Book excerpt: MACHINE AGE: THE ROBOT GRAVEYARD is a futuristic thriller for middle-grade readers, set in a dark and dangerous Washington DC in the year 2028. Twelve-year-old Jane and her parents are just trying to get by in an age where robot workers have taken over so many jobs that normal people struggle every day just to survive... and where the rich and the poor alike live in constant fear of a vicious gang of subhumans known as insombians. Although insombians normally prey on kids Jane's age, the Walsh family is torn apart when Jane's mother disappears in an apparent insombian attack. Jane hates to let any puzzle go unsolved, especially one that's so important, so her first instinct is to find out herself what happened to her mom. But Jane's dad has other ideas. His only concern is to keep Jane safe. That's why he comes home one day with a secondhand robotic nanny that he found on the black market. Jane's nanny robot is called MARY, and when the nannybot starts acting suspiciously, Jane suddenly finds herself with a new puzzle to solve. MACHINE AGE: THE ROBOT GRAVEYARD is the first in a three-part series that follows the adventures of Jane and her best friend Robbie as they try to unravel the mystery of Jane's enigmatic new nannybot. Along the way, they experience the trials and joys of their final year at Rice Underschool: giving bullies their comeuppance, competing on the varsity crossword team against their rich Overschool rivals, studying Early 21st Century History... even trying to figure out the difference between friendship and love. But these struggles and triumphs all happen under the shadow of a sinister conspiracy that is unfolding all around them. As Jane and Robbie discover more about MARY's mysterious past, they are pulled deeper into a web of secrets involving insombians, the US president, and what really happened to Jane's mom. And as they get closer to the truth, the puzzle becomes trickier, and the solution more dangerous.

Book excerpt: Mageworlds Book Two: Blockaded, restricted, and forgotten--the Mageworlds would never threaten the Republic again. A broken and drifting ship, it's long-dead captain still strapped in the command seat: that's what free-spacers call a starpilot's grave. When one of these derelict craft appears in the Net, the artificial barrier zone separating the Republic from the Mageworlds, the discovery is no accident. It's a sign, a warning that the Mageworlds have not forgotten the Republic--and the Magelords make long plans. But the Magelords weren't planning on Beka Rosselin-Metadi. Beka has unfinished business to take care of, and his name is Ebenra D'Caer: the man who arranged her mother's murder. D'Caer is safe--he thinks--hidden among the Mages on the far side of the Net. Flying under a false name and false colors, Beka penetrates the Magezone and finds more than anyone expected: the Magelords have discovered a fatal weakness in the Republic's defenses, and are poised to wreak their vengeance on the hated enemy. The Mages are too strong. They must prevail. Unless one woman in one ship can do the impossible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WARNING: Be advised, this version of Wizard of Oz contains very strong language. First and foremost, Dylan Gale is the caregiver of his dying mother. When he's not taking care of her, he single-handedly tends to the family farm. Well... not quite single-handedly. He gets a lot of help from his loyal terrier and good boy, Simon. One fateful night, a storm sweeps through Kansas and whisks him away to the land of Oz. There, he meets a “good” witch named Glennis, who sends him on an “important mission” to save the people of Oz. (He's actually murdering her sister, but he doesn't need to know that). Along the way, he meets a foul-mouthed lady scarecrow, a cowardly knight (wearing way too much armor), and an excessively polite robot named Ten. A Farm Boy in Oz is a genderbent fantasy retelling that isn't meant to be taken too seriously. Please note: This was originally released as a 2-part series. A Farm Boy in Oz: The Complete Collection contains both parts of the story.

Download or read book Replications written by J. P. Telotte and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1995 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A haunting fascination fuels our interest in the robot, the android, the cyborg, the replicant. Born in science fiction literature, the artificial human has come into its own in films, lurching to life, holding a mirror to humanity's soul. Beginning with a pre-history of the filmic robot, J. P. Telotte traces its development through early sci-fi landmarks such as Metropolis (1926), the alien films of the 1950s (including Forbidden Planet), and recent explorations of the artificial human in Blade Runner, Robocop, and the Terminator films. Replications also considers the tension between the technological wonders that science fiction depicts and the human values it champions. Film-makers employ the latest developments in technology to fashion ever more realistic human doubles, and then use them to explore what it means to be human. Telotte shows us how the sci-fi genre has always addressed changing cultural attitudes toward technology, the body, gender roles, human intelligence, reality, and even film itself.
