Download or read book Venna s Planet Book One Broken Promise written by Robin Evans and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venna's Planet is the story of a beautiful woman who tired of shooting aliens, yearns to settle on the new world over which futile war is being fought. However, her decision to join the planetary teams upsets her superior officer, sometimes known as The Countess, who is obsessed with her one-time protégé, and orders her to be abducted, an operation so badly undertaken that its consequences reverberate throughout the entire story. Our heroine is captured and subjected to a process intended to rob her of her very humanity, and within a short space of time, everything she thought she knew is turned inside-out and upside-down. Venna finds herself lost on Promise – the name given to the new planet – and, with a group of new friends, is pursued by menaces from all quarters. Compounding these threats, the otherwise Utopian world is home to terrifying monsters of unfriendly disposition... and at least one tribe of murderous indigenous inhabitants who are very unhappy about the invaders from Earth. Nobody knows the whole truth about Promise,or what plans are being laid by the colonists. Venna knows only that terrible danger hides in its beauty, and that its secrets will not be learned easily. Broken Promise is the first part of the story of Venna's Planet, which takes for its inspiration, pre-war movie serials, classic newspaper strips and vintage science fiction pulp cover art. Glamour is favoured over realism of any kind, and Venna spends much of the story in minimal dresses and bikinis; however, this is usually outside her control, and one should not consider her to be in any way immodest. She suffers many tribulations, but always comes up smiling, and ready for whatever else comes her way. Venna is beautiful throughout, and refuses to be embittered by the dreadful things that happen to her on this troubled planet. Her planet. Venna's Planet.
Download or read book Popular Retro Volume 2 Issue 1 written by Darren Randle and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do you miss the sound of the video arcade? Do you yearn for a time when the fashions of the 1980s return? Do you wish there was a magazine that was all about nostalgia? If so, Popular Retro is exactly what you’ve been looking for; it’s a quarterly periodical designed for people who miss the classic TV shows, pine for the computer games of their youth, and marvel at the curios of days gone by - from flares and drainpipes to BMX bikes. Each issue covers everything from music and films to gaming, popular culture, fashion and much more, with in-depth articles serving up a memorable slice of the things that you still love… even if you’d forgotten about them until now! In this first issue, we review forty years of Sir Clive Sinclair’s ground-breaking ZX81 computer, check out the best Ghostbusters toys (from the 1980s, obviously) and look back at everyone’s favourite helicopter-based TV show, Airwolf. You’ll also find a monster retrospective feature deep-diving into the Philips CD-i console and its games, reviews of some classic horror films (on VHS) and even has a pull-out poster for your bedroom wall in the greatest traditions of the magazines from your childhood. At Popular Retro, old is ALWAYS still fashionable.
Download or read book Venna s Planet Book Two Scorching Darkness written by Robin Evans and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2020-02-26 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Venna's Planet Book One: Broken Promise we followed the story of a beautiful woman who yearned to settle on the new world over which futile war is being fought. Upset by Venna's decision to join the planetary teams, her superior officer – oft referred to as the Countess and obsessed with her former protégé, ordered her abduction. Once captured, Venna suffered a process intended to rob her of her very humanity, and everything she thought she knew was turned inside-out and upside-down. Scorching Darkness picks up right where we left off in Broken Promise, with Venna and company approaching the dwelling place of a planetary tribe known as the Trakuviads. Our heroine and those that travel with her know not what ordeals by earth, fire, water and monsters await them in these caves, but surely know that outside of them, an even more deadly threat looms in the form of the indomitable countess and her cohorts. Another masterpiece from the unique hand of Robin Evans, Venna’s Planet: Scorching Darkness takes for its inspiration a heady mix of pre-war movie serials, classic newspaper comic strips and vintage science fiction pulp cover art. Glamour is, of course, favoured over realism of any kind; once again Venna spends much of the story in various revealing outfits… although the wearing of these is more often than not outside her control, and one should not consider her to be in any way immodest. Despite facing so many trials and tribulations, Venna - the ultimate female role model fighting for control of her own destiny - always comes up smiling, ready for whatever her creator will throw at her next. Scorching Darkness will no doubt receive the same high praise as Venna’s first outing, and is sure to be appreciated by both casual and dedicated fans of the sci-fi graphic novel, particularly those who have enjoyed works from artists such as Makoto Yukimura and Alan Moore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Venna's Planet is the story of a woman who yearns to settle on a new world instead of taking part in a futile space war with the krogs - alleged aliens who dispute the Earth people's claim to it. However, on a routine mission, she is lured off course, and crash-lands in a less than hospitable region of Promise (the name given to the planet). She later learns that this otherwise Utopian world is home to terrifying monsters with tentacles, poisonous fangs, and unfriendly dispositions... and at least one tribe of murderous inhabitants who are very unhappy about the invaders from Earth - but worse threats come from some of her fellow humans. Our heroine undergoes many perils, including being subjected to a diabolical process intended to deprive her of her very humanity. Nobody knows the whole truth about Promise. Venna knows only that terrible dangers hide within its beauty, but she will face any horror to reveal some of its secrets, and to protect the friends who follow her. Venna's Planet takes for some its inspiration, pre-war movie serials, and vintage science fiction pulp cover art. Glamour is favoured over realism of any kind, and Venna spends much of the story in minimal dresses and bikinis; however, this is usually outside her control, and one should not consider her to be in any way immodest. She suffers many tribulations but refuses to be embittered by the dreadful things that happen to her on this troubled planet that she hopes one day will become her home. She always bounces back and carries on. Venna's Planet: Special Edition - Volume One is a complete overhaul and expansion of the original Venna's Planet Book One, Broken Promise. Venna's creator Robin Grenville Evans has dedicated a whole year to this project, with much of the original artwork redrawn, dialogue rewritten, and many new scenes added; the collected newspaper strip format has been abandoned in favour of dynamic framing, which gives the action scenes more breathing space. The speech balloons and font size are all larger - and the entire book is now in glorious full colour. Venna's Planet: Special Edition Volumes Two and Three are currently in progress.

