PAPERBACKS Constantine by John Shirley Pandora's Star by Peter F. Hamilton "It is 2380 and humanity has colonized over six hundred planets, all interlinked by wormholes. With Earth at its centre, the Intersolar Commonwealth has grown into a quiet, wealthy society, where rejuvenation allows its citizens to live for centuries." When astronomer Dudley Bose observes a star over a thousand light years away vanish, imprisoned inside a force field of immense size, the Commonwealth is anxious to discover what actually happened. As conventional wormholes can't reach that far, they must build the first faster-than-light starship. Captained by Wilson Kime, an ex-NASA astronaut a little too eager to relive his old glory days, the Second Chance sets off on its historic voyage of discovery. Dragon's Kin by Todd McCaffery Beginning with the classic Dragonriders of Pern, Anne McCaffrey has created a complex, endlessly fascinating world uniting humans and great telepathic dragons. Millions of devoted readers have soared on the glittering wings of Anne's imagination, following book by book the evolution of one of science fiction's most beloved and honored series. Now, for the first time, Anne has invited another writer to join her in the skies of Pern, a writer with an intimate knowledge of Pern and its history: her son, Todd. ![]() |

NEW!!! |
It is the near future, and a manned Chinese spaceship is on its way to Mars. An American ship is also headed to the red planet, but the Chinese have a big head start and in all likelihood will be the first humans to walk on the planet's surface. When four young misfits almost kill a washed-out ex-astronaut lying on a Florida beach in the middle of the night while four-wheeling in their tricked-out truck, a strange friendship blossoms. After the young adults meet the ex-astronaut's semiautistic/genius cousin Jubal (who has discovered a revolutionary new power source), a crazy plan is hatched to build a spaceship out of old tanker cars, fly it to Mars, and beat the Chinese! They call the ship "Red Thunder," and with Jubal's new power source ("Squeeze Drive") and a lot of American gumption, this ill-matched group of dreamers just might be able to do it...
We liked this book...it was different, fast-paced and witty.

Thus begins the tale of Tiffany, apprentice girl witch, and her battle with the Quin (queen) of the Elves. The Quin snatches small children, enticing them with their heart's desires and keeping them locked away, forever young. When Wentworth goes missing, it naturally befalls Tiffany to strike out in search of her loathsome little brother, armed only with an iron frying pan, a book of fairy tales from her late Grandmother's house, and a piece of string. She is accompanied into fairyland by a large band of the Nac Mac Feegles who have attached themselves like fleas on a sheep to her crusade. They see her as their next kelda, or queen, and they are determined to lay down their lives to keep her safe. |
