Download or read book The City on the Edge of Forever written by Harlan Ellison and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award-winning original teleplay that produced the most beloved episode of the classic Star Trek series—with an introductory essay by the author. USS Enterprise Starfleet officers Capt. James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock escort a renegade criminal to a nearby planet for capital punishment, and they discover the remains of a city. This ancient civilization is inhabited by the alien Guardians of Forever, who are tasked with protecting a time machine. When the criminal escapes through the portal into the past, he alters Earth’s timeline, damaging humanity’s future role among the stars. Pursuing their prisoner, Kirk and Spock are transported to 1930s Depression-era New York City—where they meet pacifist Edith Koestler, a woman whose fate is entwined with the aftermath of the most devastating war in human history. A woman whom Kirk has grown to love—and has to sacrifice to restore order to the universe. In its original form, The City on the Edge of Forever won the Writers Guild of America Award for best teleplay. As aired, it won the Hugo Award. But as Harlan Ellison recounts in his expanded introductory essay, “Perils of the ‘City,’” the televised episode was a rewrite of his creative vision perpetrated by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and the show’s producers. In his trademark visceral, no-holds-barred style, the legendary author broke a thirty-year silence to set the record straight about the mythologized controversy surrounding the celebrated episode, revealing what occurred behind-the-scenes during the production. Presented here as Ellison originally intended it to be filmed, this published teleplay of The City on the Edge of Forever remains a masterpiece of speculative fiction, and a prime example of his uncanny ability to present humanity with all its virtues and faults.
Download or read book The Guardians Series Book 1 4 written by S. Hamil and published by Frog Haven Press. This book was released on 2023-01-09 with total page 1048 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Guardians Series A bundled world of Angels, Dark Angels and everything in between… This book contains my four first Guardian Angel romances, and is a four book saga starting with Claire, the precocious and curious Guardian who gets so close to the flame, her wings get scorched as she falls hard for Daniel, her explosive and brilliantly talented Brazilian painter charge. We follow the story of two additional main characters in Underworld Lover, Underworld Queen and Redemption. You’ll meet Father, who assigns missions, is enchanted with the stories of the world he’s created and never doubts the genius of the humans he delights in learning about and how they deal with the otherworldly Guardians and Dark Angels who try to help but sometimes prey upon them. From the first chapter in Heavenly Lover where Claire learns there is a cemetery in Heaven, to the conclusion of the saga (for now) where Joshua is tasked with the unthinkable, I hope you love the twists and turns and the colorful characters and worlds I’ve created. Writing these is a passion project for me. Never forget: Heaven was created by design. The Underworld was created by accident.

Chaos is their playground. The Golden Age is a distant memory, its legacy shrouded in myth and whispers. Now, a creeping darkness threatens to extinguish joy from the very fabric of existence. The Devourer, a formless entity that feeds on despair, stretches its tendrils across the cosmos, its influence casting a pall over countless worlds. Hope dwindles, but a flicker of defiance remains. The Scattered Gods, once revered guardians, are scattered across time and space. Anya, a brilliant scientist thrust into a celestial conflict. Thor, the mighty god of thunder, grappling with the power of humor. Hermes, the trickster god, whose wit may be their only advantage. And Apollo, the sun god, whose celestial music could be the key to salvation. When the Devourer's influence reaches Earth, their paths converge. Aided by a brilliant scientist, Dr. Walker, they must rediscover their powers and forge a bond stronger than any they've known. Their journey takes them through the labyrinthine Yggdrasil, a World Tree where logic crumbles and bacon reigns supreme. Here, they face bizarre creatures, nonsensical challenges, and a test of their comedic timing unlike any other. Can the Scattered Gods reclaim their laughter, the very essence of the Golden Age, and use it as a weapon against the Devourer's soul-crushing despair? Or will the universe succumb to an eternity of joyless silence? The Scattered Gods: Guardians of the Golden Age is a hilarious and heartwarming adventure that blends Norse mythology with science fiction, reminding us that even in the face of darkness, laughter can be the most potent weapon of all.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: * “We see through this book the immense power of language…to change the minds of lawmakers and tourists alike.” —The New York Times Book Review * “A poignant portrait of an era when mere words could change the world.” —San Francisco Chronicle * The dramatic and uplifting story of legendary outdoorsman and conservationist John Muir’s journey to save Yosemite is “a rich, enjoyable excursion into a seminal period in environmental history” (The Wall Street Journal). In June of 1889 in San Francisco, John Muir—iconic environmentalist, writer, and philosopher—meets face-to-face for the first time with his longtime editor Robert Underwood Johnson, an elegant and influential figure at The Century magazine. Before long, the pair, opposites in many ways, decide to venture to Yosemite Valley, the magnificent site where twenty years earlier, Muir experienced a personal and spiritual awakening that would set the course of the rest of his life. Upon their arrival the men are confronted with a shocking vision, as predatory mining, tourism, and logging industries have plundered and defaced “the grandest of all the special temples of Nature.” While Muir is devastated, Johnson, an arbiter of the era’s pressing issues in the pages of the nation’s most prestigious magazine, decides that he and Muir must fight back. The pact they form marks a watershed moment, leading to the creation of Yosemite National Park, and launching an environmental battle that captivates the nation and ushers in the beginning of the American environmental movement. “Comprehensively researched and compellingly readable” (Booklist, starred review), Guardians of the Valley is a moving story of friendship, the written word, and the transformative power of nature. It is also a timely and powerful “origin story” as the towering environmental challenges we face today become increasingly urgent.