Download or read book Venna s Planet Book Three Peril in Prime City written by Robin Evans and published by Andrews UK Limited. This book was released on 2021-03-23 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this final book of the first set of her adventures on the planet that has been named Promise, Venna continues in her efforts to find the place called Prime City in the hope of locating and rescuing her friend, Shelly, whose part in the story comes to the fore at last. Skullduggery, passion, murder, comedy, redemption, romance, evil science, interplanetary conflict... all these things are here, to varying degrees, but in no special order. Venna continues to be obsessively pursued by The Countess, who is, in turn, being pursued by the authorities; but everything points to a terrible fate for our heroine, unless her friends can rescue her in time... or she can rescue herself. Peril in Prime City is, like the first two books, about some fairly ordinary people dumped down in an extraordinary world. Venna has no super-powers (although sometimes she thinks she may have), she just uses her natural bravery and such strength as she has to cope with the ordeals she finds herself facing. This set of adventures sees her suffering some very unpleasant and frightening experiences, but she keeps her cool and, as usual, bounces back, ready for the next challenge. With a few possible exceptions among the characters, Venna is loved by everyone, and this may be what gives her the strength to keep going when things get very, very bad. Inspired by pre-war film serials, classic newspaper comic strips and pulp magazine cover art, this excellent graphic novel from respected artist Robin Evans is a must-have addition to the bookshelf of any classic sci-fi fan.

Book excerpt: A shy librarian from Earth learns her true female nature as a slave dancer on the planet Gor in this fantasy series where men dominate women. Doreen Williamson is a quiet, shy librarian on Earth. Like many other young women, she is distrustful of her attractions, frightened of men, introverted in manner and sexually inhibited. She lives within a quiet, lonely, dissatisfying, sheltered, and frustrated desperation, distant from her true self, her nature denied, her only friends books and her secret thoughts. In the realization and enactment of a profound fantasy, after acute self-conflict, she dares to study a form of dance in which she is at last free to move her body as a female, a form of dance in which she may revel in her beauty and womanhood, a form of dance historically commanded by masters of selected, suitable slaves: belly dance. She must then dance, for the first time, before men. In doing so, she discovers her own desirability and that she may be well bid upon. Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire. Dancer of Gor is the 22nd book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.

Download or read book The Fabrication of Virtue written by Robin Evans and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1982-09-16 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1982, this book describes a new kind of prison architecture that developed in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The book concentrates on architecture, but places it in the context of contemporary penal practice and contemporary thought. Beginning with an exploration on the eighteenth-century prisons before reform, the book goes on to consider two earlier kinds of imprisonment that were modified by eighteenth-century reformers. The theory and practice of prison design is covered in detail. The later parts of the book deals with alliance between architecture and reform, and with the connection between the utilitarian architecture of the reformed prisons and academic neo-classicism. The overall aim of the book is to show the profound change that was being wrought in the nature of architecture, which was exemplified in the reformed prisons. Architecture, one emblem of the social order, was now one of its fundamental instruments.
Download or read book Magicians of Gor written by John Norman and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 820 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaos reigns on the Counter-Earth in the long-running series that “draw[s] on a combination of philosophy, science-fiction, and erotica” (Vice). After the disaster of the delta campaign, Ar is essentially defenseless. The forces of Cos and her allies are welcomed into the city as liberators. Ar’s Station, which held out so valiantly against superior forces in the North, is denounced as traitorous. Veterans of the delta campaign are despised and ridiculed. Patriotism and manhood are denigrated. Lawlessness and propaganda are rampant. Marlenus, the great ubar, who might have organized and led a resistance, who might have rallied the city, is presumed dead somewhere in the Voltai Mountains. Tarl is concerned with a warrior’s vengeance upon sedition and treachery, and, in particular, with meeting one who stands high among the conspirators—a beautiful woman now enthroned as ubara, whose name is Talena. Rediscover this brilliantly imagined world where men are masters and women live to serve their every desire. Magicians of Gor is the 25th book in the Gorean Saga, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
