Book excerpt: She is the story of Cambridge professor Horace Holly and his ward Leo Vincey, and their journey to a lost kingdom in the African interior. The journey is triggered by a mysterious package left to Leo by his father, to be opened on his 25th birthday; the package contains an ancient shard of pottery and several documents, suggesting an ancient mystery about the Vincey family. Holly and Leo eventually arrive in eastern Africa where they encounter a primitive race of natives and a mysterious white queen, Ayesha, who reigns as the all-powerful "She" or "She-who-must-be-obeyed" and who has a mysterious connection to young Leo. The story expresses numerous racial and evolutionary conceptions of the late Victorians, especially notions of degeneration and racial decline prominent during the fin de si�cle. In the figure of She, the novel notably explored themes of female authority and feminine behaviour. It has received praise and criticism alike for its representation of womanhood.

Book excerpt: The story starts with friends Ahma and Jovian who, like most humans, have fallen on terrible luck. There’s nothing special about these two or humanity in general. The dystopian, grey world the men live in is held tightly in the grip of overpopulation. People are subsisting and not much more. The friends have nothing to look forward to until they happen to find the Church of All Nonbelievers. What’s the guiding principle of this somewhat sacrilegious institution? As the book states, “GOD IS NOT INDEBTED TO THE UNIVERSE AND TIME—WE ARE INDEBTED TO OUR GOD.” Enter a paranormal being who offers Ahma and Jovian the chance to rise above their meager existence. The offer comes with a warning. Should the two mess up the opportunity, they’ll bring their own ruination. The story leads the friends down a winding path that is one half The Matrix and another half Heresy. In the end, the men find out their ties run deeper than ever thought, the government’s guiding hand in their lives more invasive, and the lines between religion and science so completely blurred that both begin to look like futuristic psychology.

Eventually, the EIA and Tellmondo would collide with each other, causing a long, drawn out war that also adversely effects the very geological structure of the Moon itself.
