Book Description
A young girl, kidnapped from her planet, is left stranded on Earth. She manages to survive, then tries to blend in with earthpeople and still remain anonymous, for earthpeople hate aliens. After her true identity is discovered she goes from one adventure to another as she flees her pursuers, people who want to capture her for their own selfish reasons and those who want to save the world from extra-terrestrials. The U.S. government becomes involved in the pursuit. Leading the chase is Major John Andrews, who believes in alien abductions. The abductors have tormented him for years. She soon realizes that the only person who can help her is her worst enemy, Major Andrews. He suspects that she is the only person who can save him. Her goal is to go home, not save the world from their own foolishness, and certainly, not to fall in love.

In order to forget Nicolas who has just broken-up with her, her bad grades and the possible devilish fiancé of her mother slash principal, she escapes to Grandma Von Brandt’s farm.

Book Description
Yet decreasing numbers of late twentieth-century and early twenty-first-century readers are familiar with the novel, due to many factors including its length (six volumes), subject matter (preaching), and a legacy of critical evaluation as a narrative lacking plot and psychological depth."--BOOK JACKET.

Book Description
The sails were the product of the Old Technology, lost long ago in the depleted Earth, and they were priceless. For with those fantastic sheets of etheric material, ships could sail the sky and even brave the radiant tides between worlds and stars. The alchemists who had replaced scientists still sough the ancient secrets, and Rachad, apprentice to such a would-be wizard, learned that the key to his quest lay in a book abandoned in a Martian colonial ruin long, long ago. But how to get to Mars? There was one way left - take a sea vessel, caulk it airtight, steal new sails and fly the star winds in the way of the ancient windjammers. Here is an intriguing, unusual and colourful novel of ships that sail the stars riding before the solar breeze that blows between worlds.

Book Description
The Wooden Shepherdess is the sequel to The Fox in the Attic, and the second volume of Richard Hughes’s monumental historical fiction, “The Human Predicament.” It opens with Hughes’s hero Augustine in prohibition era America, where he is a bemused onlooker and an increasingly fascinated participant in a country intoxicated with sex, violence, and booze. In brilliant cinematic style, the book then moves to Germany, where the Nazi Party is gradually gaining in power; to the slums, mining towns, parliamentary back rooms, and great houses of a Britain teetering on the verge of class war; and to the wilds of the Atlas Mountains of Morocco. The novel ends with a terrifying account of the Night of the Long Knives, as Hitler ruthlessly secures his hold upon Germany. This new edition of the The Wooden Shepherdess concludes with the twelve chapters that Hughes completed of the planned third volume of “The Human Predicament,” here published for the first time in America.
