocity written by Zach Powers and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-08-06 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunningly imaginative novel about the Cold War, the Russian space program, and the amazing fraud that pulled the wool over the eyes of the world. It's 1964 in the USSR, and unbeknownst even to Premier Khrushchev himself, the Soviet space program is a sham. Well, half a sham. While the program has successfully launched five capsules into space, the Chief Designer and his team have never successfully brought one back to earth. To disguise this, they've used twins. But in a nation built on secrets and propaganda, the biggest lie of all is about to unravel. Because there are no more twins left. Combining history and fiction, the real and the mystical, First Cosmic Velocity is the story of Leonid, the last of the twins. Taken in 1950 from a life of poverty in Ukraine to the training grounds in Russia, the Leonids were given one name and one identity, but divergent fates. Now one Leonid has launched to certain death (or so one might think...), and the other is sent on a press tour under the watchful eye of Ignatius, the government agent who knows too much but gives away little. And while Leonid battles his increasing doubts about their deceitful project, the Chief Designer must scramble to perfect a working spacecraft, especially when Khrushchev nominates his high-strung, squirrel-like dog for the first canine mission. By turns grim and whimsical, fatalistic and deeply hopeful, First Cosmic Velocity is a sweeping novel of the heights of mankind's accomplishments, the depths of its folly, and the people--and canines--with whom we create family.
Download or read book Projecting Tomorrow written by James Chapman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cinema and science fiction were made for each other. The science fiction genre has produced some of the most extraordinary films ever made, yet science fiction cinema is about more than just special effects. It has also provided a vehicle for filmmakers and writers to comment on their own societies and cultures. This new exploration of the genre examines landmark science fiction films from the 1930s to the present. They include genre classics such as "Things to Come", "Forbidden Planet" and "2001: A Space Odyssey" alongside modern blockbusters "Star Wars" and "Avatar". Chapman and Cull consider both screen originals and adaptations of the work of major science fiction authors. They also range widely across the genre from pulp adventure and space opera to political allegory and speculative documentary - there is even a science fiction musical. Informed throughout by extensive research in US and British archives, the book documents the production histories of each film to show how they made their way to the screen - and why they turned out the way they did.
Download or read book The Albert Samson Mysteries Volume One written by Michael Z. Lewin and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-12-05 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A trio of thrilling cases for the Indianapolis private eye from the “fast, funny, and brilliant” three-time Edgar Award finalist (Wall Street Journal). Michael Lewin “has brains and style”—and so does his Indy gumshoe, Albert Samson, so relaxed he doesn’t even carry a gun. In these three mysteries collected in one volume, Samson uses his wits to solve some very seedy crimes (Los Angeles Times). Ask the Right Question: Private investigator Albert Samson gets a shake-up with his new client: sixteen-year-old Eloise Crystal is desperate to find her biological father. What the detective unearths is the kind of dirt that makes people do desperate things. Thrust into a moneyed clan of old secrets and killer deceptions, Samson discovers that the first lie may be Eloise’s. The Way We Die Now: When Vietnam veteran Ralph Tomanek is charged with manslaughter, Samson believes there’s more to the story. But why was a man with a history of PTSD hired as an armed guard in the first place? The answer is a dizzying case of blackmail that lands Samson on the wrong end of the gun. The Enemies Within: Samson’s new client is Bennett Willson, a struggling writer looking for justice. It’s a pretty glitzy case for the cheapest detective in Indianapolis: Strong-arm a big-time Broadway producer who allegedly stole Willson’s play. Unfortunately, Willson proves to be as pure as the Indianapolis slush. What he wants is revenge. For Samson, finding out why could mean the final curtain call. The recipient of a Mystery Masters Award, a Raymond Chandler Society Award, and a Maltese Falcon Society Award, Michael Lewin, “writes with style and sensibility and wit . . . He can frighten the reader, too” (Ross Macdonald).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An aging inventor, who is accidentally infected with regenerative nanotechnology, creates a wormhole that allows him to time travel back 12,000 years, where he meets the girl of his dreams. Continually regenerating into healthy young people, throughout the centuries the inventor and his Stone Age bride struggle to save the future, whilst protecting his invention from human greed and the lust for power. But saving humanity is not an easy task. His wormhole technology is used to cross space and reach a whole new world to inhabit, and that is not without its problems. *** Today marks our anniversary of the first fifty years following the exodus to the new world. It’s the anniversary of our starting a new life on our new planet. This fine day I found myself and my lady sitting on a rocky outcrop, overlooking what was once an alien landscape. But after a lifetime of seeing this land and our community grow, it is now regarded as normal, and our home. Relaxing in the warm sunshine and quietly listening to the bubbling stream cascading by, my mind was free to wander back to the time it all started. It was, oh so long ago. In a time and place that is now nothing but a distant memory. I can still remember what it was that inspired me to invent the first ever fully functioning wormhole, in the year 2015, Earth time.
