Book Description
The Silurian Tales Volume 1 The 400-Million-Year Itch, Volume 1 of The Silurian Tales, represents the first volume of a master work by one of the SF genre's greatest short story writers. The stories in Steven Utley's Silurian Tales have appeared in Asimov's, Analog, SciFiction, F&SF, and Cosmos, and have been beguiling readers with glimpses of prehistoric life since the mid-1990s. These tales have been described by Brian Stableford in Science Fact and Science Fiction: An Encyclopedia as " t]he most elaborate reconstruction of a past era in recent speculative fiction." The series employs a variety of literary techniques in recounting the adventures and misadventures of a scientific expedition in the Paleozoic Era and also address some implications of the "many-worlds" hypothesis in quantum physics; several of the stories have been reprinted in Gardner Dozois' Year's Best Science Fiction anthologies and the Year's Best SF edited by David G. Hartwell and Kathryn Cramer.

Book Description
Hundreds of years ago in a land ravaged by fierce clans, where only the strongest survive...a Legend of the People was born. From the historic tales of King Arthur comes a raw, riveting and passionate series of novels by author L.A. Wilson, who breathes fresh new life into this spell-binding story. Told in first-person by Bedwyr...the person closest to Arthur's heart...this story is an amazing journey into the past, where social order was kept by the sword, loyalty and the desire to be free. Free to survive, free to live, and free to love without restraint. Through Wilson's powerful story-telling...a whole dramatic world of love, hatred, war, betrayal and loss is created and viewed through the exotic and passionate eyes of 'The Fox.' From the first book 'The Silurian: The Fox and the Bear," to the tenth installment, "Last Man to Avalon," this work is destined to become a literary classic, defining a new age of reading and establishing a new genre.

Book Description
The Silurian, Book Four: The One-Armed Warrior BROTHERS DIVIDED Returned to the Clan Bear on the eve of a massive Saxon invasion, the Fox is now High Prince of Gwynedd. He is re-united with Arthur, and about to face a far greater challenge than anything gone before--time to face a battle that will bring great loss along with its glory in victory. This loss changes the Fox forever. For this is the cost of being Arthur's most powerful warrior, as Arthur himself pays a terrible price for his invincible power. Even Medraut, Arthur's embattled cousin, loses to his father, Lot; and loss binds the three men in a way they have never known before. And yet it is Bedwyr's loss that seals their future fates. As the Fox struggles to survive this loss, as Arthur gives up what he loves to stay at Bedwyr's side, in the end, their struggles divide them once again; as the Fox rises, he falls; as he is re-united, he is torn from the Bear's side by his own wild pain, for what is one warlord's loss, is another's gain. From what Bedwyr had once escaped, he now returns to win battles of his own. A force to be reckoned with, the Fox heals himself with the aid of a simple blacksmith, and here again, becomes Arthur's greatest friend and champion.

Book Description
Secord gives a dazzlingly detailed account of this scientific trench warfare and its social consequences. One ends up with a marvellous feeling for the major taxonomic enterprises in Darwin's younger day: mapping, ordering, conquering 'taming the chaos" of the strata. All of these of course had social and imperial ramifications; and Secord mentions geology's moral appeal (in supporting a divinely-stratified Creation) to a beleaguered elite intent on subduing the lower orders. Originally published in 1986. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Book Description
An epic story of a forgotten hero. Scorned by an ungrateful kingdom, unfairly blaming him for the demise of their beloved Queen, Silurian Mintaka decides he can't fight for his kingdom anymore. To re-enter the hostile fray of his peers would probably end up with him killing them all. An old man reaches through his darkness, convincing him the people's need outweighs his loathing of them. Befriending a few eccentric characters along the way, Silurian faces a whirlwind of drastic choices, that once made, may lead to the deaths of those he is entrusted to protect. Embarking upon the greatest journey of their lives, they travel the uncharted waters of the Niad Ocean; not across, but beneath, on a fool's errand to recover the lost enchantment of his fabled blade.

Book Description
The Silurian, book Seven: The Snake on the Rise A GREAT KING IS A HOSTAGE NOW Arthur is missing, or lost, gone into the wilds of northern Britain, where the rumours are strong that the Saxons have taken him as their hostage with the aid of the Romani Church; that the Bear is more than wounded, but already dead. And in the vacant place where Arthur ruled supreme, his traitor cousin Medraut now begins his campaign to take Arthur's place; to raise the Red Dragon over his own head and declare himself Arthur's heir. But there comes an unexpected enemy standing over both Arthur and Medraut--another son of Lot has arisen in the north, and it is Medraut's challenge to join or defeat him. And always it is the Fox who seeks for the Bear in the wildlands and the dark heart of pain and torture. If Arthur is already dead, as the rumours claim, as Medraut believes, how will Bedwyr survive?

Pretty normal, and pretty boring, really. But this normal life is about to change forever. On a school science trip to watch the test firing of a new particle accelerator, Arn is caught up in an accident that propels him into an extraordinary new world. In this new land, Arn is the last human alive. It is populated with mysterious and bloodthirsty creatures, some of whom want him dead, while others see him as their only hope for survival. Can Arn survive in a hostile world and save his new friends? Or has he arrived in time to witness the fall of a mighty empire? An epic tale of love, betrayal and war in a world both familiar and terrifying.
